Countercurrent 1982

Chapter 331 212 Jeep
In fact, Duan Yun could have left the Daxing Automobile Factory the next day, but in consideration of the inspection and acceptance of the equipment after the overhaul, Duan Yun planned to stay in the Automobile Factory for another day.

In Duan Yun's view, the workers in the new production line of the automobile factory lacked strict training and their work style was not rigorous enough, which led to the forced shutdown of the equipment after a short period of operation. In fact, this kind of thing is completely avoidable.

Nowadays, what is lacking in China is not only technical equipment, but also skilled workers who can skillfully operate high-tech equipment.

When Duan Yun worked as a translator for German engineers before, he learned that the failure rate of this production line is very low when it is running in their factory, and they usually have very strict machine maintenance procedures. The second-hand production lines imported from the United States are still in good condition after decades of use, which is undoubtedly worthy of reference for domestic manufacturers.

In the morning of the next day, Duan Yun handed over the simple maintenance manual and maintenance procedures for the equipment written yesterday to Director Li. When talking about the details and importance of operation and maintenance, Mr. Wang took out his notebook and recorded them carefully.

Seeing that the repaired equipment was operating normally, Duan Yun had completed the task, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

After coming out of the workshop, Director Li and Chief Engineer Wang also looked much more relaxed. As long as the production line equipment can resume operation, the sky will not fall.

As for staff training and establishing a maintenance system for equipment, just follow Duan Yun's suggestion and arrange a special person to be in charge of watching it.

The three of them were in a good mood, so Director Li and Chief Engineer Wang led Duan Yun around the factory.

When he walked to the small convoy next to the office building of the factory, Duan Yun saw several cars in the small courtyard, basically all light cars produced by Daxing Automobile Factory, and the drivers of several car shifts were cleaning the cars.

Today, the light cars produced by Daxing Automobile Factory basically adopt the technology of SL Lada and Volga Auto 60s. The technology is backward, the performance of the car is not high, and it is quite fuel-intensive.

But even so, there are basically no private cars in China in this era, and the products of Daxing Automobile Factory are all used by government departments as public cars.

But when Duan Yun saw the two cars located in the innermost part of the carport, his eyes froze for a moment.

It turned out that these two cars were the 212 jeeps that Duan Yun often saw in his childhood!
In fact, from the 90s when Duan Yun went to school to 2000, 212 jeeps were often seen on the road. Well, that's a pretty cool thing to do.

"These are all cars produced by our factory. Some of them have been discontinued. The supply of new models in China is in short supply, and some of them have been sold to BJ." Factory manager Li Xiu said proudly after seeing Duan Yun staring at the garage.

"Not bad." Duan Yun nodded after hearing the words, and then said: "Can I see these cars?"

"Of course!" Li Xiu frowned, and said with a smile: "Xiao Duan, you are welcome to come to our factory, you can also treat this place as your second home, and you can come to play whenever you want in the future."

Li Xiu is really grateful to Duan Yun. Some time ago, the equipment of the new production line was forced to stop. While Li Xiu was grateful for the small maintenance manual, he also admired Duan Yun's superb skills even more.

Although he failed to transfer Duan Yun to his own factory this time, the matter was resolved satisfactorily. As long as Duan Yun is willing to come and help frequently, he no longer has to worry about any problems in the new production line, so Li Xiu is so polite to Duan Yun. It is also a natural thing.

Afterwards, the three of them walked into the trolley class together.

Several car cleaning drivers greeted the factory manager enthusiastically when they saw the factory manager coming, while Duan Yun went straight to the two 212 jeeps parked in the corner of the garage.

Although Duan Yun has seen many high-end cars at home and abroad in later generations, Duan Yun still likes the simple and tough models like 212 Jeep very much.

"This car is not a product of your factory." Duan Yun patted the hood of one of the 212 Jeeps, turned around and said to Director Li with a smile.

"This is assembled in our factory." Li Xiu replied.

"Assembled in your factory?" Duan Yun was taken aback when he heard this.

"Hehe, it's like this..." Li Xiu explained to Duan Yun.

It turned out that this 212 Jeep was assembled by Daxing Automobile Factory itself.

After talking with Director Li, Duan Yun knew the origin of these two 212 jeeps.

Due to the deteriorating relations between China and the Soviet Union in the 60s, the Soviet Union stopped the import of GAZ 69 military off-road vehicles. The country urgently needed an alternative model to meet the needs of combat readiness. In January 1961, BAIC had just completed the development of the "Dongfanghong" car. For the trial production work, the General Staff, the National Defense Science and Technology Commission, and the First Machinery Department assigned the task of developing a light off-road vehicle for military command to BJ Automobile Factory. Based on the "Dongfanghong" sedan, BAIC rebuilt the body, transfer case, and front axle. Design and trial-produce the BJ Jeep 1 prototype in June of the same year.The body appearance of this model is borrowed from the American Willys series off-road vehicles.The steering wheel, transmission, and transfer case use the design of the Soviet GAZ 6.By April 210, more than 69 BJ1963 light off-road vehicles had been trial-produced.

The front seats of the Jeep 212 cannot be adjusted, and the windows are push-pull. In particular, the rear window of this car is very small, only about the size of an A4 paper, and it is basically useless when reversing.In addition, the car has two fuel tanks, one spare fuel tank is under the co-pilot's seat; the other is in the trunk.In terms of power, the engine of this car uses a 492 engine with a maximum power of 64 kilowatts and a maximum torque of 173 Nm.The gearbox has only 4 gears, three forward and one reverse.

The annual output of BJ Jeep is 5000 vehicles.In the era of planned economy, BJ jeeps depended entirely on distributed supply. In localities, the supply of BJ jeeps was in short supply. Therefore, various places bought "unplanned" important components such as engine gearboxes and hand-made "BJ jeeps" by themselves. After a period of time , Various 212 jeeps of different brands appeared on the road.

In the 70s, 212 jeeps were extremely popular. Daxing Automobile Factory was also "entrusted" to assemble more than a dozen imitation 212 jeeps with the engines purchased by the factory, most of which have been sold to some related households, and the remaining The two cars I bought have been kept in the garage for nearly ten years, and they are rarely used. After all, it is a bit inappropriate for the leaders of the car factory to drive this kind of 'cottage car' instead of the factory's car.
