Mercedes-Benz uses the most advanced variable section girders, which are different before and after, and have various curvatures, so that the required bearing capacity can be achieved under the condition of reducing weight to the greatest extent.

But Steyr company did not do this, they everything is for the purpose of simplicity and practicality, using ordinary stamping channel steel girders, the shape is exactly the same, if the bearing capacity is not enough, nest a layer of girder in it to improve the strength, this way, is the most simple and direct, as for comparison, the disadvantage is that it will gain weight.

However, there is no promotion of lightweight, for a heavy truck, do you still need to care about the weight of it to add a layer of girders?

Of course not!

At this time, everyone's eyes began to shine.

This method is obviously more suitable for China, because it can be processed without purchasing special equipment, and this manufacturing method is quite simple, fully meets its own industrial standards, and does not need to increase the burden of production.

Advanced, is to have the price of advanced, the current Steyr heavy truck, although backward, but still through the ingenious design, to achieve the design goals that need to be achieved.

Walking along the production line, the frame began to install various components, engine, gearbox, axles, and as he walked, Marzach introduced to everyone.

"The engine we use, codenamed WD615, is based on the WD614 and W815 engines, and is the main power system we will use in the future."

For everyone, the most critical link in the production of heavy trucks, or the engine, it is the heart of a heavy truck, Mercedes-Benz company's engine technology is advanced, but the processing is more precise, the equipment required is more, so, what about the engine here?

W stands for water-cooled, D stands for diesel, so this is a water-cooled diesel engine, as for the next three digits, 6 represents the number of cylinders is 6, and 14 represents the displacement, which is the same way as many engines are named.

The WD615 engine, which was developed in 1978, is the most advanced engine and represents the highest technical standards of Steyr.

"With the development of the times, European commercial vehicles are developing in the direction of large strokes, and our engine is the product of this idea, with a bore of 126mm and a stroke of 130mm, in fact, if you calculate, a single cylinder should be about 1.6 liters."

The domestic Yellow River heavy truck, directly using the marine diesel engine, although it can meet the power requirements of 200 horsepower, but it is still very different from the car, the pursuit of the marine is power, the car, the pursuit of torque.

The power determines the maximum speed, and the size of the torque determines the acceleration ability, which is also the same horsepower.

This advanced engine, but also let everyone open their eyes, in Europe, has begun to popular the concept of modularization, the same is true of this WD615 series engine, in the case of other parts unchanged, just rely on changing the engine intake mode and injection system to change the power of the engine, the power coverage can be from 200 horsepower to 370 horsepower, and covers high-speed engines, high-torque engines and other models, so that from 16 tons of two-axle cars, to 40 tons of heavy trucks, can be covered.

"Right now, we're mainly building the WD615.61, which he adds to the turbocharger and increases the amount of fuel injected. This increases its power from 200 to 260 hp, making it 829 Nm of torque at 1600 rpm. ”

"This engine, the performance is really good!" Hearing the other party's introduction, Nie Yunkai couldn't help but sigh and said, compared to his own marine diesel engine, I don't know how many times better.

Nie Yunkai looked at this diesel engine intently, and hope was already burning in his heart.

Continuing to introduce, the idea of modularization, it is even more impressive, this kind of car, not only the engine is modular, other devices are the same, it through 5 different power engines, 4 transmissions, 3 rear axles, 2 front axles, 2 clutches, 2 steering gears and a set of air modules combined with 7 levels of dozens of models. It can be said that as long as it is introduced, it can fully meet the needs of the country, although it cannot be compared with Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks, but, as far as it is concerned, the technical level of the entire heavy truck has been at the world's advanced level.

Coming down from the production line, everyone nodded again and again, the unknown Austria not only has the blue Danube River, has the reputation of the country of music, but also has this technologically advanced heavy truck!

After visiting the entire production line, everyone already has a plan in their hearts, and now, the rest is to see if their own conditions can be agreed.

In the evening, Steyr's side organized a huge welcome dinner, which was in stark contrast to the high of the Mercedes-Benz side.

When he raised his glass and drank, Yang Lao threw out the topic.

"We are quite satisfied with Steyr heavy trucks, and hope to introduce a full set of production technology and produce in our country, I don't know what you think?"

Mercedes-Benz is unwilling to export technology, and other large manufacturers are also unwilling, so can Steyr open this opening?

"Absolutely." Marzach nodded: "We are willing to export our most advanced technology to the eastern powers, so that our Steyr heavy trucks will bloom everywhere in the eastern powers." ”

Steyr, in Europe, is just a small brand, mainly for domestic use, not even much export, and this time to take the opportunity to seize the market of the world's most populous country, why not?

"Still." Fitzmeyer, the director of the automobile factory on the side, said: "Considering your domestic industrial base, I suggest that you first adopt the CDK method of production, and then gradually expand the proportion of self-manufactured parts, and finally achieve full self-production, if you ask for full independent production from the beginning, this is unrealistic." ”

“CDK？” When everyone listened to this introduction, it was the first time they had heard of it, and they couldn't help but cast curious glances, could it be that these Austrians were not willing to export, so they came up with a new way?

"This method is called piece assembly." Qin Zhenhua gave a brief introduction to everyone on the side: "Our domestic vehicle manufacturers, first of all, import a full set of parts from the hands of supporting suppliers, and assemble them in our country, so that they can be produced in the fastest way." ”

Look at the Austrians, but also to make money, but the plan proposed by the people is the best, they can accept it, win-win cooperation, if the Mercedes-Benz heavy truck, also put forward this kind of plan, how good it would be!
