Chapter 309: Domestic cars are fierce: Xuanwu Land Cruiser is launched
Time passed quickly and everything was proceeding in an orderly manner.
At the end of April, in Shanhai Automobile's production workshop, two production lines were operating at full capacity in three shifts, and each Xuanwu Land Cruiser rolled off the production line.
In the factory area, professional pallet trucks purchased by Shanhai Automobile are waiting. After these trucks come off the assembly line, they will be immediately taken to direct-operated stores across the country.
Now the daily production capacity of these two production lines has reached 600 units, and this production capacity is still being improved. By the end of May, the daily production capacity of these two production lines will reach 800 units, and the monthly production capacity will reach 2.4 units.
The monthly production capacity of 2.4 units would definitely be pitifully low if placed in China a few decades later. But in 1992, this production capacity was exaggerated.
You must know that Volkswagen, the most popular model in the city, has an annual production capacity of only tens of thousands of vehicles. Next year, Volkswagen's annual production capacity will reach [-] vehicles.
Now, with just these two production lines, Shanhai Automobile's monthly production capacity can reach 2.4 units, and its annual production capacity can reach 28.8 units. This production capacity is three times that of Volkswagen.
This is still the current production capacity. Shanhai Automobile's production lines are still under rapid construction, and various models are already being tested.
According to the plan, by the end of this year, the seven vehicles Shanhai Motors is testing will be finalized and mass-produced. By then, Shanhai Automobile will have finalized eight models.
And by next year, Shanhai Automobile will have more models. Because six of the seven cars currently tested are models of the Baihu brand, and their competitors are luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and Audi.
Next year, their body-changing vehicles will also be finalized, and the body-changing vehicles will be directly transferred to the Suzaku brand. By then, the prices of these models will drop, so there will be more models. Moreover, Shanhai Automobile currently has several relatively cheap cars under development, which are expected to be launched in the second half of next year. By then, the low prices will make more Chinese people affordable.
With more models, consumers have more choices. Although China is poor now, the supply of cars exceeds the demand. The Santana in Shanghai is now priced at more than [-] yuan, and the supply still exceeds the demand. This shows that there are still many rich people in the country.
Therefore, Shanhai Automobile's production capacity planning is also very radical. Five more production lines will be added before the end of this year. As a result, by the end of this year, Shanhai Automobile will have seven production lines, each with a maximum monthly production capacity of 1.2 units, seven production lines with a monthly production capacity of 8.4 units, and an annual production capacity of up to 100 million units.
This production capacity is quite terrifying. In the original time and space, the total production volume of Huaxia Automobile in 1992 had just exceeded 100 million units.
The employment generated by the production capacity of 100 million cars is very considerable. If upstream and downstream are included, one car can create almost three jobs.
The production capacity of 100 million vehicles can directly create three million jobs. Of course, these three million jobs are not all direct jobs, but involve the entire upstream and downstream sectors.
Including upstream industries such as steel, metallurgy, chemicals, coal, and electricity. The downstream industries include auto repair, insurance, petroleum and other industries.
If we talk about direct jobs, now Shanhai Automobile can provide almost 100 jobs due to the development of the entire industry chain, with a production capacity of 50 million vehicles.
These jobs include research and development, production, assembly and more. This is not limited to complete vehicles, but also various parts, such as various sensors, various wiring harnesses, even tires, glass, etc. Shanhai Automobile now produces them in-house.
There are tens of thousands of parts on a car, which requires too many things. There are now thousands of parts supporting factories under Shanhai Automobile.
50 employees, behind them are 50 families. This shows how important the automobile industry is. This is why developed countries vigorously develop the automobile industry because its ability to drive the economy and employment is too strong.
China is a supermarket, with annual sales of more than [-] million cars in the future. If this market can be eaten by Huaxia Automobile, it will bring [-] to [-] million jobs to the upstream and downstream industries. Sixty to seventy million jobs means sixty to seventy million families. This is so important.
Not only does it create jobs, it can also greatly boost the economy and tax revenue. This effect is huge. This is why China must also vigorously develop its automobile industry and why it must propose the route of exchanging market for technology.
Now, the beast of Shanhai Automobile is out of the cage, and now one company is going to take on all the other automobile companies in China. This courage and courage are unparalleled.
Even the world's giants would not dare to carry out such a radical production capacity planning because the risk is too great. But the reason why Shanhai Automobile dares to expand production capacity so radically is very simple, that is, they are extremely confident in their products.
Every worker is busy, every car comes off the production line, and Land Cruiser is about to be launched.
May 1992, 5, another Labor Day.
Magic City, the headquarters of the people in Magic City.
The Modu Automobile Factory is the pride of many Modu people. When it comes to Modu Volkswagen, many Modu people are proud of it.
Early in the morning, dozens of staff came to the Shanhai Automotive Magic City flagship store.
Everyone was wearing tailor-made uniforms, tidy up meticulously, and had a smile on their face.
They have been training for a long time, and today they are finally starting a new journey with high spirits. Xuanwu Land Cruiser will be officially launched this year.
In this store, there are already hundreds of existing cars. Now hundreds of cars are all cleaned up and look very domineering.
Currently, there are two versions of Xuanwu Land Cruiser.
One is the Land Cruiser 430 and the other is the Land Cruiser 480.
The power configuration of both cars is the same, both are equipped with Kuiniu V01 gasoline engine. This engine is a 4.0-liter V8 naturally aspirated engine with a maximum power of 295 horsepower.
Such power parameters are very impressive. Compare the power of the current Santana 2000 of Volkswagen. The power of the Santana 2000 is a 1.8-liter engine, which has only 95 horsepower.
The 2016 Land Cruiser of Toyota's original 4.0-liter V8 only had 275 horsepower. You can imagine the abnormality of Shanhai Motors' Kuiniu engine.
To put it bluntly, this Kuiniu engine will not need to be replaced for thirty years, and its technical content surpasses all models currently on the market.
This engine is not only powerful, but also exceptionally durable. Using 30 kilometers to pass the running-in period is quite vivid to describe the degree of durability.
Shanhai Automobile has the highest quality requirements and extremely high quality control requirements. As Shanhai Automobile's first car, quality is the best reputation. Xu Huasheng's request is very simple, that is, Shanhai Automobile must give people the impression of good quality in the future and do better than Toyota. Only in this way Shanhai Automobile Only then can one become a super giant.
