Iveco's ups and downs
○ giovanni agnelli I
1July, 899 1 1 giovanni agnelli, who was born in a noble family, led a group of friends at that time and founded Fiat Automobile Company in Turin, Italy. 1900, fiat made its first car, and only 8 cars were produced by the end of the year. But these eight cars were sold quickly.
This also gave Giovanni Agnelli an idea, that is, relying on cars to revitalize Turin. Because the capital of Italy has moved from Turin to Rome.
Subsequently, giovanni agnelli lost no time in proposing a plan to produce a series of cars to revitalize Turin, which was supported and responded by many board members and friends. Subsequently, giovanni agnelli was unanimously elected by the board of directors as the general manager and became the representative of Fiat because of his outstanding business performance.
However, the subsequent World War II disrupted Fiat's development pace, because at the beginning of the war, Fiat suffered an unprecedented blow. Giovanni agnelli, the founder, died for some reason, which led to the collapse of Fiat Company in this period.

It was not until George W. giovanni agnelli appeared that Fiat got back on track. Fiat 1966 acquired UNIC, a French truck manufacturer, to expand the business of passenger cars and trucks. Three years later, Fiat acquired Lancia, a manufacturer of automobiles, trucks, buses and military vehicles.
1974, fiat continued to expand and acquired Lu Si deutz, a German manufacturer of buses, trucks and fire fighting equipment, and became a major shareholder. The following year, all the brands were merged to form the now familiar Iveco.
○ The first generation of Yi Tu Iveco Daily
After the establishment of Iveco, the first light commercial vehicle was manufactured daily at 1978, and the turbocharged diesel engine for heavy trucks was launched two years later. From then on, Iveco began to develop into commercial vehicles.
Iveco entered China.
In the 1970s, when China was still in a situation of "short weight and short weight", researchers in China were always looking for truck technology suitable for China. After a long investigation, they decided to introduce Steyr from Austria.
In this context, in 1983, in order to accelerate the increase of domestic car ownership, China leaders went to Italy for investigation and visit, and in the same year, Iveco announced its entry into China.
○ Photo Signing Ceremony between Nanjing Automobile Factory and Iveco
1985, the state general administration of materials completed the first technology introduction project of domestic commercial vehicles and introduced the latest iveco daily car at that time. In that year, the total investment of the Iveco project reached 145 billion yuan, which was the largest project in the Sino-Italian technical and economic cooperation plan in history.
The introduction of this project met the demand for special vehicles in domestic medical, electric power and engineering industries at that time, and indirectly promoted the development of these industries.
Daily uses the same girder chassis as trucks, so Daily can choose to be equipped with closed containers or fender containers. However, in order not to conflict with its own leap-forward series products, Nanjing Automobile Factory only developed two models: light passenger and closed container.
199 1 In August, the first domestic Iveco light bus rolled off the assembly line, which immediately set off an upsurge of vans and light buses in China, which also meant that the domestic commercial vehicle industry increased light buses and vans and became the originator of domestic vans.
○ Figure ○ The first generation of Iveco Daily in China
The first generation of Iveco, with a proud Chinese name, is equipped with a four-stroke diesel engine with a maximum output of 72 HP and a maximum torque of 147 Nm. Equipped with Iveco's own 5-speed gearbox. This configuration was enough for China at that time to meet the requirements of the working conditions at that time.
Iveco, as the pioneer of domestic light passengers, has created many firsts in China, such as introducing short-headed light passengers into China, diesel light passengers, introducing national emission standards for light passengers, and promoting the introduction of frontal collision regulations for light trucks in China. It is precisely because of these firsts that Iveco has gained a firm foothold in the domestic light passenger industry.
○tuè Nanjing Iveco was founded.
Iveco has developed rapidly in China. After success, Iveco accelerated its entry into the China market. On June 1996 and March 1 day, Iveco Automobile Company and Nanjing Automobile Group reached an agreement to establish a joint venture company with a total investment of 2.527 billion yuan. As a result, Nanjing Iveco Automobile Co., Ltd. was formally established.
○ Iveco Daily Second Generation Tu
After the establishment of Nanjing Iveco, it quickly launched the familiar second-generation daily newspaper without hesitation. Iveco not only contributes to commercial vehicles.
The Chinese name of the second generation daily newspaper is Turin, which is the most common model. Equipped with Sophie 2.8-liter * * rail supercharged diesel engine, the emission reaches Euro III standard. The maximum power is 92kW/3600rpm and the maximum torque is 285Nm/ 1800rpm. It was the most popular model in China at that time.
○ Iveco Daily Second Generation Tu
Iveco has indirectly promoted many domestic automobile industries. Not only that, Iveco is still silently playing the role of invisible hero.
1997, Hong Kong returned to the embrace of the motherland. Nanjing Iveco, as a vehicle of the troops stationed in Hong Kong, crossed the Luohu Bridge with the troops stationed in Hong Kong.
1999 Macao's return also witnessed its history as a means of transportation for troops stationed in Macao.
It also appeared in the front line of flood fighting and emergency rescue in 1998. As a special medical rescue vehicle at the forefront of fighting against SARS, it fought side by side with power engineering experts to fight against snowstorms. Iveco is almost everywhere, which also makes Iveco enter the sight of ordinary people.
Nanjing Iveco not only has a civilian version, but also a rare military version. Nj2046/2045, which was successfully developed after 2000, further promoted the by going up one flight of stairs, a vehicle of the People's Liberation Army.
Logistics for China has also started.
In the Millennium, China has entered the period of rapid development of automobiles, and the urban express logistics in China is still in its infancy, and there is no strict definition of logistics distribution vehicles in China. Therefore, the phenomenon of mixed loading of people and goods is very serious.
As the originator of domestic vans, Iveco did not sit idly by. According to the characteristics of European logistics distribution vehicles and domestic road conditions, Nanjing Iveco has introduced a logistics transport vehicle with separate front and rear compartments, which has solved the safety problem of people and goods transportation.
Subsequently, Nanjing Iveco turned its attention to the express logistics industry and took the lead in launching European standard logistics distribution vehicles. With its fully functional configuration, the integrated van has quickly become a model of mutual recognition among domestic large-scale logistics enterprises. Iveco also took the lead in occupying the car market in the transportation industry.
Lay the industry again but no longer brilliant.
20 17 April, Nanjing iveco launched a new generation of iveco ousheng. Its brand-new appearance design has brought the product research and development of light commercial vehicles into the development mode of "internal and external repair" and refreshed the new height of light commercial vehicle industry.
○ The third generation of Iveco Daily
Less than a year later, at 20 18, 1 1, Iveco upgraded a new generation of Iveco Osen 8AT version, setting an industry benchmark for light commercial vehicles in China.
As the latest generation model, this Iveco Ou Sheng is equipped with the same fully imported eight-speed automatic gearbox as Maserati, and Nanjing Iveco F 1E348 18 engine with maximum horsepower 146, which is one of the most cost-effective models at present.
However, with the gradual saturation of highway passenger transport and the constant emergence of competitors, Iveco, which once stood on the top of tall buildings, has long lost its position as an absolute monarch. With the rise of competitors, Iveco's market share is constantly occupied by competitors.
For the originator of a light commercial vehicle, it should not be its fate to rely on RV, a special market that is not popular in China.
Write it at the end
Since entering China for 30 years, Iveco has done a good job in products and services step by step, which not only created many firsts in the history of domestic light passengers, but also became synonymous with domestic light passengers, promoted the technological progress of domestic light commercial vehicles and made great contributions to the automobile industry in China.
Nowadays, in the face of fierce market competition, Iveco can only make changes and perhaps continue to write about its future. My brother expects a brand-new Iveco to appear in front of us as soon as possible.
