After more than 2000 years of trials and tribulations, the Silk Road has not only accumulated profound cultural heritage, but also formed a unique cultural landscape. As the first destination of this challenge to the top ten most beautiful self driving routes, it means that the general will cross the no man's land and challenge all terrain such as desert, mountain, shoal and Gobi. The complex extreme road conditions obviously set many obstacles for the general's pickup to explore the Silk Road. But this is also the best time to test the quality, safety and handling performance of the general in an all-round way.


Gravel sand sea, surging power


Driving in the desert and Gobi is not easy, although there are no green belts and zebra crossings. If you don't pay attention, you will fall into the ditch. In terms of power, the General Pickup is powered by Oukang 2.0T diesel power, which has inherited the century old Cummins power technology. The maximum power is 120kW and the peak torque is 390N · m. The transmission system is equipped with Centennial ZF 8AT transmission, Eaton differential lock and Borg Warner timely four-wheel drive system. Give full play to the best performance of the general pickup truck, even though the terrain is dangerous, it can not stop the surging core of the general pickup truck, and easily conquer the whole terrain. In addition, in order to better adapt to the road conditions, the pickup truck of the senior general was replaced with a front bar, a rear bar and a side bar, and chassis protection was added. The professional shock absorber and tires of the 24 section adjustable oil reducer of the Black Mamba were upgraded from 265 to 285. Steel covers and tents were added at the rear. At the same time, a wireless intercom system was added to meet the needs of camping and communication in the field. Whether it is dangerous shoals, gobi, gravel, desert can easily pass through, which has brought enough confidence for the general to conquer the northwest.

Extreme road conditions are a severe test for vehicle performance, and harsh environment and long-distance driving are also great challenges for drivers and passengers. This has a high demand on the comfort of the vehicle itself. The body size of the senior general is 5630 * 1980 * 1920mm, and the wheelbase is 3400mm. The spacious space does not feel fatigue even if you ride for a long time. The horizontal through embracing tridimensional cockpit can also reduce the fatigue of the driver and passengers, and significantly improve the comfort. In addition, the great general supported by black technology carries 10.25 inch high-definition suspended technology pad screen, loaded with the latest 4G Internet of Vehicles T-LINK system AI intelligent voice and other technology configurations, allowing drivers to enjoy the luxury car experience of the family car level. In addition to the internal temperament, the external aura of the general cannot be ignored. The appearance design highlights the tough guy temperament style. The beautiful PPT orange and WORD blue colors are painted on the body nearly 2 meters wide, making the general pickup more recognizable in the vast desert.




As solid as a rock, the security protection is impeccable


The solid body structure is also a top priority in the desert. The seemingly soft sand hides hard mud or "chicken coop pit", where vehicles will bump or even bounce up sharply. Ordinary off-road vehicles simply cannot withstand such a high intensity impact. The general pickup truck adopts a non load-bearing body structure, which is a typical hard off-road structure, so that it can maintain the integrity of the vehicle under the impact of high-strength body twisting or external forces. In addition, the large area of the large general pickup truck is made of high-strength steel plate, which meets the C-NCAP five-star collision standard. The latest Bosch 9.3 version ESP and ADAS intelligent driving assistance system give the general the confidence to drive his pickup truck all the way.



The most effective way to close the distance between the brand and the audience is to go deep into it and feel it personally. Based on years of experience with Chinese consumers, Futian Pickup has sown a seed of feelings beyond the test drive experience. While enjoying the beautiful scenery along the way, it also uses a more unique way of self driving to verify the hard core strength of General Pickup. The "China Silk Road Journey - the Most Beautiful 315" is about to start. Later, the pickup truck of the Grand General will continue to lead the team to march into such beautiful test drive areas as Duku Road, Xinzang Line, Grand Pirate, Ali Ring Road, Sichuan Yunnan Tibet, Alxa, Qaidam, Hainan Island, and let's look forward to more exciting!
