The strongest domestic pickup truck is coming! The new species of Great Wall Gun 6X6 has 3 axes, 6 drives and 5 locks.
At first, we should know about the 6X6 model through Mercedes-Benz G-Class 6X6 model, Land Rover Defender, Ford’s modified model, and pickup trucks such as outdoor extreme crossing and polar scientific research. However, this part of the domestic market is still blank, and it is difficult for you to see 6X6 models on the road; First, it is difficult to import into China because the size and emissions are not in compliance; In addition, the premium is too high and the C certificate cannot be opened.
This time, Great Wall Motor revealed the information of the first 6X6 super off-road platform in China for the first time, and prepared to bring real mass production to domestic consumers, with a blue brand and a more extreme off-road version of 6X6 new species, in order to give back to the expectations of more pickup truck lovers and off-road enthusiasts. At the same time, it also brought China’s first large-scale high-performance hybrid pickups based on the off-road super hybrid architecture-Shanhaipao PHEV and HEV, which focused on the two cores of "green" and "performance" and provided more "problem-solving ideas" for new energy pickups.
The Great Wall leads the era of intelligent new energy in pickup truck 4.0.
Since the beginning of this year, the auto market has picked up, pickup trucks have been lifted and consumers’ cognition of pickup trucks has changed. The demand for pickup trucks has been constantly stimulated, and the pickup truck market has shown an upward trend with promising prospects.
According to the official introduction, up to now, the cumulative global sales volume of Great Wall pickup trucks has exceeded 2 million, ranking first for 25 consecutive years. Great Wall Gun is the best-selling pickup truck brand in China, the first high-end pickup truck brand to exceed 400,000 units, and it has been listed in more than 50 countries on four continents. In the first quarter of this year, the domestic terminal market share of Great Wall pickup trucks exceeded 50%. For every two pickup trucks sold in China, one is Great Wall.
The development of pickup trucks in China has gone through several stages. First, the era of 1.0 tool trucks, pickup trucks are mainly freight tools; Followed by the 2.0 multi-purpose commercial era, pickup trucks are mainly commercial, taking into account household use; Once again, it is the 3.0 multi-purpose ride era, and pickup trucks are mainly multi-purpose and ride-oriented. Nowadays, under the background of energy transformation, international pickup trucks marching into new energy sources and full-scene experiential consumption transformation in which users actively participate in wealthy families, pickup trucks have officially entered the era of "4.0 full-scene intelligent new energy".
How did the Great Wall Gun 6X6 super cross-country new species come true?
China’s first 6X6 super off-road platform, which will be released soon, will be first applied by Great Wall Gun, filling the blank of 6X6 pickup truck category in China. It is understood that the Great Wall Gun 6X6 super off-road platform has three black technologies of "all terrain, super power and unlimited expansion".
Yu Jinsheng, CTO of the Great Wall Gun brand, said that the 6×6 super off-road platform of the Great Wall Gun is different from most foreign full-scale 6×6 technologies. Because most overseas models are 6×6 modification schemes made by well-known modification manufacturers, the 6×6 super off-road platform of Great Wall Gun is the original technology.
The 6X6 super off-road platform will realize the layout of "3-axis and 6-drive", and its biggest attraction is undoubtedly the technical aspect. Specifically:3-axisThat is to say, the overall wheelbase of the Great Wall Gun 6X6 model is 4288mm, creating a magnificent and powerful body with a length of nearly 6 meters and a width of 2.1 meters; Under the working conditions of cross-country axle and shell pit, the traction ability and roll control of 6×6 are greatly improved, the body swing amplitude is smaller and the stability is higher than that of four-wheel drive models; The three axes are mutually restrained, and snow, sand, mud and other road conditions are prone to sideslip, and the sideslip forces are mutually offset or reduced, so that the anti-sideslip ability and passing safety of the whole vehicle are greatly improved.
6 drive:The 6-wheel grounding area is increased by 50%, the powerful power is fully exerted, the traction coefficient of the whole vehicle is increased by 15-30%, and the vertical obstacle-crossing ability is greatly improved; Under the same conditions, the tire depression depth is reduced by 29%; The release of power enables the acceleration performance of the whole vehicle to be exerted, and the acceleration time of the whole vehicle is only 7.5 s; Sufficient power, larger ground contact area, smaller tire load and better stability control enable the 6×6 to cope with all-terrain road conditions calmly.
5 locks:The Great Wall Gun 6X6 model is equipped with Borg Warner TOD+Mlock intelligent transfer case, which can bear 1900N·m super torque. Standard rear axle differential lock, middle axle differential lock, middle and rear axle differential lock, transfer center differential lock and front axle differential lock, a total of 5 electronically controlled differential locks; 4 hauthoh mode can be switched freely through the mode knob. Four differential lock buttons and 6L buttons on the front and rear axles are independently arranged in the key area of the auxiliary instrument panel, so as to realize the most convenient operation for drivers. The random combination of multiple locks and the setting of expert mode provide great off-road fun for drivers and passengers, and the ability to get rid of difficulties is fully extended. He is a smart tough guy with off-road real kung fu and is not afraid of rough and bad road conditions.
In addition, the vehicle adopts a non-load-bearing frame with high torsional rigidity, which is matched with the front double wishbone independent suspension+middle/rear five-bar independent suspension and 33-inch oversized off-road tires to create a full-scene, all-terrain super off-road capability.
At the same time, the 6X6 super off-road platform can also be equipped with the Great Wall 3.0T super hybrid, electric, hydrogen and other super power. At the beginning of the design, the Great Wall Gun 6X6 super off-road platform can also perfectly match the pickup truck and SUV body, simultaneously develop the second-class chassis, expand multi-functional special-purpose vehicles and recreational vehicles, and realize the super-expansion of the whole ecology and create a new category of diversified vehicles. In addition, the first co-created model of Great Wall Gun 6×6 will control the body length within 6 meters, mainly considering the influence of N1 and N2 models, and meeting the needs of users for blue and green brands.
Powered by electricity, the hybrid version of Shanhai gun provides the optimal solution of new energy pickup truck.
Yu Jinsheng, CTO of Great Wall Gun brand, also revealed that the first step of new energy pickup will not be pure electric, but hybrid as the solution of new energy pickup at this stage. The Great Wall Gun will also adopt the strategy of energizing fuel with electricity, and build the first large-scale high-performance hybrid pickup truck in China based on the off-road super hybrid architecture, namely, the Shanhai Gun Long Life PHEV and the HEV model, so as to meet the demand of pickup truck users for "clean energy and high performance".
Thanks to the blessing of the off-road super hybrid architecture, the battery life PHEV of Shanhai artillery has three advantages: "parallel mode of engine and motor, highly intelligent energy management and safer all-terrain adaptability", which makes the PHEV of Shanhai artillery fast, clean and intelligent, and is suitable for some users with longer distance and lower frequency. The Shanhai cannon HEV will also be equipped with a 2.0T engine and a 9HAT transmission, with a comprehensive power of 255kW and a comprehensive torque of 648N·m, giving users a double experience of "better fuel consumption than diesel and comparable to 3.0T gasoline power". In urban and off-road scenes, it has unimaginable energy-saving performance and driving pleasure, stronger motivation to get out of trouble and longer cruising range.
In the era of "Pickup 4.0 Full Scene Intelligent New Energy", the Great Wall will once again fully lead the development of the industry. Relying on the "forest ecology" technology of the Great Wall, it has completed the flat, networked and decentralized whole industrial chain layout of new energy and intelligence, and made full efforts in the fields of hybrid, pure electric, hydrogen energy and other new energy power batteries. At the same time, in the fields of intelligent chassis, intelligent driving and intelligent cockpit, Great Wall has also accumulated profound intelligence and is committed to creating greener, smarter and safer products for users around the world. It is reported that in addition to the 6X6 co-creation model, PHEV and HEV, a number of high-value pickup products of Great Wall Gun will also be collectively unveiled at the Great Wall Gun booth in Hall 7.1 of the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show to be held on April 18th.
