Chapter 384 Truck Market
Independent closed cab, separate car and bucket, pneumatic tires.
With a square front and a rectangular body, it looks very much like the "deadly muck truck" of later generations, which was nicknamed "Huang Xuanfeng". '
The car in front of me may be its twin brother, 'Blue Tornado. '
Never mind what it's called, it looks cool anyway, and the hydraulic suspension technology has also been applied to the body to give it a longer life for its self-dumping feature.
Equipped with a powerful 6-cylinder diesel engine, steel wheels,
Personal test drive is Li Zitao's favorite link.
Although he has never driven a big car before, it doesn't look difficult to drive a big car in this era.
And he is the boss, so it doesn't matter if something goes wrong.
But after he almost crashed into his private plane with the 'Blue Tornado', he temporarily gave up this idea.
"It looks good. What's the maximum load?" After handing over the keys to the professional driver, Li Zitao and Oliver walked to the office side by side.
"3 tons is enough for the light truck market." Oliver is very satisfied with this product, and the market they are targeting is light trucks.
The focus is on transportation between towns and cities, and special chassis for public transport vehicles can also be provided.
"This success provides us with valuable data and experience. Next, PACCAR will officially enter the multi-purpose truck market, including light, medium and heavy duty." Oliver is very active in the new project he is in charge of.
With the gradual expansion of the business, as the deputy director, he has gained greater authority and is in charge of the company's multi-purpose transport vehicles.
"Who is our main competitor?" Li Zitao wanted to know who their 'enemy' was.
This world is like this, the cake is there, although it will grow bigger and bigger, but the people who want to eat it will always grow faster than it.
When someone enters the field, someone will leave the field. It is not too much to regard them as "imaginary enemies".
"Volvo, they have a strong presence in light and medium trucks, and Scania, one of the best truck manufacturers in Europe,
Or it is appropriate to describe it as a giant. In 1929, their sales were 230 million, accounting for almost 60% of the market.
And, of course, the dazzling Mercedes, which are always quick. "
Volvo is known for its solid and stable performance, while Scania represents professionalism, comprehensiveness, and more missions for trucks.
Such as garbage collection trucks, snow plows, dump trucks, etc.
Mercedes, no one can ignore this dazzling star.
The first brand to apply the internal combustion engine in the automotive field, its name will surely go down in history.
Hearing that Oliver has set his sights on the international market, although Li Zitao was very pleased, he still had to remind him: "The first thing we want to open is the local market."
"Oh, boss, you are right. Our biggest competitor in North America is Ford, and the others are not to be feared." Oliver said boldly and confidently.
Although Cadillac has formed a truck research and development team, they are moving too slowly. By the time their models are developed and appear, they have already entered the market.
"Very well, Ford." The giants of the twentieth century, who would live on for a century, were undoubtedly true behemoths at this time.
"If you want to compete with Ford, it seems that you need to work harder." Although the opponent is a giant in the automotive field, Li Zitao is not afraid at all.
Because he believes that the pioneering technology with high expectations will never let him down.
"Of course, we are working hard for this. We will also introduce the fuel and diesel dual-purpose smart engines that Volvo uses on new trucks.
Although it is not as powerful as a single diesel compression engine, it is better able to deal with the complexities of difficult roads and long-distance transportation-"
It seems that the failure of the BMW 309 allowed Pioneer to focus on Paika's truck series.
After research by Aegis Motors,
They clearly found that during the Great Depression, sales of cars plummeted, but the market for trucks grew steadily.
Cadillac also discovered this, but the good performance achieved in the sedan caused fierce disputes within the company, so it was delayed for a long time.
However, Aegis Motors does not have such troubles. The company is very young, and the employees are full of vigor, because there are not too many interests, and there are no clear factions inside.
Moreover, they have three different brands under their name, Aegis, BMW, and Paika, as well as strong logistical support, Pioneer Technology.
It also gives them a head start when it comes to getting into trucks.
And people often say, one step first, step by step first.
The more saturated the market, the higher the price for latecomers to join, and now Pekka has to enter first.
"It seems that you are doing a good job, keep working hard." All development is on track, finances are supervised by a think tank, and an external third-party agency will be hired to conduct accounting at the end of the year.
So Li Zitao only needs to grasp the general direction, let the plane return to Chicago first, and Li Zitao arrives at the QD winery again.
Production plants have grown in size, and no one is asking whether brewing is a crime during this difficult season.
Everyone needs a drink on a cold winter night, which will give a little solace to the cold heart.
The premise is not to be so blatant, at least not to run around in the street with a wine bottle in broad daylight.
"Boss, we have now expanded to the world, and the next step is to build branch factories in Europe, Asia, Africa and other places—"
QD is now like a wind-up bull, working hard to carve out a bloody path in the market, causing all obstacles in the way to be smashed.
Miller and Alexander are full of longing for the future, and confidently want to make a big effort to make QD an international brand.
"You did a good job." Looking at Alexander in front of him, Li Zitao couldn't help but recall the scene when we met for the first time.
The youthful youth at the time is now a successful man in suits and leather shoes.
At the banquet, he attracted much attention. His skill of bartending can attract the screams of countless beauties, and he also talked about a girlfriend with a good family background.
"It's so big." Mingming is only two or three years younger, but Li Zitao looks like an elder, ruffling his opponent's hair old-fashionedly.
"Boss, I'm an adult." Alexander smoothed his hair with a wry smile.
"Okay, I forgot, did you talk about yours?" Li Zitao asked in a low voice as he approached him.
"What? Of course... well, I still have work waiting for me, let's talk about it later..." Li Zitao smiled happily as he watched Alexander stagger away in a panic.
