Chapter 564: Steyr Heavy Truck
readx;
On the global car manufacturing, the first recommendation is naturally Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-Benz company as a German company, has a consistent rigorous style and strong research and development capabilities, at this time Mercedes-Benz G80 series trucks, after Mercedes-Benz Automobile Company from the late 60s began to set up the project, after ten years, spent billions of marks on the development costs, and finally in the late 70s put on the market of the latest model in later generations, this car was eventually introduced by China, produced in Baotou, called North Mercedes-Benz. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info≦≧ Although China has such heavy-duty semi-trailers as Jiefang, Dongfeng, Auman, and Delong in later generations, the performance of North Mercedes-Benz still exceeds these models, which is the technology of the late seventies in Germany!
At present, the G80 series trucks have the world's leading technical level. ≦≧For example, as the basis of the whole car, the frame of the chassis of the whole vehicle is not a structure of the same width before and after made of ordinary channel steel, but an unequal width, variable cross-section, side beam type fish belly structure frame, which is the unique frame technology of Mercedes-Benz, which can not only reduce weight and volume, but also greatly improve the bending strength, torsional elasticity and ability to bear asymmetric cyclic alternating impact loads of the frame. ≦≧ that is, it can maintain a certain speed when passing through difficult sections without worrying about the frame being affected by too much impact and deforming.
The working and survivability of this Mercedes-Benz truck in harsh environments has been greatly improved, especially in terms of logistics and transportation support under wartime conditions.
However, the disadvantage is also very obvious, that is, this kind of car is too expensive!
Although Iraq has abundant oil resources buried under the soil, if it were not for Qusay's deliberate development of Iraq's industrial and military power, these funds would be distributed to every Iraqi, enough to make each of them an enviable billionaire. ≦≧However, His Excellency Qusay tightened his belt and led the Iraqi people to build an industrialized state.
A lot of money in Iraq was used to invest in planes, missiles, tanks. ≦≧ accounts for a large part of Iraq's fiscal spending, and it is good that Qusay did not reach out to borrow money from his Arab brothers, as Saddam Hussein did in history.
Although His Excellency Qusay was very generous at certain times, for example, fighter planes, and Mirage 4000s for tens of millions of dollars, His Excellency Qusay frowned. ≦≧ equip yourself with the Air Force. Hundreds of millions of dollars in AWACS aircraft, and His Excellency Qusay is also very generous. But, at some point. His Excellency Qusay is also very picky, for example, the last time he visited France. Don't stay in a high-class hotel. As a result, others went abroad later, and they had to lower their own standards. After taking charge of Baghdad, he often went to the homes of high-ranking Iraqi figures to eat, in a sense, he cared about the lives of these high-level figures and got closer to them, but in private, they were all speculating whether His Excellency Qusay wanted to save the cost of eating at home.
Cars, unlike fighter jets. It is necessary to equip in large quantities, and in addition to the military, there is also a large market for civilian use. Qusay estimates that there will be a demand for 10,000 vehicles in Iraq for at least five years, so. Iraq needs to be able to afford this kind of car.
Another point of consideration is that the German G-80 car, while the performance is very good, there are also many conditions for use and maintenance. Some delicate.
What Iraq needs is performance and durability at the same time. Just like the Chinese-made Type 69 tank, adapt to the brutal and rough treatment of the operator, in this way, Steyr is also a very good choice, although Steyr's products are not as high as Mercedes-Benz in various performance indicators, but it is enough for Iraq to use, the cost of production and maintenance is very low, and there is the actual test of later generations on the land of China, Cusay has set his sights on the truck branch of Steyr-Daimler-Puch AG in Austria.
On the eve of the New Year in 1984, Kusai sent a delegation to the Austrian company to focus on the company's 91 series heavy trucks.
………… North, Red Empire, USSR.
"At the moment, the situation in Iran is very complicated." Aschuk, who was in charge of Middle East affairs in the First Directorate of the KGB, personally reported to these highest-ranking figures in the Soviet Union, and he seemed a little excited.
After calming down his words, Yashuk said: "At present, Tehran, the capital of Iran, has been taken by Iraq, and Iraq has withdrawn most of its troops after pacifying the situation in Tehran. It is also in the hands of Iraq. ”
