"No, no, we're just here to visit." Qin Zhenhua said: "Your diesel locomotive looks very special. ”

"Special? Do you mean looks? In terms of appearance, there are some differences with your locomotive, but our locomotive, the main consideration is the convenience of maintenance, there is a workbench, and it is also convenient for scheduling. Smith said.

Different cultures consider different angles of problems, and their locomotives are designed in this way, which is to facilitate the dispatch back and forth on the platform, and a person in charge will stand on the platform in front of them, directing the driver to drive, and it is easier to operate such as hooks.

"This locomotive is our latest product from General Electric." Since he came to visit, Smith enthusiastically introduced it.

After all, this is one of their big customers, and they are now quite confident in the eastern market, and of course, this is also related to the national conditions of the United States.

In the United States, land is privately owned, so it is not easy to build a railroad, if you want to build it, you have to pass from other people's land, and the land is not state, so in this way, you have to negotiate with others, and people have to give as much as they want, this is not the most troublesome, the most troublesome, that is, people don't want any money, just don't let you cross, at this time, the railroad has to be rerouted.

Therefore, the railway transportation in the United States is not developed, but they are developed by road transportation, so that the locomotive locomotive manufactured by the company is not much for domestic use, and it must be sold.

In the big eastern countries, railway transportation is precisely the main mode of transportation, the road transportation in the eastern countries is not developed, and the performance of road vehicles is not high, so a large number of materials are transported by rail.

General Electric Company took a fancy to the oriental market and directly got their most advanced locomotive head, yes, this kind of locomotive is their most advanced at present.

"This C36-7 diesel locomotive is a mainline freight diesel locomotive, which is the replacement product of our U36C diesel locomotive. The initial C stands for a six-axle locomotive with a Co-Co axle, 36 for a locomotive with a power of 3600 hp, and -7 for a locomotive that belongs to the Dash 7 product family. Our locomotive uses FDL16 diesel engine with an axle load of 30 tons and a maximum operating speed of 112 km/h. Smith introduced.

When he heard that the locomotive power was 3600 horsepower, Qin Zhenhua frowned even more, and sure enough, he was already one step late.

He knows that the power of domestic locomotives is not even enough for 2,000 horsepower, and now, this kind of locomotive has 3600 horsepower, which even exceeds the maximum power of MTU's 396 diesel engine, so if you sell this diesel engine again, I am afraid that there will be no chance!

For railway locomotives, the demand for power is endless, that is, the bigger the better, now, since there is already this power system, then, it is estimated that it is not worth the products of MTU company!

"So, are we planning to import this head?" Qin Zhenhua asked.

Since it is assessed here, there must be plans to import it.

Hearing Qin Zhenhua's question, Sun Xinmin on the side introduced: "That's right, we have plans to import, and now, once this locomotive enters our railway department, it will definitely bring a great improvement in transportation capacity." At the same time, we have also negotiated that if the test is qualified, on the one hand, we will directly introduce a batch to satisfy the railway department's thirst for transportation capacity, and on the other hand, we will introduce all the technology of this locomotive through the combination of technology and trade, and the United States has agreed to transfer all the technology of this locomotive free of charge. ”

This American, too, is too much, and actually wants to transfer technology for free! Qin Zhenhua was even more speechless when he heard this.

Of course, this is in the interests of the other party, after all, if the country wants to import, it is estimated that it will be hundreds of imports to be able to meet the tight domestic railway capacity.

In addition, in accordance with the domestic policy, purchasing a part of the product and introducing technology to produce a part of it ourselves is also an important aspect of effectively improving domestic industrial technology.

With the reform and opening up, the national economy has developed rapidly, and the railway transportation capacity has become tense, and the development of the economy requires the circulation of goods, and most of the circulation of this kind of goods is transported by railway.

The domestic locomotive locomotive is backward in performance and cannot meet the growth needs of transportation capacity, so that a new locomotive is needed to traction, and although the domestic locomotive is also self-developed, the self-developed technology is far from being satisfied, so the introduction is necessary.

Now, when it comes to transfer, Smith is not shy about it, and he began to introduce Qin Zhenhua and others, obviously, he regarded them as some key personnel.

This business is not only what the Americans want to do, but also the British want to come in and intervene, so they must provide enough sincerity, and after importing, they will also carry out technology transfer, which is the sincerity.

The person in front of him, Qin Zhenhua is young and can speak English, he should be the translator of the old man, this old man named Wu Ruihua looks relatively calm, and there is a kind of momentum between his gestures, and he is estimated to be a big official.

If it wasn't a big official, why let Director Sun run out to greet him after hearing it?

Smith didn't know that he had made a big fuss, and the people who came were actually here for the purpose of selling diesel engines, that is, robbing their business.

Now, he introduced it very politely.

"Our locomotive has a large number of new technologies, and the first batch of technology transfer is the manufacturing technology of 12 key components, including GTA24A3 traction generators, GE752AF8 traction motors, auxiliary motors, electronic control products, constant power excitation devices, wheelset anti-rotation devices, exhaust gas turbocharging devices, 7FDL-16 diesel engine main components such as cylinder liners, pistons, etc."

The other party said while pointing to the various parts on the locomotive, after reading these, Qin Zhenhua knew that this promotion was even more impossible.

The locomotive of the railway has a unique way, which adopts the scheme of electric propulsion.

That's right, the engine of several thousand horsepower, the direct drive of the wheels is quite complicated, the clutch and gearbox, that is, quite complex, the early locomotives, using the scheme of hydraulic torque converter, and now, has all entered the era of electric propulsion.

The diesel engine equipped on the car is used to generate electricity, and then, the electric current acts on the motor of the wheel to drive the train to run, which is the most suitable driving method for the diesel locomotive now, and most of the domestic diesel locomotives are also doing this.

That is to say, he only sells a diesel engine, which is useless, for railway locomotives, what is needed is not only a diesel engine, but also a generator and an electric motor, what is needed is a complete set of locomotive electric drive system, and what General Electric Company is promoting is precisely such a system!
