Chapter 3178: Improvement is the only way to survive

In fact, in China, Steyr began to improve after entering Han.
The comfort of the cab was also one of the first improvements. Although the original Steyr cab had a sleeper, it was too small. Therefore, the northern heavy truck factory widened the sleeper to provide drivers with a more comfortable environment.
This of course has something to do with the use environment. Europa is a small country, and domestic transportation is solved in almost one day. Therefore, it is only used during lunch breaks. In Han, the land is vast, and transportation takes several days at a time. Therefore, Han Guo has created a spacious sleeping berth, which is well received by customers. When using it, one drives and the other sleeps. At least two drivers are allowed in a car.
Later, in order to make the driver more comfortable, the roof of the cab was heightened, and the upper and lower sleepers were created. In case there is a queue when unloading, the two drivers have a place to sleep. The top two-sleeper has quickly become popular in Han, and the Steyr heavy truck has always kept the original cab, almost unchanged.
The cab, of course, is not only a modification of the sleeper, but also more aspects, such as safety, the new generation of Han Guo's cab has adopted a special squirrel cage structure, and the overall rear shift technology of the cab to increase the Survivability after a collision, a safe heavy truck, is welcomed by all drivers.
After visiting the factory, we can find that there has been almost no change in the past ten years. Sandra is deeply moved at this time.
The cab has not changed, and the engine has not changed much. It is still the original WD615 diesel engine. At the beginning, it may be said that this diesel engine is strong and durable, and has a good skin. However, the power is old and cannot be satisfied. The demand of users is growing day by day.
The high-horsepower is only the V8 engine, but it consumes too much fuel.
In that parallel time and space, Steyr began to come to an end in the 1990s. He was dismantled into many subsidiaries and sold continuously. The diesel engine company was finally split and sold, but fortunately he still survived. Going on, provide supporting engines for various enterprises and continue to use the waste heat.
After walking around, Sandra felt a little heavy.
"In the past few years, other mainstream heavy-duty truck manufacturers have continuously improved their technology, but Steyr's heavy-duty trucks have not improved much, so they have been gradually left behind." Sandra said to Alexander: "Now, to We only rely on us to save Steyr heavy trucks."
Rams on the side is also in a heavy mood at this time. After all, this company will be sold by them. After the sale, it has nothing to do with Steyr. For Steyr, it can be lightly packed. On the road, specializing in light weapons, but when a subsidiary was sold, there was still a sad feeling of death.
"If we merge, it will not only be a matter of increasing production, but also of improving quality." In the conference room, everyone entered the final topic. At this time, the sky outside was already dark.
Meetings in the dark have never been seen here. After all, it is already time to get off work. However, this kind of major event that determines the fate of Steyr heavy trucks, they all have an uneasy heart. They cannot Wait until tomorrow, otherwise tonight will definitely be a sleepless night. So, everyone sat in the conference room, listening to Sandra's introduction.
To increase production, only a certain scale can produce certain benefits. This is a well-known truth, but it is not what Steyr can achieve to achieve such a scale.
That requires a high amount of investment, the need to improve production equipment, and the use of so many robotic arms is all money.
"Steyr's existing products are outdated. If you want to compete in the market, you can only reproduce our northern heavy trucks." Since Sandra is very familiar with this place, Heriba at this time Pull did not speak, and let Sandra take charge of the negotiation.
The first thing to say is what happened after the acquisition, which is after all related to the survival of this auto company.
For them, this is also a very difficult fact to accept. In the past, Han Guo Automobile surveying and mapping imitated their Steyr heavy trucks. The original northern heavy trucks were almost exactly the same as the Steyr heavy trucks. They are still representatives of advanced technology, but now, they have fallen behind. The advanced party is Han, and they are already leading in this world.
"The power chain of Steyr heavy-duty trucks is completely old. The wheel reducer is suitable for heavy loads, but now we pay attention to long-distance and efficient logistics. This kind of rear axle is not suitable. Therefore, we must introduce our advanced The small speed ratio is just minus the rear axle." Sandra said in a strange order, saying from back to front.
The heavy-duty reducer is no longer suitable for the current high-speed logistics. This is how the technology advances.
"As for the transmission, it has now begun to gradually enter the era of automatic transmission, which can greatly reduce the driver's operating intensity, and it can also prepare for future automatic driving. Therefore, the new generation of transmission that we put into production here, It will be based on automatic transmissions."
In the transmission, cars have begun to gradually popularize automatic transmissions, but Europa is originally the birthplace of cars. Even an old lady here can easily and skillfully master the shifting operations of cars, so you don’t need to pay special attention to the transmission. Manual or automatic.
However, in heavy trucks, as the power continues to increase, there are more and more gears. The 12-speed gearbox has become standard. Facing the complex conditions in the mountainous area of ​​Europa, the 16-speed gearbox has even begun. It has gradually become a trend. At this time, the labor intensity of drivers becomes more and more intense.
Therefore, automatic transmission began to be gradually promoted under this situation. Of course, at the beginning, only Mercedes-Benz and Scania were doing it. However, the North Heavy Truck Factory, an emerging vehicle manufacturing force, has always been Grasping the pulse of the times, automatic transmissions have long been developed.
This type of automatic gearbox for heavy trucks is different from that of passenger cars. In fact, a set of electronically controlled operating mechanisms is added to the original gear shifting mechanism. The hardware is not complicated. The key is to adjust the program. Just like the same Aisin gearbox, the driving quality tuned out in different car factories is very different.
Over the years, the northern heavy truck factory has been constantly adjusting and summing up a large amount of data. The gear shifting has become more and more skilled, and now it can finally be used.
