Passengers choose Transit and freight choose Iveco joint venture brand light passengers, which are the two most well-known, but Iveco's sales have been losing ground, and the decline of 20 19 ranks among the "top three" in the bus sales list. The reason for the decline in sales volume is that the quality control level of products is generally not high, the price is artificially high, and the use value of non-loaded bodies is getting lower and lower. The reason is that minibuses modified by light passengers generally have small capacity and less cargo capacity than light trucks, but the price is very embarrassing. Let's take a look at the new Ou Sheng.
2020 (National ⑥ Standard) Ousheng
Guide price 14.99 ~ 236900, the engine is equipped with a 2.3T inline four-cylinder diesel engine, the maximum power is only 95kw( 129 HP), and the maximum torque is as low as 330n·m；; ; This power level is much worse than the mainstream 1.9T/2.0T light passenger car diesel engine. Large displacement and small torque have no other functions except fuel consumption, and only a 5MT gearbox is also a relatively low-level choice. As the core of the car, the technical standards and prices of the two assemblies are completely incompatible.
In terms of configuration, the whole system is only equipped with one airbag for the main driver. In the later stage of tire pressure monitoring, it will be standard according to the new regulations of production technical standards. The seat has no safety seat interface, and the active safety configuration system is not equipped with ESP body stability control system. In terms of comprehensive price, the configuration of Iveco can be said to be as low as the lowest standard in the industry. Of course, joint-venture brand light passenger cars are also very common, and the configuration is not as good as that of trucks with prices. So what are the advantages of this car under the premise that the power transmission level is low enough and the configuration level is actually lower?
The only advantage of Iveco Aosheng seems to be that it only has a non-loaded body, while the light passenger Aosheng does not have a four-wheel drive version, so the high-strength girder only has a load-bearing function, which means that the passenger version of this car is mixed with passengers and goods, and the freight version has a strong theoretical cargo carrying capacity. However, the rated load of light passenger modified cars will always be low, especially the passenger version is the difference between the total mass MINUS the kerb mass, and the heavy beam will actually make this difference smaller; Therefore, how high the practical value of Ousheng is can only be calculated according to the actual car demand. As a light passenger, Ou Sheng's position is awkward.
Advantages and disadvantages of Ford Transit in the new era
Note: The emission standard of the new era engine of the Transit belongs to the national ⑤, and this car should not be upgraded to the national ⑤, because the new model of the Transit has been downgraded to the national ⑤ version by replacing the domestic engine of Jiangling. Therefore, the new generation Transit has reached the season of bargain hunting, but whether it is worth copying still needs a comprehensive analysis of competing products of independent brands at the same level, but first, let's take a look at the advantages of this car compared with Ousheng.
1: The engine is a 2.2T diesel engine with a maximum power of 92kw( 125 HP) and a maximum torque of 350 N m (1500 ~ 2000 rpm). The displacement is slightly smaller than Auchan's, but the torque is 20N·m ahead. It seems that the technological advantage is undeniable. Secondly, the new generation Transit gearbox is 6-speed manual, and the speed control ability during high-speed cruising is absolutely not lost, and the two assemblies will win.
2: The body size provides three standards of 5.0/5.7/6.5 meters, and the selection is richer than that of Ousheng; At the same time, the body structure adopts load-bearing structure. Although the bearing capacity is slightly poor, the overall quality and rated load quality of the passenger and freight version are analyzed, and the structural strength of the car body is completely competent. Then a smaller cage can at least reduce fuel consumption without a non-loaded independent chassis.
3. The new generation Transit rear axle adopts the gradual leaf spring, which is the so-called Hodgsky suspension; This kind of suspension has the combination of steel plate and spiral spring shock absorber, which realizes ideal comfort experience through ordinary shock absorber system when passengers are under light load and effective support through steel plate when they are under heavy load. Secondly, there are two groups of steel plate combinations with large stiffness differences to distinguish the suspension hardness of passenger and freight transportation, so as to improve the driving comfort experience.
Summary: The contrast between the two cars is obviously that Transit is more like a light passenger in the new era, and Iveco Osheng is more like the shell of a truck and a light passenger. However, because the carrying capacity is limited by the characteristics of the vehicle type, the practical value of this light passenger or van modified is always very low, and whether to choose the value depends only on the price. However, if you plan to use light passengers as light passengers, it is recommended to choose a new generation of Transit.
However, judging from the price of Transit16.45 ~ 24.150,000, combined with its engine technology and configuration, the cost performance of such a joint venture is extremely low; It is suggested to compare the automatic version of 6AMT/6AT of Datong V90. The diesel 2.0T engine is matched with two automatic gearboxes, with good quality performance and obviously leading power configuration. The era of joint venture light passengers is over. The three brands with a very large drop in passenger cars are Iveco, Jiangling Ford Transit and Renault Brilliance, while the continuous growth is all independent brands. Most users who blindly believe in joint venture cars really don't understand cars.
