Chapter 3177: Veteran is not dead

Back then, in the 1950s and 1960s, Steyr Motors was planning to cooperate with other auto factories. However, after looking around, no auto factory could afford a small auto factory with an annual output of several thousand vehicles. Working with them, Steyr also gritted his teeth and decided to do it himself, so the 90 series came out.

Its classic cab has been retained until now. Compared with the previous cab, it is taller and has a large front windshield, especially the cab full of angular and slanted cabs. No matter where you go, you will be recognized at a glance. Coming out, it has become a distinctive feature of this car, coupled with the asymmetrical visor grille design on the front, and the few clearly visible STEYR characters on the right, all marking the arrival of the Steyr era.

As a modern truck, it has embarked on a modular road. Take the engine as an example, it includes the self-produced and designed WD614 inline 6-cylinder 8.1-liter engine, 6.6-liter Steyr WD612 engine and Steyr WD81512-liter engine. V8 diesel engine. From light to heavy, everything is available.

After the 90 series came out, the pursuit of high-end will not stop, followed by the newer 91 series heavy trucks. The appearance of the cab of this heavy truck has not changed much, but the sealing and heat insulation properties are enhanced. In terms of comfort, the new WD615 inline 6-cylinder 9.7-liter turbocharged inter-cooled diesel engine and the WD81512-liter V8 turbocharged diesel engine are also used.

Among them, the WD615 is definitely a classic among the classics. In that parallel time and space in Han, heavy trucks almost rely on this engine to make the world, and the self-developed engines in the future are also expanded and improved on this basis. of.

At that time, it was only in the 1970s, and Steyr heavy trucks were synchronized with other high-end heavy trucks in Europa. The 91 series of heavy trucks is quite advanced. It can form a perfect series by changing the wheelbase, drive form, vehicle suspension, dump models or special tractor models.

And Steyr’s last product is the 92 series. It is a medium-sized truck. The appearance retains the asymmetrical mask shape of the 91 series, but the cab has been redesigned, and there is no more angular mask. It looks more modern, because it is a medium truck, so it uses a WD612 inline 6-cylinder 6.6-liter diesel engine.

However, Steyr Automobile has come to the present. Because the scale of Steyr Automobile is not large after all, it only meets the domestic market, with an annual output of several thousand vehicles, plus the investment in research and development, which is almost a loss-making operation. Compared with Parallel Time and Space, there is no import from Han, so Steyr cars are struggling even more. Up to now, only sales are left.

If you don’t sell, you will only go bankrupt. If you go bankrupt, so many workers will probably lose their jobs.

"The production line here is too backward, and the production efficiency is very low." At this time, when inspecting the factory, Heribala was very serious, because once the acquisition is over, they will invest in the transformation. Now it seems, If you want to achieve the same standard as the northern heavy truck factory, it is estimated that it will pay a great price.

If someone else commented this way, then Alexander would definitely refute it. After all, they used to proudly sit on an equal footing with other heavy-duty truck factories, but now they are really outdated, especially compared to the heavy-duty truck factories in Han. Not one and a half.

The heavy-duty truck factory in Han State has 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. However, after the transformation, the production capacity should be increased a lot." Heri Bara said: "Without changing the existing plant, it should be able to increase the annual output to five. 10,000 vehicles."

From a level of 5,000 vehicles per year, it suddenly increased tenfold to 50,000 vehicles per year. When he heard this, even Alexander was stunned: "You mean, with yours Like auto factories, do they increase working hours? This is against our labor law. If they shift three shifts, they won’t work at night."

The Western world does not work overtime. This is definitely not just to pay for overtime. The time outside the eight-hour work system is your own. The company cannot force it to interfere. Otherwise, there will be union forces to interfere.

It is precisely because of this system that Western workers can also feel the beauty of life. At the same time, it also restricts the development of the West. When a country as a whole begins to pursue enjoyment, there will certainly not be much progress. At this time, Han Guo was constantly working overtime, realizing the system and surpassing.

It is absolutely impossible to say that the annual output is increased tenfold by only improving the process. It must be to extend the working time. This is Alexander's most direct idea, but his idea was immediately rejected.

"Of course not. Since we are here to investigate, we naturally know the laws and regulations here. We invest here because of the advantages of the geographical location." Sandra said: "Here, the cost of personnel Expenditure is the largest. If we can't dig out high enough production efficiency, it will inevitably be eliminated by the times. It is not impossible for us to use modern production technology to increase efficiency tenfold. Take this cab as an example. "

At this time, everyone has come to the production workshop of the cab. Sandra pointed to the welding workers and said: “The entire production line will be fully automated. The welding of various stamping parts, the electrophoresis and spraying of the entire cab will be It is automatic. Compared with the current manual welding, of course, it can greatly improve the efficiency. Moreover, the cab will be sturdy and durable. We have a saying in Han Dynasty that science and technology are the primary productive forces."

Sandra now considers ourselves Han, and yes, Sandra considers herself a pure Han.

"Here, it is too old. If it is not updated for ten years, it has been completely aging." Sandra sighed from the side.

Although in the sixty to seventy years, Steyr Motors has experienced a major development, and even jumped to the leading level of Europa in one fell swoop, but in ten years, they have been abandoned by the times without technological innovation. Sandra, a former employee of Steyr Motors, was deeply moved.

At the same time, Qin Guan was aside, feeling filled with emotion.

That's right, Steyr is already old, and he cannot stop his technical personality for a moment. As long as he stops, he will be surpassed. At the same time, if a company wants to develop, it must be bigger and keep bigger! Only by getting bigger can we not be abandoned by the times. Just sticking to our one-acre three-point land will not have a future.

Steyr is a veteran. The veteran will not die, but will slowly wither. The veteran will not die, but the spirit will last forever. The Steyr car will not completely die, but it will definitely wither. Only the northern heavy truck factory can inject fresh vitality into it to develop.
