Chapter 262 The New Model that Failed to Develop!
Although this company is not large in scale, it is still a regular automobile manufacturing company. All aspects of the system are very formal and strict. The research on new models is an absolute secret, and it is impossible to release specific design drawings and other materials. on a computer connected to the external network.
Therefore, even Jarvis cannot know the specific data and information of this new model.
Now that the boss asked, Anderson, director of the company's research and design department, immediately reported the research on the new model to Chen Mo.
According to the requirements of the former boss, Taylor Jr., after conducting research and analysis on the market, they determined that the new model does have strong market potential, so they soon started the research and development of the new model.
The general layout sketch design and styling design of the car concept design stage were completed quickly and smoothly entered the engineering design stage.
The arrangement of the engine, clutch and transmission, the arrangement of the drive shaft, the arrangement of the frame and the underbody, the arrangement of the front and rear suspensions, the arrangement of the brake system, the arrangement of the fuel tank, the spare tire and the luggage compartment, the arrangement of the air conditioner The overall layout plan and the design plan of the body shape and interior have been preliminarily completed.
However, in the engineering design stage of the detailed design of the complete vehicle, problems arose.
In the beginning, the engineering design stage also progressed smoothly. The general layout design, including the detailed chassis layout, interior layout, exterior layout and electrical layout, were completed quickly.
Body modeling data generation, interior and exterior trim engineering design, electrical engineering design, and chassis engineering design have also been carried out very smoothly, especially in terms of chassis design, the company's strongest strength, the design of transmission system, driving system, steering system and braking system Finish first.
But the most important power system, although the detailed layout of the engine compartment is also given, but the specific engine engineering design has not been completed. Relying on, the powerful new motive that should have been developed soon according to Eddycott's promise was not completed on time as he promised.
The research of the model is stuck in the engineering design stage.
It has not even entered the trial production and testing stage of the prototype car, let alone put it into mass production.
The explanation given by Eddycott is that the research on the new type of motivation has been basically completed, but the performance has not reached the estimate, and there should be a problem that they ignored.
However, this is also normal. The motivation system itself is very sophisticated and complex. A small problem is likely to cause a significant drop in the performance of the entire motivation. But the current problem should not be a big one. No accident, they can find it soon. There is a problem, and it is solved, but the research fund is not enough.
Little Taylor is now desperate. In order to conduct research on new models, he not only mobilized most of the company's working capital, but also suspended all special vehicle modification business, and car sales also began to decline sharply. Successfully developed a new model is His only way out now.
Therefore, he had to squeeze out some of the remaining funds and allocate it to Edith Cote's motivation research team.
After getting more research funds as desired, after a period of time, Eddy Cot really solved the problem of the new type of motive, and successfully trial-produced a more powerful motive than the one originally purchased from Ford.
I have to say that although Edith has a very poor character, he still has a strong technical ability, but this ability is not used by him to study the motivation, but to manipulate the progress of the study. deceive.
This new type of motivation can be said to be completely completed by a few people in his motivation research team, but they are only responsible for their own part of the work, and the final results are summarized in the hands of Edith Cote.
Due to the principle of technical confidentiality, specific research progress and technological breakthroughs will not be publicly announced, so other members of the team do not know the overall situation of motivation research except for the part they are responsible for.
No one would have thought that the "honest and dedicated" Edith would hide the results and deliberately slow down the research progress. Therefore, only Edith knew the real research situation of the whole motivation, and the entire research progress was completely controlled by him. in the hands of a person.
However, the matter is not over, or Taylor Jr. would not have sold the company.
After the successful development of this new motive, the new model immediately entered the trial production and experimental stage of the prototype.
But the problem arises here.
At the beginning, in order to dispel Little Taylor's conservative idea of closing down the research department and honestly living on his own, Eddie Cot deliberately exaggerated the performance of motivation and said it was extremely powerful.
Like everyone else in the company, he was bewitched by the honest, conscientious and conscientious image that Eddie Cotter had always created, and Taylor believed that the motivation research team's years of hard work had finally yielded great results.
Under the bewitchment of Eddie Cot, Little Taylor, who thought that there would be a "Class Motivation" soon, turned his negative and conservative attitude quickly, and he was full of confidence to create a model worthy of this "Class Motive". ”, fully wield its powerful performance, crushing other brands of “class cars”!
The Taylor Motor Company originally produced pickup trucks and SUVs, so the first thought of little Taylor was naturally a familiar field, where they have rich experience and accumulated a lot of technology.
If they had no experience in making sedans and sports cars that they had never built before, they would almost be starting from scratch, which would be too difficult and risky to think about.
The little Taylor who was inspired by this upcoming "Class Motive" doesn't plan to make a low-end car anymore. Since the performance of the Motive is strong enough, it can provide more powerful power, carry a larger and heavier body, and use it in their current car. Some models are completely wasteful, and there is absolutely no need for re-development of larger-sized models, regardless of the time and difficulty.
They originally made medium and large pickups and SUVs, and if they were bigger, they would become trucks, which did not meet their passenger car market positioning and customer needs.
After all, their large pickups and SUVs, with a length of more than five meters, are already the largest size in a normal passenger car. The full-size SUV itself is for the pursuit of spaciousness and comfort. This size is enough to meet this need. It doesn't make sense anymore.
No one wants to drive a behemoth like a big truck every day, it is too inconvenient.
