My Italian: Chapter 450 Radical Fiat B-Type
This order, which was purchased by Italy on a loan from Japan, gave the Italian industry a small boost.
Of course, the order brought by the loan will certainly not last too long, and the promotion effect on Italian industry will not be too high.
But in any case, the 300 million orders will definitely make the Italian industry much better.
Of course, there is one thing to note. The officers and soldiers sent by Japan and Russia to receive warships need to be separated. And this is what Italy does very well. Russian warships are built in Genoa, while Japanese warships are built in Venice, Naples, and Taranto. Unless the two parties deliberately find fault, it is impossible for them to intersect together.
Of course, the orders from Japan and Russia will only boost Italy temporarily, and a better way is to rely on the development and expansion of the domestic industry itself. In this regard, the emerging automobile industry has done a good job. Fiat Automobile Company, the current world leader in the automobile industry, has not given up on the research and development of automobiles after ensuring that Fiat's automobiles are in the leading position in the world.
In this new year, in addition to continuing to sell the popular A-type cars, Fiat is also introducing new ones. On the basis of the A-type cars, Fiat has come up with a B-type car solution. Compared with the humble Model A, the Model B is much better, at least it doesn't look so humble. Moreover, the B-type car also adopted a large number of new technologies, such as vanadium steel, electronic lighters and many other new technologies.
Among so many new technologies, the most worth mentioning is the electronic lighter, which is still the biggest selling point of the B-type car. The pioneer of this technology was the American Fabio Henry, the first president of the American Academy of Sciences, who invented many good things. For example, the relay in the telegraph was invented by this big guy.
Of course, since it is a pioneer, this shows that it is not practical enough, and Fiat and the Marino Electric Power Research Institute have jointly developed a practical electronic lighter.
The reason why I think this electronic lighter is the most noteworthy new technology is that it is too dangerous because of the bulky hand crank. According to the statistics of Fiat Automobile, in the past year, there were as many as 106 accidents caused by hand crank ignition. Most of these accidents were small accidents that caused minor injuries, but this was enough for Fiat to pay attention to.
After all, the car they sell is a means of transportation, and they don't want their customers to be hurt by starting the car. Moreover, every injury caused by a Fiat car will be widely reported, and the reason is self-evident. However, in the face of such a situation, while Fiat uses the media to defend itself, it is natural to develop new technologies to improve certain shortcomings.
The electronic lighter was born in this environment. Since its birth, Fiat executives headed by Giovanni Agnelli have placed high hopes on it. Because this simplifies the difficulty of starting the car. It used to take a long time to start, but now it only needs a slight twist. Such a convenient way makes car driving safer, easier and more convenient, and is especially favored by a large number of new consumer groups including women.
In addition, in order to make women interested in the B-type car, Fiat has designed its appearance softer. Compared with the large number of right-angled A-type cars, its appearance is not one or two points higher.
Of course, its price must be much higher than the A-type car. Compared with the 3,400 lire A-type car, the B-type car is priced at 4,400 lire, and the price is a thousand lire higher.
Even if the price is a thousand lire higher, Fiat is still full of confidence. On the one hand, this model is very good. The Model B's 28-horsepower engine was more powerful than the Model A's 20-horsepower engine. And even with four people and 200 kilograms of luggage and other goods, it can run at a speed of 75 kilometers per hour.
It needs to be explained here, because the sales of Fiat cars have caused the car ownership in various countries to rise sharply, and at the same time, the accidents caused by cars are also increasing. As a result, various countries have successively issued traffic laws and regulations to regulate car driving.
Of course, in addition to regulating driving, many cities have begun to consider re-altering roads. After all, the previous roads were basically horse-drawn carriages, and neither the width nor the load-bearing capacity could be compared with cars.
In this regard, Turin has given priority to setting an example. The Turin City Government has carried out road reconstruction in the city, requiring that basic roads must ensure a minimum of two-way two-lane traffic, while key roads must have a minimum of two-way four-lane traffic. Considering two-way six-lane roads, the above-mentioned roads should preferably be paved with asphalt roads. In addition to the roads, the city of Turin has also set up more than 800 parking spaces throughout the city. Basically, it solves the biggest problem of getting on the road and parking the car.
And Turin also has its own thoughts in doing so. Turin is currently known as the world's automobile capital, all thanks to the support of Fiat Automobile Company. In view of the increasing international business, Fiat Automobile Company has considered building the B-type car factory in Genoa. After all, it is close to the sea, so it is very convenient for import and export. And Genoa is also very willing to set up a factory here for Fiat.
However, the intentional discussion between Lang Youqing and his concubine went to waste because of Turin's intervention. In the final analysis, it is the reason why the two cities attach great importance to Fiat. Genoa itself has a large number of companies, so it would be best for Fiat to come, if not to express a regret.
As for Turin, apart from the Turin military factory, other industries in Turin, originally the capital of the Savoy dynasty, were actually not outstanding. Chocolate production was good, so Fiat was much more important to Turin.
So in the end, Fiat's B-type car factory still chose to start production in Turin~www.mtlnovel.com~ For the B-type car, Fiat is very confident, and it has built a large factory with an annual production capacity of 60,000 vehicles.
That's right, the production of Fiat's B-type cars will not affect the continued production of A-type cars. Of course, some new technologies can also be used after slightly improving the A-type cars.
After all, there is a certain price difference between the two, which will not affect the sales of the two models too much.
In fact, within Fiat, the views on the two cars are the same, and they belong to the market-expanding models.
Although there are capitalists in other countries who are trying to imitate Fiat's industrial production, they are not enough to pose a threat to Fiat for at least two or three years. At present, the automobile market is basically monopolized by Fiat. Of course, after a few years, when competitors appear, the market share will definitely drop sharply, but Fiat, which now monopolizes the dividend, is still very good at taking advantage of the market expansion.
After all, cars need a lot of things, such as steel, wood, leather, rubber, paint, etc., so the production of cars really has a huge role in the development of Italian industry.
