On the 71st anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, those great China cars were made in China.

Looking at the global automobile field, even people who don't know much about cars should be able to tell the world-famous OEMs such as Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen, Toyota and Ford. There is no doubt that these so-called time-honored brands are still at the leading level in terms of technology, design and heritage.

no matter who, from scratch, from the beginning to success, all need to go through a bumpy process. More than half of Mercedes-Benz's factories were blown up in the war, BMW once made a living by selling cookers, Audi was once on the verge of bankruptcy, and Toyota also took the imitation route in the early days. Looking back at our own brand, compared with those car companies with a history of 7, 8 or even more than 1 years, it is really much younger. But just like the rapid development of China, the speed of progress is visible to the naked eye. Although it is still groping on the way to catch up with the world's strong, it has also achieved many commendable achievements. On the occasion of the 71st anniversary of the founding of New China, let's take a look at those great China cars and those great China cars.

Speaking of China's powerful military strength

Speaking of China's automobile industry, first of all, it is inseparable from FAW, Second Automobile, Beiqi and Dongfeng. When it comes to these big factories, it is inseparable from China's military strength. Why do you say that? It will push the time back to the time when New China was just established.

in p>1949, the tenacious Chinese nation overcame all difficulties and ushered in our own highlight moment. However, everything remains to be done, and China at that time could not be compared with those industrial powers. Therefore, we can see that in the first military parade after the founding of New China, the weapons and equipment displayed were mainly captured, which can be said to be "made in all countries".

of course, of course, it's not without homemade equipment. Northeast China was the center of heavy industry in the country at that time, and many military factories were left behind after the defeat of the Kuomintang. Relying on these, such as rifles, light/heavy machine guns, grenades, mortars, etc., these basic equipment with low technical requirements can still be produced independently. However, tanks, armored units, heavy-duty vehicles, and airplanes were all acquired, including Japan, the United States, Britain, Germany, and of course, the big brother of the Soviet Union at that time.

after the founding of the people's Republic of China, our country began to implement the five-year plan, negotiated with our big brother, the Soviet Union, and introduced a series of national development projects, including industry, agriculture, vehicles and electronics, including many Soviet weapons and equipment. Therefore, during the National Day military parade in 1953-1955, more and more Soviet-style equipment became the main equipment of the People's Liberation Army. From light off-road vehicles to heavy vehicles, and then to Soviet T-series tanks, we have realized the localization of some equipment, which is a very remarkable achievement.

In the 196s and 197s, with the continuous efforts of many ancestors, all kinds of missiles, tanks, armored vehicles, airplanes, submarines, warships, even atomic bombs, hydrogen bombs, satellites, launch vehicles and other military industrial equipment blossomed, which greatly improved China's international status and gave us China people enough confidence. Think about this, the founding of the People's Republic of China has been completed in just over 2 years, and how great the Chinese nation is.

you may say that these things are available, but there is still a big gap with the advanced level abroad. Yes, it must be admitted that at that time, the new China was not ahead in economy or technology, but what we have to do is to ensure that we have everything abroad before we can talk about catching up. Therefore, some things, even if it is difficult to take time and effort again, must be made out, otherwise people will have no confidence in speaking with you.

From military strength to automobile production

After the 199s, our military equipment has been fully localized, which is also very valuable experience for automobile production. After 2, China's automobile industry has developed by leaps and bounds, and the production capacity and efficiency of military vehicles, trucks and family cars are steadily improving.

The p>7-year-old military parade in Daqing was a generation with 1 military flags of China Meritorious Forces? When the Dongfeng warrior slowly passed in front of Tiananmen Square, that sense of glory came to mind. Later, the new generation of warriors were upgraded to standard four-axis, long-axis four-wheel drive and standard six-wheel drive.

What's even more outstanding is Dongfeng's different types of rocket cars. The technical content of this multi-axis drive heavy vehicle has even surpassed that of traditional military powers such as the United States and Russia, while automobile powers such as Japan and Germany may not even have such equipment. In China, mass production has been carried out in batches and systematically. This is the so-called gap, and such a development speed is not surprising.

As for the military, in fact, many places are similar to our ordinary family cars. The military technology may be transferred to home or business, and the experience of making cars from our common family brands will also help the military.

For example, Li ONE's extended-range hybrid, in fact, similar technology has also been applied in the military, the most common one is the hybrid submarine. The difference between them is that Li ONE can be plugged in, while on a submarine, a diesel engine drives a generator+battery system. Such a diesel-electric extended-range hybrid submarine emphasizes not how fast the acceleration ability is and how good the maneuverability is, but silence.

Silence, one of which emphasizes the need to be quiet enough, and the other is lower heat generation, so as to avoid the detection of thermal imaging radar in actual combat and take it by surprise.

It seems a little far-fetched. Let's go back to our car brand in China. BYD Auto, even if it is placed among China automobile brands, started late, but at present, it is definitely the leader of new energy vehicles in China. The reason is very simple, BYD's forward-looking layout in electrification and its continuous efforts along this road.

Think about the new energy market in China a few years ago. Although all kinds of electric vehicles were launched by spurt, most of them only stayed in the cruising range of less than 2 kilometers, and BYD was the first brand to launch a car with a cruising range of 5 kilometers. ?

BYD's success in the field of new energy is obvious to all in the world. From the early leaders of Volkswagen and BYD to discuss the development of new energy vehicles, it became the only China automobile brand that exported new energy vehicles to Japan in large quantities. What does this mean? Japan is a car power that we are all familiar with, and BYD's K-series buses have shuttled through the streets of Japan several years ago, undertaking all kinds of passenger transport work in the city. Up to now, BYD's new energy buses have appeared in more countries around the world, and even its double-decker electric bus has become a new business card in London.

let's talk about great wall motor again. They started with pickup trucks in the early days, and it was SUVs that made the Great Wall bigger and stronger. In 22, the first SUV Saifu of Great Wall went on the market, which attracted great attention at that time, and its goal was directed at the fiery Mitsubishi Pajero. Three years later, the Harvard car series appeared in people's sight, and the durable quality of leather left a good impression on people. Until now, Haval H6 is still a sales myth of China brand SUV. At the same time, Great Wall SUVs and pickups are not only popular in China, but also loved by local people in many other countries. Even people in the Middle East who originally loved Toyota pickups have become fans of Great Wall pickups because they are as durable and cost-effective.

At the just-concluded Beijing Auto Show, a series of new cars of Great Wall brand earned enough attention. At the same time, the latest lemon platform and tank platform of the Great Wall show people the increasingly powerful independent research and development capabilities of China car companies.

in p>1997, Geely officially entered the automobile industry, and a year later, it launched its own Geely pride. However, the early Geely cars can only be described as "rough" in terms of technology and workmanship.

in addition to its own continuous efforts, Geely acquired Volvo passenger cars in 29. On the one hand, it mastered Volvo's technology and absorbed their experience and technology in building cars, on the other hand, it greatly improved the manufacturing technology and design level of new cars. After that, Geely successively "laid hands on" Lotus and Daimler, and then owned Mercedes-Benz smart. Through a series of operations, Geely has made great strides forward, absorbed the advanced ideas of foreign car companies and integrated them into its own car-making system, which has made them one of the best head forces among China brands.

In terms of design, UNI-T, a brand-new model released by Changan Automobile not long ago, is absolutely not lost to any foreign model. You can even describe it as a concept car that can be licensed normally. ?

BMW has its own "double kidneys" and its development has lasted for a hundred years. Audi has found its own "big mouth" and led the world trend, knowing that these two companies have been enterprises for more than a hundred years. And the development of our brand in China has actually been very fast.

Interested students can look at the photos of Changan Automobile in recent years. It may be a bit too much to describe the rapid change, but the progress has never stopped. Until the release of the polar concept car in 217, they finally found the direction of the family and have evolved to the present. The release of UNI-T has brought this family trend to the extreme.

finally, since it is the birthday of the motherland, how can we not mention the red flag? Although he experienced a high light moment and was forced to stop production at the same time, the son of * * * and the country seemed to wake up a lot after being silent for several years. It may also be that I don't want this national brand to continue to decline. In 212, FAW invested a lot of money to build a red flag exclusive team and started its own road to rejuvenation.

Today's Hongqi not only continues to provide exclusive top-level administrative vehicles for the central leaders, but also pays more and more attention to the civilian vehicle market, with the introduction of H5, H7, HS5, HS7 and pure electric vehicle E-HS3. In August 219, the Hongqi brand has completed the report card with monthly sales exceeding 1,, and achieved a cumulative sales increase of 231% year-on-year.

In p>22, the sudden epidemic caught everyone off guard, and all walks of life were greatly impacted. However, the war did not crush the Chinese nation, and the epidemic certainly will not, and neither will China brand cars. Under such circumstances, Hongqi brand bucked the trend and sold 39,5 vehicles in the first four months of the worst epidemic, up 111% year-on-year.

The red flag that made Chinese people proud is really back this time, and it is brighter than before.

written at the end

China automobile brand really started to develop in the 21st century. The wind and rain of 2 years did not crush our own brand. Although there were twists and turns along the way, the road under our feet became more and more clear. Up to now, many of our products can compete with joint venture brands.

There are still two months to go, and the bumpy 22 will be over. No country in the world can get out of the haze of the epidemic at such a fast speed and continue to develop rapidly like China. I believe that our China brand cars will not stop. The future will be better.
