Chapter 264

Of course, there are many people who like the bigger the better, but that's only a small part. They still need to consider the needs of the mainstream market.

The power of the new engine is very strong, which is totally overqualified for the existing models, and it is unnecessary and infeasible to re-develop the larger models, so it can only be improved on the basis of the original model size.

Since the engine can drive a heavier body and provide sufficient power, he can develop a higher-end SUV with stronger performance and greater self weight on the basis of the existing chassis!

So after a lot of measurement and thinking, little Taylor finally decided to develop a heavy bulletproof vehicle based on the existing large SUV chassis!

Although Taylor automobile company is small in scale, don't forget that in addition to the production and sales of conventional pickups and SUVs, their other main business is to refit vehicles for various special purposes according to customer needs, in addition to the common RV, engineering vehicles and other special vehicles, including the refitting of bullet proof vehicles.

So Taylor automobile company has a lot of experience in bulletproof vehicle field.

Now, in addition to a small number of bulletproof versions launched by a limited number of automobile manufacturers, most bulletproof vehicles in the market are modified in later stage through modification plants, just like the bulletproof modification business carried out by Taylor company before.

Due to the complexity of bulletproof vehicles, the production and refitting time is much longer than that of ordinary vehicles, so whether it is directly purchased or later refitted, it will take a long time to deliver, so the supply of bulletproof vehicles in the whole automobile market is not much.

But the United States is a country that can legally hold guns. In recent years, there are frequent shootings. The demand for bulletproof cars is on the rise year by year. In addition, the delivery cycle of bulletproof cars is long, and there is a sense that the demand for bulletproof cars is more or less in short supply.

In addition, although there is competition in the field of bulletproof vehicles, there are only a few bulletproof vehicles on sale, and even the bulletproof modification factory will have some impact, but the overall competition is not so fierce, which is much stronger than their original ordinary pickup and SUV fields.

So little Taylor confidently started the research and development of bullet proof SUV.

However, the new engine that edicott finally developed did not have the strong performance far superior to that of the same kind of engine as he said. At most, it could only be said that it was different from that of the same kind of engine. Compared with the lower version Ford engine they purchased before, it was indeed better, but it was also very limited.

At first, if you only look at this engine alone, it's very good. This means that Tyler motor company finally has its own engine, no longer need to purchase from outside, the production cost will be greatly reduced, and the overall strength of the company will be greatly improved.

But when little Taylor planned to shut down the R & D department, in order to keep the money, idicott overstated the performance of the engine, resulting in the new model R & D plan of little Taylor with the fictitious "super engine" as the core, which was carried out with extremely high standards from the beginning.

The shell of the whole vehicle is composed of armor, ceramics, bulletproof glass, special alloy and bulletproof composite materials. The bulletproof level reaches vr7, which can effectively resist the attack of AK47 and grenades. At the same time, the 5.2m long large bulletproof cross-country vehicle weighs 3.5t, more than one ton than their original ordinary cross-country vehicle of the same size.

According to the original data from edicott, the new engine is enough to drive the heavy guy easily and maintain a very strong power.

However, the actual performance of this engine is far from that described by edicott, which makes the bulletproof off-road vehicle designed in full accordance with the engine data given by him become a Silver Pewter gun head with a handsome appearance and strong defense, but even the slope can't climb after the shrink engine is installed!

After the engine was just installed on the sample vehicle, most of the first driving tests were barely passed, but the overall performance was very average, the acceleration performance and limit speed performance were flat, far from the planned strong performance.

But in the subsequent climbing test, it completely exposed the disadvantage of insufficient power.

The off-road vehicle itself needs to have strong off-road ability. In addition to its strong defense, the bulletproof off-road vehicle must have the ability to evacuate quickly when attacked.

If a slope with a slightly larger angle is stopped, it is just a turtle shell. No one will spend an expensive price to buy a bulletproof car that can only be beaten in place, but can't take him away quickly.

Although this one is still excellent, it is far from a powerful new engine that can drive this heavy bulletproof off-road vehicle. At this time, it is too late to replace other engines.

At the beginning of the design stage, the car was designed according to the engine size and specification given by Addis Cotte. The engine compartment layout, clutch and transmission specifications and layout, transmission shaft layout, frame and load-bearing underbody layout and many other aspects of the design are closely related to the engine.If you replace other engines at this time, all of these designs will have to be pushed back, and half of the previous efforts are in vain.

The time and money needed to replace the engine, modify the design, and re develop the car is too much for Tyler.

In the past, we had put all our efforts to develop this bulletproof off-road vehicle. If it was developed as planned, it might be able to open up the situation and grow rapidly with this vehicle.

But at this time, Taylor company's working capital was almost exhausted, the special vehicle modification business was closed, and the car sales fell sharply, almost to the point where they could not make ends meet. At this time, they were not allowed to continue to spend time and money on new model modification.

The company is on the verge of bankruptcy!

This is full of little Taylor's ambition. He plans to expand the company's bulletproof SUV with one stroke, which ends in failure.

Now, the new model failed in R & D and the whole business collapsed. The car company, which was on the verge of bankruptcy, fell into the hands of Chen Mo along with the bullet proof SUV that failed in R & D.

Chen Mo naturally won't let the company that already belongs to him continue to decline. He wants money, money, technology and technology. What he has to do now is just to find a good development direction.
