Post subject: | Bellett Story from Akira Watanabe's blog |
I don't now if this is a repost or not, I found this from Mr.Akira Watanabe's blog. He is one of Japanese person who knows well about Isuzu Motor Corp in US. This is his profile page : http://www10.ocn.ne.jp/~awjuno/sub4e.html He said that in 1984-1988 he is Member of the Board, of Isuzu Motors Co. Inc,Director in charge of R&D of light duty vehicles and in 1988-1991 President, Isuzu Technical Center of America Inc. He writes about Bellett, maybe some of you can help to translate it. http://www10.ocn.ne.jp/~awjuno/sub631.html Attachment:

The authors have been familiar with classical music from childhood, but which caused the excitement intense Bach, Mozart is great with Beethoven speaking composer is music of Beethoven. Of previous Beethoven, Raku these three itself is to compare the St. meaningless thing. However, the sound was Beethoven resonate in the theater audience into the world appeared at that time must have been surprised at the things nobody never heard of until now perhaps. Is it no matter what? It is said that he himself said that after the suffering joy to feel our point is different from the music of Bach and Mozart and. I was involved in large-scale development in 1951 joined Isuzu Motors Limited, was involved in the development of the car for 45 years. During this time, small truck, RV, car, engine and major equipment. The last music of Beethoven is the only resounded in the hearts positively and remember the design of the Vered of age my youth even in 1990, participated in the development of the GEO Storm vehicle jointly developed vision with GM. Of these. Vered was said many revolutionary enthusiasts, I am delighted to know that is up to you to mouth the name of the author Vered, people who have been considerable as a favorite car was folded. Youth also were overcome suffering without stiffness is a work could not be if there is no youthful passion say reckless, also irreverent considering now, is it let me do a job like this ranged from those days. Also a big mistake , not only say was due to the strength in particular. Isuzu Bellett is in the passenger car, was the car was the only other to imitate completely eliminate, the pursuit of the ideal. The car was born with a sense of driving did not experience until now nobody For this reason, there were many drawbacks. But merit is greater than the disadvantages. Since 40 years have passed now, to describe your experience of development before, consider the background and environment like this car was born. One is that a lot of excellent human resources in the mid-1955 until after World War II gathered from car companies. After World War II Isuzu., Nissan, major companies vehicles like Toyota and scholars aviation technology has been transferred into a department vehicle technology, but had the automotive engineers of many before the war, Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation, Prince, and Fuji Heavy Industries has been turned into a car by pulling the same excellent mover technology manufacturer. Society of Automotive Engineers of Japan after the war quickly, which was founded in 1947 and. Automotive engineers had a temperament that commitment inquiring mind to new technologies, new products distinctive from that time. this age thing about developing technology for passenger cars that precedent does not have yet, from the highest standards now is the era must start from scratch all, the boss made me do the work freely trust the people thinking freely. Speaking of bad techie in heaven, the world was the absence of management. Development efforts passenger car in the world is the motorization of Japan proceeds, and will be also started exporting abroad becomes gradually changed completely. In 1965, making the car from this time the following model of Bellett, but was Florian has become market driven. Point principle. 100 80 so-called principle point where we were born is to take 100 points for all items is not impossible, somewhere always comes into weakness. Was one of the climate of the time not target principle No. 2 state-of-the-art technology in the world. Japanese TQC is the idea of manufacturing such a result, Japanese (but. Say there was a uniquely Japanese concept of quality and quality and charm of course). To pursue the obvious quality, aiming for uniform uniformity was to enhance the international competitiveness of the automotive industry. Led the development engineers gave birth to the age of Vered has undergone a demise that is. . Was by far the world's best American automobile industry in Japan in the 1980s there is a revival product differentiation, the development of high-tech products made in the 1980s But again speaking with Isuzu, Furoan, Asuka is the principle vehicle of 80 points , 117 coupe, Piattsua, Gemini is a car kun flow of individuality sect. Globalization of technology principle purebred so-called ends and become age. 1,980 made by the introduction of foreign technology from the ability of passenger car sales of Isuzu, according to the results of choosing the car with individuality. Unlike the development of Vered also Piazza also 117 But are important, and I think Isuzu this trend was more pronounced in particular. |

When did you start in earnest the development of Vered in May 1960, I was appointed to the chief clerk under Mr. Mizusawa passenger car design department. Before that. Under the chief Hotta stone registration, had been working on the design of the suspension finished the design of the transmission of Vered and chassis design other Resona. Have mastered the design technology of independent suspension front wheel of Bereru Division mechanism design the suspension of the author encounter with the design, the committee of the authors Mr. Okubo at the time that has absorbed the knowledge from the outside. This is also a lot is that it has joined as a member to the Technical Committee the spring of the Society of Automotive Engineers and the length of the professor, passage of the University of Tokyo after joining Technical Committee spring. I think is from was decided to attend the meeting, if there is no such opportunities, and was not able to participate in the design of Vered the author does not stop research just, Professor Watari is automobile companies participating The prototype of the spring piece for large buses with no cases in the world aimed at improving ride quality proposed by, went to test ride. Isuzu bus Isuzu in bad road, such as route Kusatsu at that time in collaboration with the Railways during this of all leaf spring suspension system of heavy-duty truck was blessed with many opportunities to receive technical guidance for structural strength and vibration engineering Railway Technical Research Institute Mr. Matsudaira length, from Mr. Kunieda measures involved in the project broken leaf spring. by this experience was supposed to be in charge of the design of one hand. Ito, Director of Research at the time, understanding will also Mr. Okubo此design. was able to engage in research on semi-active suspension in the United States MIT was a further six months of 1955 the heavy responsibility that the vehicle responsible for the development of the finishing period between the release from the trial after returning home. that could not be realized unless I get admitted to leave the workplace by half a year, he joined the design group of the newly developed eight-ton truck TD given. That was fortunate enough to be left after the chief Shigeru Inoue was also boss is此. there was this thing is immeasurable effectiveness there is a preparatory stage prior to the development of two important Vered now. One is a suspension Seminar meeting. Over 30 of the development department, including those directly related to non-30, leading to new employees from deputy director took part in was a half year period. The meeting was held on overtime hours. Research at the time of the suspension was the hottest theme of engineers in the automotive industry. Was able to understand the concept sharing center say roll, axle steer, reverse steer, and move, such as for example an in-weighted techniques such as non-experimental research design for this result. Although the following was most used car was purchased by the bold decision of the vehicle reference Vered, director of research development of Ito. From the circumstances of the time, VW Beetle, Renault Dauphin, Morris 1100, Morris Minor, DKW, Triumph, other domestic front-wheel drive such as car, rear-wheel drive, had been covering the method suspension various FF, FR, RR, coil, leaf spring and torsion bar. These are not only been subjected to the test simply, design, research . over chief clerk is allowed to use to commute to work in shifts, was driven with the feel of driving the author from the Director of Research, Ito, "You are now however.'d like to do the engine when after joining the company, was assigned to the vehicle design and was told "do his design technology have delayed the development of vehicle technology than the engine. Look to witness the passion average shown in the development Vered of Mr. Ito our grave, I felt keenly that this word was serious. at the time the department experimental research is brainpower, such as Kiraboshi than the design department was. The doctor is our engineer, class of scholars. Diving veteran who also was under the car engineer Unlike universities, laboratories, and oil to hand over is not an exaggeration. Although the technical level and has evolved far more at that time, the era of techie heaven, such as at the time did not come back again and even after the development of Vered. |

Vered development was announced to the press June 17, 38, started in 1959. Passenger cars. Fujisawa Plant began operation in January 1962 is the construction cost of yen 23 billion has already been turned on, was more than 15 billion yen capital of the Isuzu at the time, of 20,000 units per month in accordance with light-duty trucks Bereru after ended in a slump is only sold slightly taxi equipped with a diesel engine was a factory. originally had been produced (published November 1961) Bereru passenger car first and Isuzu Hillman. Vered development have been organized in a corporate environment like this is Obotsukanaku the recovery of money selling the shop 30 dealer passenger car models revival business small car Isuzu, has been deployed across the country Fujisawa plant is idled if unpopular is Vered yellowtail . because it was a project multiplied by the fate of companies like this, overlooks with determination serious until the new employees from the president, development can be said. was a series of mortal combat during the whole Toyota, Nissan Bluebird, corona around this time had established a dominant share in the success of, due to its competitiveness abroad. was fierce competition technology with sales competition, lighter power performance high-speed, stable performance high-speed, vehicle weight is important. with the goal of the highest level of world-class technology also Vered. Four-wheel independent suspension, as a wide selection at the time said was the original pioneer and this car for this purpose. . Was prepared bucket seat floor shift four-door diesel engine and gasoline, and 2-door, and the column shift and bench seat, disc brakes and drum brakes, ie hyper-performance, high in the sporty saloon concept vehicle, but there is a family car . 2-door aimed at the quality is. Vered appeared on the market prior month to Skyline GT as Bellett GT aimed at sporty and even the sales plan. Vered was released at the same time the Wasp as sisters car pickup trucks and more Wasp rising Number of Toyota, Nissan and is one of sufficient at this point was a very careful and 5,000 future units 3000 also, Isuzu niche, pursue technological superiority, was the stance of various low-volume production from the very beginning .. was fate continue burdened with the anguish say Isuzu, and fight with this strategy until the last development period of Vered is a three-year round, was a short-term development is also seen from the current machine computerization has been comb. In addition vehicle weight of 820kg is expected to four-wheel independent suspension was greater in terms of weight reduction. was a tough goal given that 890kg, 920kg of Corona was the Blue Bird. |
