Do you remember that there was once a car brand called Huizhong, their products are mainly civilian heavy-duty vehicles, and many cities in China have used Huizhong automobiles. Huizhong Automobile is a product of Shanghai Huizhong Automobile Manufacturing Co., Ltd., the earliest history of it can be traced back to 100 years ago, the British bus company parking lot founded in Shanghai in 1922, the name of the factory has changed several times over the years, in 1967 it was renamed Shanghai Truck Factory, and in 1979 it was renamed Shanghai Heavy Duty Truck Factory. In 1992, Shanghai Huizhong Automobile Manufacturing Company was established, which belongs to Shanghai Automobile Industry Corporation. The products produced by Huizhong Automobile and its predecessors have used the three brands of Transportation, Chase and Huizhong in different periods. Unfortunately, now Huizhong Automobile has stopped production, and Huizhong Automobile, which has been preserved so far, is even rarer.
This long-deactivated red three-bridge dump truck is a product produced by Shanghai Huizhong at the beginning of this century, although the overall situation is still intact, but some details have been changed from the original car.
The air filter ducts have been altered
The air filter is behind the right front wheel fenders
This model belongs to the SH3251/3252 series of heavy-duty dump trucks, which is another platform launched by Shanghai Huizhong after the Chase SH3250 equipped with the imitation Mitsubishi cab. It is a product produced by Shanghai Huizhong combined with its own situation, using the imported SsangYong heavy-duty truck production line to integrate the Steyr automobile technology commonly used in China at that time. The power is mainly based on the Shanghai locally produced Shangchai engine or the WD615 series diesel engine produced by Weichai and Hangfa, and some models use multiple models of diesel engines such as Shanghai Hino P11C or Chongqing Cummins M11. This appearance of the Huizhong Sanqiao 6×4 dump truck, equipped with more engine models, manufacturers can provide a power range of 260 horsepower to 355 horsepower, although the high-horsepower model is more powerful, but at that time the market is obviously more recognized about 280 horsepower models, the amount of ownership is relatively large.
The Huizhong truck on the picture is a product manufactured by Shanghai Huizhong purchased the Ssangyong SY truck production line in 2001, and the Ssangyong SY truck is a model released in 1993, which has also been introduced in China. At first, Huizhong did not modify much of the exterior design of the Ssangyong SY truck, but only changed the logo and body label. It is generally believed that the cab of the SsangYong SY truck is derived from the technology of the Mercedes-Benz SK truck, which is the result of the technical cooperation between SsangYong and Daimler-Benz in 1991. SsangYong SY modified the appearance of the cab to be more Japanese and Korean style on the basis of the Mercedes-Benz SK, the rearview mirror was changed to an outer swing mirror, and the position of the cab visor was increased to the speed light, which looked really beautiful. One thing is more interesting, whether it is Huizhong or Ssangyong SY, their cab door handles are horizontal, while the mercedes SK door handles are vertical, which is a less inconspicuous detail.
Mercedes SK window line is oblique door handle is vertical, Mercedes NG window line is flat door handle is horizontal.
The details of the fenders are also different from those of the Mercedes
Although Shanghai Huizhong introduced the SsangYong SY production line, it did not completely copy the design of SsangYong. The wheel of SsangYong SY is 8 bolts, and Huizhong's product has been changed to 10 bolts, which is one of the ways to distinguish Huizhong and Ssangyong from the side.
The drive axles used by different tonnage Huizhong trucks are also different, for example, the axle used in this car comes from the Hand wheel reduction bridge of Steyr technology. Although the "big traffic" SH361/SH3281 was indeed a very classic and durable product, it could not change the shortcomings of "empty cars are not running fast, heavy cars are dying", compared to the new car using SsangYong technology, it really raised the heavy truck products of Shanghai Huizhong to a new height.
Shanghai Huizhong later upgraded the products introduced and produced, and on December 14, 2005, it released the "Road Fleet" series of heavy-duty truck products. The "Road Fleet" is divided into the "Shark Series" using the new high-top two-bedroom cab and the "Wind Series" of the original flat-top cab, and there are different stickers on the body to identify. Shanghai Huizhong also showed the "Road Fleet" series of heavy truck products at the later Shanghai Auto Show, in comparison, although the "Shark Series" is indeed more comfortable, it seems that everyone still thinks that the "Wind Series" is more simple and good-looking.
Later models were labeled with series and horsepower on the left front of the front wheels
Despite their ambitions, Shanghai Huizhong's "Road Fleet" did not sail in the end. After 2010, Shanghai stopped the production of heavy-duty trucks and sold a large number of assets to Sinotruk, creating the Sinotruk Haohan series. Sinotruk Haohan has made two changes on shanghai Huizhong's products, and the second modification is obviously sharper, making it impossible to see at a glance that this cab originated from Mercedes-Benz. For the shape of the new Haohan, everyone really said what to say, some people jokingly said that "Haohan is playing with this cab out of the flower", the words can not help but make people nostalgic for the old Shanghai Huizhong truck.
The details of the Shanghai Huizhong dump truck model are not accurate enough, and the front axle should be made of 10 bolts.
Huizhong's carriage shape is basically the same as that of Ssangyong SY
But the model car is actually equipped with a Mercedes-Benz V8 engine
After the suspension of the production of Huizhong Istana, the trademark of Huizhong seems to be getting farther and farther away from us. Fortunately, SAIC Maxus is still developing with a good momentum, looking at the saic maxus driving on the street, will it arouse the feelings of friends about the "big traffic" and Huizhong trucks in the past?
