In 1930s, German enterprises began to develop military vehicles with all-wheel drive, which were divided into light, medium and heavy vehicles. In order to standardize the requirements for production enterprises, the German army unified training and logistics. The German military's requirements for all-wheel drive vehicles are simple: a solid chassis, the same front and rear wheel tracks and a differential lock.
HORCH 90 1 all-wheel-drive vehicle is recognized as the most suitable standard for German medium-sized vehicles. Horsey 90 1 chassis, pay attention to the fact that the spare tires on both sides of the car body center can rotate. Holsey Company was founded by August Horsey on 1899, and then left because of disagreement with the management of the company. After Augustine Horch left the company he founded, he founded Audi.
Horsey's limousine has Horsey's logo and four rings. Horsey and Audi both mean "listening", and we can see the connection established between them by their founders. 1934, Germany established the United Automobile Company, which consists of four companies: Hoshi, Audi, Rover and DKW.
The cars produced by these companies all have four rings. Later, three companies closed down, leaving only Audi. Now the Fourth Ring Road has become a unique symbol of Audi. Horsey 830R command car is very simple, there is no door. After Augustine Horc became the head of United Automobile Company, he engaged in the development of automobiles, and the design of military vehicles became the top priority.
Hoshi 830R is one of the first military vehicles mass-produced by United Automobile Company. Horsey 90 1 makes the Germans very satisfied. 1937, the first all-wheel drive military vehicle Horsey 90 1 was born. 1943, Hoshi 90 1 series stopped production, with a cumulative output of more than 30,000 vehicles.
Horsey 90 1 is produced by three enterprises. Horsey 90 1 is produced by Horsey, Rover and Opel. The car model produced by Horsey and Rover is 90 1, and the model produced by Opel is MPI. The difference between MPI and 90 1 is that it uses a six-cylinder engine with low power and 68 horsepower (2800 rpm).
Horsey 90 1 is equipped with 80 HP V8 horizontal valve engine with a cylinder volume of 3.5 liters. This kind of engine is similar to the engine on Horsey 930V car. Horsey 90 1 in the museum has a bullet hole. Horsey 90 1 is equipped with a four-speed gearbox with synchronizer, a two-stage transfer case, a lockable central differential and 6-volt electrical equipment.
Horsey 90 1 developed various improvements, was active in the battlefield and participated in almost all German battles. United Automobile Company produced various Horsey 90 1, including reconnaissance type and command type. Hoshi 90 1 is equipped with off-road tires, four-wheel drive and high ground clearance chassis, which has excellent off-road performance and can meet the needs of military vehicles.
Hoshi 90 1 can not only be modified into various special models, but also be used for towing weapons and equipment. Horsey 90 1 has become a precious antique car, and it is definitely more frequent to drive such a military vehicle to the riders' party than all kinds of Porsche and Ferrari.
