On March 15, Dongfeng Mengshi, a sub-brand of Dongfeng Off-road Vehicle Co., Ltd., released a detailed explanation of the MS-1 technology platform.
The MS-1 is an off-road technology platform newly built by Dongfeng Mengshi, a new product that balances off-road performance and comfort through the integration of military vehicle genes and cutting-edge passenger vehicle-grade technologies.
The MS-1 features the TPS-2 double wishbone independent suspension system for upgrades in off-road smoothness and average off-road driving speed, as well as a dual-loop electrohydraulic braking system that brings better braking performance and a shorter braking distance compared with a conventional pneumatic braking system. The back-up safety redundancy configuration greatly enhances braking safety.
The MS-1 features an electric control full-time AWD system, which enables all wheels to drive when the vehicle is in motion, improving trafficability while ensuring driving safety and stability. The system is equipped with dual-stage reduction drive axles, a high-end off-road dedicated limited-slip differential, and a full-time electric control chain-type transfer case, with four driving modes.
The MS-1 features a 20,000-ton, ultra-high-pressure, hydroformed monocoque frame with high strength and high precision for the first time, as well as a high-strength body structure.
The MS-1 also provides advanced features tailored for off-road driving. By equipping fuel heating and liquid heating devices, the vehicle can easily start in extremely cold environments below minus 41 degrees Celsius, wade up to 850mm, and drive in alpine, high-temperature, high-humidity, plateau and wading areas, and is suitable for various complex terrains.
Based on the MS-1 platform, the new MS600 civilian pickup truck has a gross weight of six tons, a load-bearing capacity of two tons, and a wheelbase flexibly covering 3.3 meters to 4.3 meters.
