Chapter 313 Tyrannosaurus 100, breaking the Chinese truck landscape
The heavy truck industry is still very obviously different from passenger cars.
With slight modifications, many heavy trucks can play a great role in the military.
In fact, there are not many countries in the world that have heavy truck production capabilities.
Even Huaxia does not yet have complete heavy-duty truck production capabilities. Otherwise, the First Machinery Department would not have worked so hard to negotiate with various automobile giants to introduce heavy-duty truck technology and establish Sanqi Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd. .
Although this project was ultimately unsuccessful, it still had a relatively large impact on many people.
Compared with those trucks currently produced by FAW and Second Automobile Works, the transportation efficiency of heavy trucks is not at the same level at all.
Now that the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory wants to launch a heavy truck project, Zhou Jian from the First Machinery Department directly listened to Zhu Jiansheng’s report with the leader of the Fifth Machinery Department.
“The current civilian trucks, namely the Huanghe brand JN150 eight-ton truck, have the largest load capacity, but it is only eight tons, which is far behind the international advanced level.”
“The only heavy-duty military off-road vehicle is the Hongyan CQ260, and the technology is imported from the Bailey heavy-duty military truck.”
"It can be said that these two vehicles basically represent the current technological peak of domestic heavy-duty vehicles."
"In this case, we really need to be able to meet the new economic and military development needs. This is also the reason why the First Machinery Department promoted the three-wheel drive project before. "However, due to funding reasons, the three-wheel drive project has now been put on hold."
"If the Capital Institute of Technology. If we are confident in developing a heavy-duty truck, our First Machinery Department will definitely give our full support.”
Although Capital Institute of Technology is a university affiliated with the Fifth Machinery Department, Zhou Jian clearly expressed his support this time. .
Many units have realized the importance of heavy trucks, and superior departments have also assigned relevant research and development tasks to the First Machinery Department.
However, for China at this time, it is really difficult to develop a heavy-duty truck independently.
Although heavy trucks have become a common commodity in later generations, many domestic commercial vehicle companies can produce them.
FAW Jiefang J7 and J6, SINOTRUK C9H and HOWO7 series heavy trucks, Dongfeng Tianlong Tianlong GX and Chenglong HK, as well as Shaanxi Automobile's Delonghi X6000 tractor, Foton's Auman Galaxy, BAIC Dream Series , JAC across K7 and so on.
It can be said that each unit has many choices to purchase a heavy truck.
But that will happen after China's automobile industry has developed rapidly for decades, and it is still not possible now.
Huanghe trucks with a load capacity of 8 tons are considered heavy trucks. You can imagine how big the technical gap is.
“Nowadays, heavy trucks are needed to transport tanks, tow heavy artillery and other military equipment. If you have a specific heavy truck design plan, the ministry will also fully support it.”
Hu Yong, as the fifth machine As the head of the department, his support for Capital University of Technology cannot be weaker than that of Zhou Jian.
When the time comes, the results will be achieved. The Fifth Machinery Department has good leadership, and no one can take away this credit.
"The design of the transport truck we developed for the intercontinental ballistic missile of the Seventh Aircraft Department has been completed, and the first prototype can also be assembled in the near future."
"In this process, we have accumulated many heavy-duty trucks With the relevant design technology, we are fully confident in designing a heavy-duty truck that can meet both military and civilian needs.”
“According to our preliminary plan, the load capacity of this heavy-duty truck can reach 12 tons, becoming a domestic heavy-duty truck. The truck with the largest load capacity. ”
“At the same time, it will develop a variety of extended models, design the cabin into multiple sizes according to needs, and specially develop corresponding tractors. ”
“We have already thought about the name of this heavy truck, it is called the Tyrannosaurus series heavy truck.”
"The first product is the Balong 100. In the future, we will continue to upgrade and develop different models with a load capacity of 12 tons to 24 tons, and the towing weight can be doubled."
"Balong heavy truck, It will definitely break the truck pattern in China and quickly bring our heavy truck technology into line with the international advanced level."
Zhu Jiansheng said so eloquently that both Hu Yong and Zhou Jian were very excited.
China is indeed in great need of a heavy-duty truck, but no giant has introduced a technology that satisfies everyone.
Relying on FAW and Second Automobile Works is a bit unreliable.
Now the Capital Institute of Technology suddenly appears, saying that their school-run enterprise, the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory, is preparing to enter the heavy-duty truck market and become the largest heavy-duty truck company in China.
This is definitely a good thing.
The factory that everyone originally had high hopes for did not even dare to draw a pie for their superiors, let alone give everyone concrete hopes.
On the contrary, the Ligong Special Vehicle Factory appeared that no one expected at all.
As long as Zhu Jiansheng dares to paint a big picture for everyone, Hu Yong and Zhou Jian will support him.
Not to mention that Capital University of Technology, as the most influential university in China for vehicle engineering and related majors at this stage, its strength is still very exciting.
After all, there have been so many results before.
The Humvee military vehicle, in particular, performed very well in southern Xinjiang and was praised by many teams.
“According to your plan, in which year will the Balong 100 be mass-produced?”
Zhou Jian knew that heavy trucks would not be easy to produce, but he was still willing to give Capital Institute of Technology full support. of time.
According to his expectations, large-scale mass production can be achieved within four to five years, which is actually a very good result.
Unexpectedly, Zhu Jiansheng directly set a high goal for himself, "Leader, according to our plan, the Balong 100 heavy truck will complete the design of all parts within next year and start sample production, and it will be produced in 1985. Multiple batches of prototypes were tested in various environments, and finally in 1986 Achieving large-scale mass production within the year ”
“If everything goes well, we even hope to achieve large-scale mass production within 1985.”
This is a big schedule. The information will definitely be asked, and Zhu Jiansheng has already made preparations for this in advance.
With experience in the development of intercontinental missile launch vehicles, Zhu Jiansheng is relatively confident in handling the Balong 100.
If that doesn't work, you can have a good chat with Jiang Hui when you encounter any difficulties and see what kind of solutions Jiang Hui can give.
“The maintenance performance of foreign heavy trucks is generally very good. There is no need to rush your Barong 100. Put more effort into designing various parts perfectly so that our drivers can I often stop for repairs. "
The schedule information given by Zhu Jiansheng seems to be very tight. If the quality of the heavy truck is affected in order to meet the schedule, it is not worth it in Hu Yong's opinion.
So after listening to Zhu Jiansheng's report, not only did he not instruct him to advance the mass production time of the Balong 100, but he hoped that Zhu Jiansheng would pay attention to the quality issues of heavy trucks.
At this stage, there are actually quite a lot of industrial products that China can produce.
But there is a problem with many products, that is, the quality is not particularly good.
This problem is even more prominent in the automotive industry.
After all, if there is a problem with the car on the way, sometimes it will cost people's lives. "Such a brand-new heavy truck has very high requirements for diesel engines. The engines produced by the Capital Internal Combustion Engine Factory for Hummer military vehicles should not be able to meet the requirements. Do you have any specific plans?"
< br>
Zhou Jian is an expert in the automobile industry.
Zhu Jiansheng introduced some situations of Tyrannosaurus 100, and he quickly realized some of the difficulties.
"The leader is right, our heavy trucks must not share the same engine with the Humvee military vehicle."
"This time, we are planning to build an engine factory at the same time to specialize in the production of large-displacement Diesel engines, 6L diesel engines will be produced initially, and larger displacements will be developed later, up to 11L, 1 Up to 2L. ”
“Once these engines are successfully developed, we will be able to produce a variety of heavy trucks to fully meet the needs of the national economy and related team development.”
Special vehicles for science and technology. The factory is a project that Zhu Jiansheng focuses on building, and it is also the key for him to firmly establish himself as the vice president of Capital University of Technology.
If you want to go further in the future, you will definitely need some achievements.
If the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory can become the largest heavy truck model in China and continue to make breakthroughs in technology, it will be of great significance to him personally, the School of Mechanical and Vehicle Engineering and the Capital Institute of Technology.
Even in the future, Capital University of Science and Technology will be able to independently prepare scientific research funds, becoming a very special alternative in China.
This kind of alternative is definitely a very rare honor, which can make teachers and students of Capital Institute of Technology become leaders in the industry, and the school's influence and ranking will inevitably increase rapidly.
“In the context of reform, we just need everyone to have the spirit of daring to fight and fight hard. If the Balong 100 is successfully developed as planned, then Vice President Zhu, you will definitely become the most famous expert in the Chinese automobile industry. .”
Hu Yong was in a very good mood.
He ate the pie that Zhu Jiansheng painted for him very deliciously.
He even began to imagine the scenario where the Tyrannosaurus 100 would be mass-produced off the production line, and the Polytechnic Special Vehicle Factory would continue to develop various models of heavy trucks.
Although he may not have the opportunity to go further by then, his resume in office is absolutely perfect.
"Both of our departments fully support the Balong 100 project. Vice President Zhu, please have someone submit the project approval materials as soon as possible, and I will specially approve a start-up fund for you."
Although the Capital Institute of Technology was able to raise part of its own funds relying on the Humvee military vehicle project, Zhou Jian still took the initiative to propose that the Ministry of Machinery and Machinery would allocate a batch of funds to support the development of this project.
Hu Yong next to him naturally expressed the same opinion.
Zhu Jiansheng will definitely not be polite about the funds that come to his door.
Quickly, after he reported to the two heads of the First Machinery Department and the Fifth Machinery Department, he arranged for someone to formally submit the project approval materials for the Balong 100 project.
Within the Capital University of Technology, the project progress has also officially begun.
"Principal Zhu, fortunately some time ago you proposed to expand the enrollment of vehicle engineering-related majors this semester, otherwise we will definitely not have enough manpower in the future."
Lai Yongfeng is Zhu Jiansheng's direct subordinate, and he started following him many years ago. Zhu Jiansheng works.
Now Lai Yongfeng is a professor in the Department of Vehicle Engineering. He not only leads the design of automobile parts in one field, but also has his own team of graduate students.
It can be said that every professor in the Department of Vehicle Engineering is now a field leader in the design team.
The associate professors, lecturers, teaching assistants and graduate students below them are members of related fields.
In the entire Capital Institute of Technology, the Department of Vehicle Engineering now has the largest number of professors.
If this trend continues, it is estimated that no major will be able to break this point.
Even many teachers from other related majors will continue to join the team of the Vehicle Engineering Department.
After all, in this department, there are obviously more opportunities than others.
“The school attaches great importance to the Balong 100 project and strongly supports it. Those who stay at the school to teach this year will be given priority in our project team.”
"In the future, new members will be added every year."
"At the same time, we can also hand over part of the design tasks to other universities, so that others can get a share of the pie."< br>
“This can reduce the difficulty of our development to the greatest extent, and at the same time, it can also attract more partners in promoting some policies and regulations.”
Zhu Jiansheng is now very concerned about management. Some of the techniques are considered very proficient.
Whether it is for himself or for his daughter and son-in-law, he can only move forward now and cannot retreat.
Fortunately, the path he has chosen now is a field he likes. He can produce some results every year and has a strong sense of personal accomplishment.
The most important thing is that the things he did have real benefits for the school and China.
This is actually very critical to motivating team morale.
Especially people of this era generally have a strong sense of family and country.
“After the news about our official approval of the Balong 100 project spreads, it is estimated that factories such as FAW, Second Automobile Works, Jinan Automobile Manufacturing Plant and Sichuan Automobile Manufacturing Plant will become anxious.”
"The era when they lived comfortably is gone forever."
Lai Yongfeng is very clear about the situation of the domestic truck industry.
Especially FAW, as a leading enterprise, has not come out with any particularly good new products for so many years. As a result, the gap between domestic truck technology and the international advanced level is getting wider and wider, which is really regrettable. .
Forget it that trucks have not become popular, cars have not become famous either.
Now we can only place our hopes on the joint venture factory with Audi, so that people will not be upset.
"Competition is a good thing. Both the First Machinery Department and the Fifth Machinery Department support it. We don't need to have any scruples."
"Besides, whether it is FAW or Second Automobile Works, they are so far away from us. The influence is very limited.”
“At most, they are unwilling to accept graduates from our school, but our people are not willing to go yet.”
For Zhu Jiansheng. , now I really don’t worry about other car manufacturers having any objections to Capital Institute of Technology.
They are a vice-ministerial university, and their level is no lower than others.
The key is that what we are doing now is a major matter that benefits the country and the people. Why should other factories have any objections?
