特种车中军用越野车占有很大比例,欧美商用车巨头(如Volvo、B.C.、Paccar、MAN、IVECO等)无不把军用越野车的产品开发和市场拓展放在一个重要的位置。近年来,随着货车市场的脆弱,商用车制造商对军车订货的追逐与竞争日趋激烈。英国国防部对军用轮式越野车系列更新的订货计划,早已引起货车产业界的密切关注,2002年经过近3个月来令有关制造商心烦意乱的激烈竞争,已初步有了一些眉目。据英国一些媒体最近的头条新闻报道,Paccar集团旗下的英国Leyland公司被确定为首选制造供应商。从本文介绍的英国国防部更新军用轮式越野车项目的计划要求中,可以看到现有陆用轮式运载平台已不能满足高技术条件下的现代战争的需要,也可以看到近年来民用货车技术的快速发展及其影响。随着英军全系列更新越野车计划的开始,有可能引起全球性的反应,在货车平缓暗淡的市场前景中,对货车工业不啻是一剂强心剂。这也是为什么军用越野车的技术发展和市场需求,能引起国内外货车界普遍关注的原因。 Military off-road vehicles in special vehicles account for a large proportion, and European and American commercial vehicle giants (such as Volvo, B.C., Paccar, MAN, IVECO, etc.) are all placing an important position on the development and market expansion of military off-road vehicles. In recent years, with the fragility of the truck market, the chase and competition of commercial vehicle manufacturers for ordering military vehicles has become increasingly fierce. The British Ministry of Defense’s ordering plan for the military wheeled off-road vehicle series has long attracted close attention of the truck industry. After nearly three months in 2002, the fierce competition that caused the manufacturers to be distracted has taken a preliminary look. According to recent headlines in some British media, Lexland, a British company owned by the Paccar Group, has been identified as the preferred manufacturing supplier. From the plan requirements of the UK Ministry of Defense to update the military wheeled off-road vehicle project, we can see that the existing land-based wheeled vehicle platform can no longer meet the needs of modern warfare under high-tech conditions, and can also be seen in civilian use in recent years. The rapid development of freight train technology and its impact. With the start of the British Army’s full-range update of the off-road vehicle program, it may cause a global reaction. In the light of the smooth and gloomy market outlook for trucks, it is an intrepid agent for the truck industry. This is the reason why the technical development and market demand of military SUVs can cause the cause of widespread concern at home and abroad.
