auto-first|wang yi from chengdu

on august 30, the tank brand brought its tank 300, tank 400 gasoline version, tank 500 hi4-t black warrior, and tank 700 hi4-t to the chengdu auto show. tank made its debut at the chengdu auto show four years ago. four years later, tank returned with the love of 500,000 users, successfully activating the entire chinese off-road market, with a market share of over 50%, raising the domestic off-road market share to 83.1%.

at the press conference, tank brand executive vice general manager gu yukun said: "behind the 500,000 sales is tank's persistence and love for technology, the courage to break the monopoly of high-end off-road, large-displacement, and multi-gear overseas technology, and the confidence of great wall's category innovation.

as a pioneer and leader in off-road driving in china, the tank brand is well aware of the complexity of off-road conditions and has set up a research and development team of engineers specifically for off-road use scenarios, formulated global calibration standards, and established an off-road scenario database. in terms of research and development, gu yukun said that as of now, great wall motors has a research and development team of more than 17,000 people, and has built 6 international laboratories around the world, with 11 world-leading test verification capabilities, and a research and development system covering seven countries and ten locations.

in terms of calibration, tank brand products undergo more than 3,000 rigorous tests over nearly two years from r&d to market launch. in europe and asia, where temperatures are -35°c, tanks require both fuel and hi4-t models to be able to start at once. in the middle east, where temperatures are 50°c, tanks must climb long distances at a speed of 120km/h on a 16% slope.

the reason why tanks are so costly and put so much effort into research and development, testing and calibration is because the scenarios faced by off-road vehicles are extremely complex, and safety becomes an important consideration.

especially in terms of the four-wheel drive system, the tank has always adopted a non-decoupled four-wheel drive system. wei jianjun, chairman of great wall motors, has emphasized on many occasions that for off-road vehicles, it can be fast, but it must be able to be slow, and it must be able to achieve high torque output at low speeds, so that it can slowly get out of trouble at a slow speed. the non-decoupled four-wheel drive system can achieve effective linkage of the front and rear axle power, making the power transmission more stable and accurately controlling the power distribution of the four wheels. even if only one wheel has adhesion, it can release all the power of the vehicle and have a stronger ability to get out of trouble.

in terms of power forms, the tank brand has full power forms including ice, hev, phev, and has deployed multiple engine layouts such as 2.0t, 2.4t, 3.0t, as well as 2.0thi4-t and 3.0t hi4-t new energy power systems to meet the needs of different users around the world.

also unveiled along with the tank 400 gasoline version is the tank 500 hi4-t black warrior version, which was also created to meet user needs. as a highly customized, officially modified personalized product in the tank 500 series, the tank 500 hi4-t black warrior highlights the unique attributes of the product with a new blackened kit.

to date, the tank brand has more than 500,000 loyal users. in order to express gratitude to 500,000 global users for their support along the way, tank officially launched the brand night co-creation plan. tank will create a brand night with time, place, guests, and activity links completely co-created by users, so that every car owner who loves off-road can feel the warmth and strength from the tank brand, work together with users to unlock new off-road realms and achieve two-way travel.
