In the 1950s and 1960s, Steyr automobile planned to cooperate with other automobile factories. However, no automobile factory could look up to them, a small automobile factory with an annual output of thousands of vehicles, and did not cooperate with them at all. Therefore, Steyr automobile also clenched its teeth and decided to do it by itself. Therefore, the 90 series came out.
Its classic cab has been retained until now. Compared with the previous cab, it is taller and has a wide front windshield, especially the cab full of edges and corners. It will be recognized at a glance wherever it goes, which has become a significant feature of the car. In addition, the asymmetric mask grille design in front of it, Several large Steyr characters clearly visible on the right mark the arrival of Steyr's era.
As a modern truck, it has embarked on the road of modularization. Take the engine for example, it includes WD614 in-line 6-cylinder 8.1-liter engine, 6.6-liter Steyr wd612 engine and Steyr wd81512-liter V8 diesel engine. Everything from light to heavy.
After the 90 series came out, the pursuit of high-end will not stop. Then came the updated 91 series heavy truck. The cab shape of this heavy truck has not changed much, but it has enhanced the sealing and heat insulation and improved the comfort. In terms of the engine, The new WD615 in-line 6-cylinder 9.7l turbocharged intercooled diesel engine and wd81512l V8 turbocharged diesel engine are also used.
Among them, WD615 is definitely a classic among the classics. In the Han country with parallel time and space, heavy trucks almost rely on this engine to win the world. Later, self-developed engines are expanded and improved on this basis.
At that time, it was only in the 1970s, and Steyr heavy truck was synchronized with other high-end heavy trucks in Europe. This 91 series heavy truck is quite advanced. It can form a perfect series by changing the wheelbase, driving form, vehicle suspension, dump truck or special tractor.
The last product of Steyr company is the 92 series. It belongs to a medium-sized truck and retains the asymmetric mask shape of the 91 series. However, the cab has been redesigned. There is no inclined mask and looks more modern. Because it is a medium truck, it uses the wd612 in-line 6-cylinder 6.6l diesel engine.
However, Steyr automobile has come to the present. Because the scale of Steyr automobile is small after all, it only meets the domestic market, with an annual output of thousands of vehicles. Coupled with the investment in R & D, it is almost a loss operation. Compared with that parallel time and space, there is no import from China. Therefore, Steyr automobile is even more difficult. Up to now, it is only for sale.
If you don't sell, you'll have to go bankrupt. If you go bankrupt, I'm afraid so many workers will have to lose their jobs.
"The production line here is too backward and the production efficiency is very low." at this time, he ribala is very serious when investigating in the factory, because once they acquire it, they will invest in transformation. Now it seems that if they want to meet the same standard as the North heavy truck factory, they will pay a great price.
If it is someone else's evaluation, Alexander will certainly refute it. After all, they were proud to be on an equal footing with other heavy truck factories, but now they are really out of date, especially compared with the heavy truck factories in Han country.
The heavy truck factories in the Han Dynasty have fully realized computer management and used a large number of production robots, which they can't compare.
"We need to invest a huge amount of money to transform the production line, but after the transformation, the production capacity should be improved a lot." he ribala said: "without changing the existing plant, it should be able to increase to an annual output of 50000 vehicles."
From an annual output of 5000 vehicles, it suddenly increased ten times to an annual output of 50000 vehicles. When hearing this sentence, even Alexander was stunned: "do you mean to increase working hours like your automobile factory? This is against our labor law. If they work three shifts, they won't work at night."
The western world will not work overtime, which is definitely not just to pay overtime. The time outside the eight hour working system is their own. The company cannot force intervention, otherwise, there will be the power of the trade union to intervene.
It is precisely because of this system that western workers feel the beauty of life. At the same time, it also limits the development of the West. When a country as a whole begins to pursue enjoyment, there will not be much progress. At this time, the Han country is constantly working overtime to realize the system and surpass.
It is absolutely impossible to increase the annual output ten times only by improving the process. It must be to prolong the working hours. This is Alexander's most direct idea, but his idea was immediately rejected.
"Of course not. Since we want to visit here, we naturally know the laws and regulations here. We invest here because we see the advantages of the geographical location here." Sandra said: "Here, the cost of personnel is the largest. If we can't dig out enough high production efficiency, it will be eliminated by the times. It's not impossible for us to apply a large number of modern production technologies and improve the efficiency ten times. Take this cab for example."
At this time, everyone has come to the production workshop of the cab. Sandra points to the welding workers and says: "The whole production line will be fully automated. The welding of various stamping parts and the electrophoresis and spraying of the cab as a whole will be carried out automatically. Compared with the current manual welding, of course, it can greatly improve the efficiency, and the cab will be strong and durable. There is a saying in China that science and technology is the first productivity."
Sandra now thinks of herself as a Chinese. Yes, Sandra thinks of herself as a pure Chinese.
"It's too old here. If it hasn't been updated for ten years, it's completely aging," Sandra said with a sigh.
Although Steyr automobile experienced a great development in the 1960s and 1970s, and even jumped to the leading level in Europe, they have been abandoned by the times without technological innovation in ten years, which makes Sandra, the former employee of Steyr automobile company, have great emotion.
At the same time, Qin Guan was filled with emotion.
Yes, Steyr is old. He can't stop his technical personality for a moment. As long as he stops, he will be surpassed. At the same time, if an enterprise wants to develop, it is to be bigger and bigger constantly! Only when it is bigger, it will not be abandoned by the times. If it just sticks to its own one-third of an acre, there will be no future.
Steyr is a veteran. If a veteran does not die, he will only wither slowly. If a veteran does not die, his spirit will last forever. Steyr cars will not die completely, but they will definitely wither. Only the northern heavy truck factory can inject fresh vitality into it can it develop.
