[Truck House Original] At the beginning of the founding of New China, a hundred wastes were waiting for prosperity. For the Chinese at that time, building a car was a beautiful but unattainable dream. Until July 13, 1956, my country's first car drove off the assembly line, that is, the Jiefang CA10 truck, which ended China's history of not being able to manufacture cars.
In the age of “holding the steering wheel and the county head does not change”, driving a Jiefang CA10 is a particularly beautiful thing, but this car is not so easy to drive, even It is called "same as driving a tank" with a smile, and it is precisely because of this that a large number of skilled old drivers have been trained.
Carry countless people's memories to relive the classic old liberation CA10
The real shot of this liberation CA10 is now in a scenic spot as an exhibit, although It has long since retired from the transportation industry, but the baptism of the years is still difficult to conceal its heroic posture. Jiefang CA10 is dubbed "Old Jiefang" by card friends. Many truck drivers born in the 70s and 80s have learned about cars from the Jiefang CA10. Start.
As we all know, the production process, plant, technology, etc. just after the establishment of Jiefang were aided by the Soviet Union. The prototype of Jiefang CA10 was also derived from the Soviet Union’s Gill 150 model with a classic long head design. The army green paint also brings many card friends back to their beautiful childhood in an instant.
The real shot may be a modified model of Jiefang CA10, so the logo on the big nose is also different from the original old Jiefang, and there is no Jiefang classic red label and eagle logo , Only left the two classic mao style words "liberation".
The front air intake grille of Jiefang CA10 series adopts 8 horizontal strip design, which is also the classic design of old cars. Both sides of the engine compartment are designed with 3 horizontal strips. Kong, on the right is the classic "First Automobile Manufacturing Plant".
The headlights are divided into one large and one small and are designed on the fenders on both sides. This is also the classic design of the old car. The real shot of this car is very old and has not been very much Good maintenance, so only the lamp holder is left, and the fenders are also rusty, leaving traces of time.
This old Jiefang uses a 4x2 drive form. It can be seen from the side that the chassis of the entire vehicle is relatively high, mainly because the domestic road conditions in the last century are relatively poor, and the chassis height can be guaranteed. It has better passability, but compared to modern models, the cab is very low and the space is relatively small.
Super simple interior design. The steering wheel is too classic.
Because the cab itself is not high, only one floor is designed. The pedals are relatively large in size, making it easy to get on and off the car, and it also has a non-slip design. The overall interior design is very simple, full of sense of the times.
In the era, trucks had no driving comfort and operating comfort at all. They were just a tool, so the configuration was very simple. There was no synchronizer or directional assistance in the old liberation. It is also difficult to operate. If the current post-90s drivers are allowed to drive, it is estimated that few people can drive all day.
The two-piece windshield is also a classic design of the first generation of old cars. It can be opened for ventilation, and this device is used to control the angle of the windshield. , Different card slots correspond to different amplitudes.
The hand-operated car window still exists in my country's commercial vehicles until now, but the handle of the first-generation hand-operated car window is full of industrial sense, very simple design, but very durable.
The seats used on the old Jiefang are all integral seats, which cannot move forwards and backwards, the backrest angle is fixed, and there is no wrapping. Now imagine that it is very uncomfortable to sit, but it was already a very luxurious configuration at that time. It is estimated that only 10,000 yuan households can afford leather seats.
The three-pair steering wheel is very thin. In order to increase friction, it is not easy to slip when driving. The first thing a new car does after arriving at the factory or home is to wrap the steering wheel with plastic. Until now, many card friends choose to do this after buying a car.
The old Jiefang's instrument panels are all round pointer instrument panels with white characters on a black background. They are vehicle speed, oil temperature, oil pressure, water temperature, current, etc., which are very convenient for the driver to check.
The fuel consumption per hundred kilometers is 29L. You can train the Kirin arm when driving. , The maximum power is only 90 horsepower, the maximum speed can reach 75km/h, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is about 29L. Although these data are not competitive among the current commercial vehicles, they represented the highest level of Chinese automobiles at that time.
matches a 5-speed manual gearbox. The gear lever of the gearbox is located below the right side of the steering wheel. Early vehicles did not have a clutch. In order to shift gears, you need to step on the two-foot clutch and shift gears. Step once when you are in gear, and again when you are in gear. In addition to the two-leg clutch, the addition and subtraction gears also pay attention to the cooperation of the accelerator and the clutch.
Because there is no synchronizer, the gearbox needs the speed to be close to make it easier to change gears. It is a test of the driver’s understanding and control of the speed, gears, and engine speed. Therefore, the old drivers who drove in that era had common skills Excellent, and a deeper understanding of vehicles.
In addition, the light and horn control buttons are also located under the feet next to the clutch pedal, which requires both feet to operate. This is much harder than the current manual gear. There will be an awkward situation when a card friend drives this car, "want to change gears but accidentally turn on the lights".
The horn switch design also has a problem under the feet. It will often get dirty and wet by the mud and water on the driver's feet. The failure rate is extremely high. Many drivers will use a hacksaw blade to tie the horn to the gear handle. Horn switch, this is also an early "small modification".
There may be card friends who think that all these operations are done with feet, and the arm will be easier? Then you are very wrong, there is no direction to help, you want to drive such a truck to make a turn, you need to be very hard, long-term driving will definitely develop a "kylin arm". After driving like this for a whole day, my arms and legs are very sore. Thinking about the current truck driver, it seems a little happier.
The chassis design is very simple, the fuel tank is arranged on the left, the air tank and the exhaust pipe are arranged on the right, and the rear axle tires are also designed with twin tires, which should also be used to lift the vehicle Bearing capacity.
Because the rear axle does not have any parameter identification, we cannot understand its specific parameters. The rear axle leaf spring uses a multi-piece design, and the number is really very large! There are 12 pieces in the lower half alone.
The entire chassis does not have too many wiring harnesses, and the brake cylinder is also simpler than the design on commercial vehicles today. I don’t know how effective it is? If there is an old driver who drove the old liberation before, you can show up in the comment area.
Editor's language
The old liberation CA10 has a pivotal position in the history of my country's automobile development. It is with this beginning that the rapid development of my country's automobile industry has occurred. For many old drivers, Lao Jiefang also carries the various beauty and freedom of the previous freight industry.Full of feelings.
Now such a "hero" is so devastated that people can't help but sigh. I also hope that relevant departments and staff can protect such old cars. After a few years, our children and grandchildren can also see the old liberation. More importantly, we can see the traces of generations of truckers struggling on the road.
