"That Marx is obviously fearless, their analysis is not wrong, and other companies will not meet our conditions." The car was driving on the rugged road, looking at the surrounding mountains, Qin Zhenhua introduced to the people in the car: "So, instead of wasting time, we should skip them directly and find a manufacturer that can really cooperate with us." ”

Last time I broke up unhappily from the Mercedes-Benz heavy truck company, no one accused Qin Zhenhua of being too intense, because, this is the case, even if Qin Zhenhua doesn't say that, people will not agree.

After coming back, they conducted a careful analysis, and under Qin Zhenhua's suggestion, everyone changed their original purpose and went to Steyr Company.

On the way, Qin Zhenhua continued to introduce this small company with an unknown name, after all, people make weapons.

As early as 1864, Joseph Warnet officially founded the Steyr Company, known for its production of rifle firearms. Steyr target LOGO, that's how it came about, after World War I, they officially used the name of Steyr AG, the company's main business is still firearms, all kinds of weapons, in order to provide a stable chassis for weapons, they entered the field of vehicle production, most of them, are military vehicles. Like the twin-cylinder Haflinger and the 4 by 4 or 6 by 6 Pinzgauer, to the Fiat Panda to the Mercedes-Puch G. Among them, their heavy truck is the Steyr 91 series. Because the output is not high, the production of this kind of heavy truck, in Steyr, is actually a bit of a chicken rib. ”

Don't produce it, they don't have a qualified military chassis, and, after all, they still occupy a certain domestic market share, if they are directly abandoned, it's a pity, if they produce, the profit is really not very high, and they can't be compared with Mercedes-Benz and Volvo.

"In other words, only such a project can open the door to us." Qin Zhenhua said: "The Austrians are still very enthusiastic, the last time we came, a small team visited Steyr, and they were warmly welcomed at that time. ”

Our L7 105mm tank gun, which requires electroslag remelting steel and other technologies, was actually obtained from Steyr.

At that time, it was at Qin Zhenhua's suggestion that a detachment of the Second Machinery Factory went over, and later played a pivotal role in the negotiations with the British.

However, Qin Zhenhua didn't go last time, this time, at Qin Zhenhua's suggestion, everyone decided to try their luck at Steyr Company.

Before departure, everyone was full of interest and hope. A small number of imported Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks in China, the performance is quite good, especially the people have also upgraded to the NG80 series, which was originally not Mercedes-Benz, but this kind of behavior of catching up with the other party has no good results in the end.

It's a suffocation!

Originally, who could have taken a fancy to Steyr? Even, many people in the car have not heard Steyr's name.

"Look, that car out there is."

As he was introducing, a heavy truck drove over on the opposite highway, and Qin Zhenhua stretched out his hand and pointed it out to everyone.

It was a white heavy truck, with clear lines at the front, showing a convex sharp corner, an angular cab, not rounded at all, and the large STEYR characters below were very conspicuous, and there was a number of 91 below.

The car drove next to the passenger car, and the cab inside could be seen from the side, and it could be seen that the cab was not very wide, the sleeper behind was narrow, and the silhouette of the side of the car body was still a rough image with edges and corners, but it had the feeling of a Soviet truck.

The roar of the engine sounded good, as if the whistle could be heard.

"Well, that sounds like a turbocharged engine." Nie Yunkai said a word, and his mouth was full of praise.

In this era, the domestic engine is still a natural aspirated engine, only on the tank diesel engine, only began to use turbocharging to improve the power level, want to improve the power on the limited engine, turbocharging is the necessary way, at the same time, this is also the international just began to become popular.

Steyr heavy trucks actually use turbocharging, which shows that the technology of the heavy trucks produced by this manufacturer is still okay.

It would be great if the Yellow River Plant could get this project done!

The heavy truck that drove by attracted everyone's attention, and at this moment, it seemed to witness the fate of Steyr heavy truck and the eastern powers.

In the afternoon, the car drove into the city of Steyr, a completely heavy industrial city, and the entire urban area revolves around the military giant.

In a corner of the city, the head of the Steyr Commercial Vehicle Company, Fitzmeier, the head of the Steyr Group, Marzach, and the mayor of Steyr Gustav, were at the gate of the company, welcoming the arrival of the group.

After Yang Lao got out of the car, listening to the introduction, his heart was inexplicably excited, compared to the Mercedes-Benz company, look at the Steyr company, how much they value the inspection of their own line!

The reason that the store bullies customers has existed since ancient times.

Regardless of the fatigue of the journey, the group went straight to the heavy truck factory with great interest and inspected the production line.

Starting from the final assembly plant, the initial frame production was completely different from that of Mercedes-Benz heavy trucks.

"Our vehicle frame, using the common trough girder, can not even be produced in the heavy truck factory, in the steel plant, directly stamped into this shape, transported to the heavy truck factory, as long as it is truncated to the corresponding length on the line, it only has a cross-sectional shape, the front and rear through the beam riveted up, become a truck chassis."

Looking at this simple heavy truck chassis, everyone pays attention to it, heavy truck chassis, that is the foundation of a truck, Mercedes-Benz is most proud of the heavy truck chassis, the use of variable section of the girder, reasonable design, complex manufacturing, here, is the simplest and rude solution to the problem.

"But is there a guarantee of strength if you do this? How to solve the strength of different models? ”

The car is a series, different models, different strengths, heavy vehicles, is this one enough?

"For the chassis of different load models, the method of additional auxiliary longitudinal members is used to solve the problem." Fitzmeyer explained.

One layer of girder is not strong enough, just directly inside this layer of girder, add a layer of secondary girder, Steyr company, do not consider so complicated!
