ZTE Visio 1949: The "Maverick" epoch-maker

A few days ago, China’s first full-size pickup truck, ZTE Visra 1949, was exposed in spy photos of the new car that is more commercial-oriented. In addition to the imposing "big guy", this car looks unique in every aspect compared with the traditional full-size pickup trucks such as Raptor, Tundra, and Dodge RAM: the diesel version 2.3T and the gasoline version 2.0TDI have low-displacement engines. , ultra-low fuel consumption of 8.4L for the diesel version and 11L for the gasoline version, one-third the price of an imported full-size pickup truck, and a low starting temperature of minus 20 degrees that can easily ignite... It can be said to be a comprehensive and good experience for users. The pioneer of a new era of pickup trucks in China.

More environmentally friendly low-displacement engines

ZTE Weishi 1949 is equipped with two 2.3T diesel and 2.0T gasoline engines jointly built by Renault and Nissan: Renault-Nissan 2.3T diesel power and Renault-Nissan The same platform as the Alaskan, Mercedes-Benz X250 and Nissan Navara and other international high-end pickup trucks has a peak torque of 380N·m, which can maintain an ultra-wide maximum torque output in the 1500-2750 speed range. The ultra-wide maximum torque output means better starting and acceleration. and off-road capabilities; the gasoline version is equipped with a 2.0GDI gasoline engine with a maximum torque of 360N·m, reaching the level of a traditional 3.5L naturally aspirated engine, achieving the optimal level of power, energy conservation and environmental protection. This is the only low-displacement powertrain on the market that can not only fulfill users’ dreams of a full-size pickup truck, but also meet the increasingly stringent domestic environmental protection policies and regulations.

Low fuel consumption that is less painful

The fuel consumption of "gas tiger" models such as the Raptor F150 and Toyota Tundra is often close to 20L per 100 kilometers. This is despite the continuous rise in oil prices. , which makes car owners often joke about "meat pain". However, the measured comprehensive fuel consumption of ZTE Weishi 1949 diesel version is only 8.4L per 100 kilometers, and the gasoline version is 11L. The fuel saving of more than half completely subverts the public's perception of the fuel consumption of full-size pickup trucks. Cognition.

It is understood that there are four reasons why the Wise 1949 is so fuel-efficient: 2.3T diesel engine diamond-like coating technology can reduce friction by 15%, variable displacement oil pump, high-pressure axle system, etc. Technology has greatly improved fuel efficiency; lightweight body design, the application of a large number of high-strength composite materials, magnesium-aluminum alloy front suspension, etc. make the body weight similar to the Maxus T90, Great Wall Cannon off-road version and other models that are far inferior in size; ZTE The software program jointly calibrated by the car and Delphi enables the vehicle's power to achieve the best economic matching and maximize fuel economy and strong power output characteristics; while the transmission, drive shaft and other system components are tailor-made to have smaller internal resistance and high transmission efficiency. , less energy transfer loss and further reduced fuel consumption.

More affordable full-size pickups

Muscle behemoths such as the Raptor F150, Dodge RAM, and Toyota Tundra cost six to seven hundred thousand, which discouraged many fans until the appearance of the Via 1949 , ordinary Chinese consumers finally have the opportunity to realize their dream of a full-size pickup truck: the price of this product of 155,900-209,900 yuan is only about one-third of the imported large pickup truck. The length, width and height are 5692mm (5393mm)*2045mm*1965mm. The cabin width is 1660mm and the height is 1210mm. It is comparable to the driving space of medium and large SUVs such as BMW X5, Mercedes-Benz GLE and Audi Q8. The cargo compartment size also reaches 1810mm (1530mm)*1700mm. *515mm, easily meets load-bearing requirements.

Not only is the size comparable to international full-size models, but many technological configurations such as steep hill descent control, hill-start assist, front and rear parking radars, forward collision warning, 360 panoramic images, and seat heating have reached the level of luxury SUVs. Compared with toys for a few people, affordable models are the real "dream cars" that suit the national conditions.

Lower starting temperatures are also applicable to plateaus

Because it is difficult to start in the low-temperature environment of the plateau, and the thin air will lead to insufficient combustion, resulting in black smoke and severe power failure in the vehicle. Due to losses and other situations, diesel pickup models are almost blank on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

But the Weishi 1949, which has lower ambient temperature requirements, will completely change this history.

A few days ago, this product underwent extreme testing for more than 40 days in Kunlun Pass, Lhasa, Hoh Xil and other places. Even if it was left standing for a day in an environment of minus 20 degrees, it still started easily, and the vehicle started and Performance such as hill climbing is also not affected. According to reports, through ZTE Automobile’s calibration for high-cold environments, when the car engine ECU detects this working environment, it will automatically adjust parameters based on the built-in calibration MAP to increase the starting torque and make the diesel in the cylinder burn more fully. It is more "powerful" when starting and the engine ignites smoothly. Such an improvement plan not only prevents the vehicle from being affected in plateau and cold areas, but also maintains the same level of fuel consumption per 100 kilometers as 8.4L in non-extreme environments. In the future, users on the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau will also be able to use diesel-powered pickup trucks with strong power and low fuel consumption.

The special feature of Weishi 1949 is not that it is different for the sake of being different, but that it contains the thoughtful consideration of domestic car needs by national enterprises. Guided by this feeling of serving the country and the people, I believe that ZTE Motors will continue to make breakthroughs and continue to create new eras of its own on the road of pickup trucks.
