Iran, as the birthplace of the ancient Persian empire, has had trade relations with our country for a long time, and has maintained friendly relations with our country in recent years. As one of the few countries in the Middle East with strong industrial production capacity, Iran is able to manufacture automobiles and has its own national brand.
During the Pahlavi dynasty, because of its pro-European stance, Iran’s auto industry was greatly influenced by Europe and the United States. Take trucks as examples: American Mark, German Benz, Swedish Volvo are all owned in Iran. Great sales.
After the new millennium, with the deterioration of the relations between Iran and Europe and the United States, the development of these truck brands in Iran was once restricted, which left huge room for the development of Chinese trucks in Iran, and the Iranian truck industry has China again. Imprint. Today, the author will introduce a few Iranian self-owned brand trucks to show you about Iran’s truck industry.
Amico M2631D truck
Amico brand belongs to Iranian commercial vehicle company Aras Khodro Diesel. As a family business, the company not only produces commercial vehicles, but also involves in the manufacturing of motorcycles and car batteries.
Amico M2631D truck is a dump truck. The appearance is composed of yellow, red and black, which is in line with the attributes of its engineering vehicles. Friends who are familiar with the shape of domestic three- and four-line trucks should be familiar with the appearance of this car.
Although this car is called Aras Khodro Diesel's own brand model, it is actually OEM from Hubei Qixing. The front face of the cab imitates the old-generation MAN TGA, and the cab body is modified from the Dongfeng EQ153 cab magic (the Dongfeng EQ153 cab is the imported Japanese Nissan Diesel CP series, this is a bit far away).
The combination of European and Japanese styles can be carried forward abroad. It has to be said that Hubei Qixing still has two brushes.
In terms of power, the car is equipped with a Weichai WD12 engine with a displacement of 11L, with a maximum horsepower of 336 horsepower that meets the Euro II emission standard. It is matched with Fuller's 9-speed gearbox. The rear axle is selected from Steyr's 13-ton bridge, and equipped with ZF steering system. The vehicle has a rated load of 15 tons and a maximum curb weight of 26 tons.
This is a set of domestic mature construction vehicle configuration more than ten years ago. This model will be launched in Iran in 2016. Although it has been eliminated in China, it will continue to shine in Iran. I believe that if quality control is done well, there should be good performance.
ARYA 2624LK truck
This model is produced by Iran khodro Diesel, a listed company with the largest car sales in Iran. It is also the partner of German Benz Trucks in Iran to assemble trucks for it, and Mercedes-Benz trucks assembled in history are also exported to our country.
China Truck (Sinotruk Howo) first landed in Iran in 2005 was represented by Iran khodro Diesel. Currently, Yutong Bus and Auman Trucks are cooperating with it.
ARYA 2624LK The shape of the truck is the essence of Chinese trucks. The front face of Sinotruk Howo is equipped with a Mercedes-Benz MP3 bumper, and the cab body is used heavily. Auto Howo.
Considering that ran khodro Diesel has cooperated with Mercedes-Benz and Sinotruk, this kind of styling that combines the best of each company should be regarded as an "innovation", at least the cost can be saved a lot.
This model is equipped with an 11L displacement 240 horsepower (maximum torque 820N.M) Mercedes-Benz engine, modelMeet the Euro II emission standard for OM355. Here is a saying that Mercedes-Benz is a bit unkind. This OM355 engine was introduced in the late 1960s and is an out-and-out classic machine.
is matched with ZF manual gearbox, and the steering system also uses ZF model 8098. The car has a rated load of 9.3 tons and a top speed of 88KM/H.
From the performance and configuration point of view, this car is positioned in the low-end market. Looking at the engine alone, it is typical to eat more and less dry. Fortunately, Iran is an oil-producing country and fuel consumption is not a problem. Iranian truck users value reliability more. Relying on ZF's gearbox and Mercedes-Benz engine, the stability of this model can be basically guaranteed.
Chapar Truck
This truck is the latest of the three models introduced today. It was witnessed by Iranian President Rouhani on January 1 this year. line. European and American countries have imposed economic sanctions on Iran because of the Iranian nuclear issue. Mercedes-Benz trucks were forced to withdraw from Iran in 2018.
And more than 80% of Iran's transportation relies on trucks. Trucks are very important to Iran's economy. Therefore, Chapar trucks were born under this background.
According to reports in Iran, the Chapar truck was developed with the help of Mercedes-Benz. It uses a Mercedes-Benz OM457 engine with a maximum horsepower of 354 horsepower (maximum torque 1850N.M ). It is matched with Mercedes-Benz G240-16 type gearbox, and the drive axle is also provided by Mercedes-Benz. Local Iranians call it "Iranian Actros".
But the strange thing is that this truck uses the DAF CF85 cab, and the front bumper is a copy of the previous generation Mercedes-Benz Axor. It's a bit messy, it may be the "good tradition" of Iran's truck industry.
At present, it is not known how this car will perform. As a "policy model", its mission is to solve the problem of Iran’s domestic demand for trucks and cannot be used by European and American trucks. neck. It has to be said that it is not easy for Mercedes-Benz to build trucks for Iran under various pressures. It is estimated that it is to lay the foundation for returning to Iran in the future.
However, Mercedes-Benz is a European company after all. If parts supply is cut off, Chapar truck production will still be restricted. Therefore, switching to the embrace of Chinese trucks is a pragmatic and reliable choice.
文端
Iran’s special national conditions have created its special truck industry. The three Iranian autonomous truck models cannot be called "cottages", use " "Patch together" may be more appropriate. It can be seen from this that Iran does not master the core ability to make trucks, and it is helpless to "patch things together". Their lack of ability is bound to be constrained by others, and Iran should have a deep understanding of this. (Text/Card Number: Small K)
