The first stage: starting from scratch
From the way of designing and manufacturing vehicles, we generally divide military vehicles into two categories, one is civilian vehicles based on mass production, the other is vehicles modified for special military purposes, such as military transport vehicles and military light off-road vehicles, and the other is special vehicles designed and manufactured for military needs, such as armored vehicles. In the early days, due to the late start of China's automobile industry and weak independent research and development technology, we basically had no military vehicles ourselves. The most advanced means of transportation are trolleys, horses and donkeys. We can only rely on seizing military vehicles from the enemy.
Until the end of 1937, our army owned more than a dozen cars through gifts and self-purchase from friends at home and abroad, and formed our 1 automobile transport team. After more than ten years, China's military vehicles were mainly imported. Since 195 1, the state has imported more than 10000 military vehicles for the army every year. By the end of 1957, the total number of automobile equipment in the whole army had reached more than 92,000, of which more than 70% came from the Soviet Union.
The second stage: from import to independent production
It was not until1July 1956 13 that Changchun No.1 Automobile Factory was completed and put into operation that the history that China could not independently produce automobiles ended. 1957, faw trial-produced 2.5t 6×6 CA30 off-road vehicle and put it into small batch production, becoming the first military vehicle equipped with troops in China people's liberation army.
If we say that it was an imported model in the early days, then 1964 BJ-2 12, a military command light off-road model developed by Beijing Manufacturing Factory, is a military vehicle independently developed by China. This classic model has not been discontinued until today, but it is no longer in service in the army.
The third stage: from weak to strong
After entering the 2 1 century, China has always adhered to the independent innovation of military vehicle development and established our own military vehicle system. For example, FAW, as the "eldest son" of * * * and China, has successively developed the second generation military vehicle CA110J five-ton military transport vehicle, CA11J ten-ton military transport vehicle and other products. In 2004? The technology of CA 1 12 1J, CA 1093K2 has been upgraded, and the development of CA 1 122J has been completed. Related products are all equipped with troops in batches. In 2006, it took Dongfeng four and a half years to complete the 1.5t-class high-mobility military off-road vehicle-Dongfeng Warrior, which owned 100% independent intellectual property rights and 84 technical patents, and began to assemble troops in batches in 2007. In addition, a series of new domestic advanced military off-road vehicles, such as Beiqi Warrior and Xiaolong Automobile, also have the performance comparable to that of world-class military off-road vehicles, and also well demonstrate the spirit of the China People's Liberation Army.
Of course, in addition to the regulars of these military vehicles, there are also some new faces in the current military vehicles. For example, the ——T60, a pickup truck owned by SAIC· Chase Max, often wins heavyweight orders from the military.
Its MPV model G 10 was also used as a military parade command and support vehicle to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and participated in the grand military parade of China People's Liberation Army, showing the elegance of China brand cars.
China's military vehicles have experienced nearly a century of development, from scratch, from weak to strong. Looking back at the development history of this military vehicle is also the history of the country's comprehensive strength. Peaceful years are hard-won, so let's pay tribute to all the China People's Liberation Army and military vehicle R&D teams that have contributed to peaceful development!
