Dongfeng, a fleet of ships named “Dongfeng†and with Chinese sailors as the main sailors, is the Dongfeng Team. , will participate in the 2014-2015 Volvo Ocean Race in this year's fierce competition. The "Dongfeng" brand commercial vehicle global marketing strategy began to be implemented.
The Dongfeng team will be the only Chinese team participating in the new world sailing event, and will be the third team in the history of sailing events in the world to represent China in the Volvo Ocean Race. The "Dongfeng" has launched its first ocean-going training across the Atlantic. It will officially select the crew members later this month.
This global event attracted the attention of the world and was also taken care of by the 3.5 million people of Shiyan City, where Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle is located. In order to keep abreast of the latest development of the "Dongfeng" participation in the Volvo Ocean Race and the attention of the "Dongfeng" and "Dongfeng" brands overseas, the magazine will launch the "Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Going to the World" column from this issue. Follow-up reports on the preparation of the Dongfeng team and the "Dongfeng" event, so stay tuned.
The "Dongfeng", which is exclusively named by China Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle Co., Ltd., the leading company of China Heavy Duty Truck, will participate in the Volvo Ocean Race in October this year. The Dongfeng team has recently started transatlantic ocean-to-air combat training. This voyage was the last training of the Chinese crew of the Dongfeng team after six months of system training, and was the highest degree of difficulty since they joined the Dongfeng team training camp. The performance of the crew in training will determine whether they can be selected for the “Dongfeng†crew list.
After several weeks of non-stop preparation, Captain Charles Goldheier and Dongfeng Team’s training crew drove the “Dongfeng†to leave the Newport Harbor in the United States and began a transatlantic ocean-going battle. training. On the pier before departure, there was an atmosphere of worry and expectation. Especially for the Chinese crewmen Chen Jinhao, Yang Jiru and Kong Chencheng, although after a short period of 6 months of training, they possessed more professional qualities and accumulated more than 3,500 nautical miles of voyage, but everything in front of them is still unknown. Chinese swimmers Zheng Yingjie and Liu Ming who will not participate in the training will later meet with the fleet in Lorient, France. On the 26th of this month, Charles Goldheier plans to formally announce with him the list of the Dongfeng crew of the 2014 to 2015 Volvo Ocean Race.
The U.S. Newport to French Lorient this transatlantic voyage is the seventh stage of the 2014 to 2015 season Volvo Ocean Race, sailing about 2,800 nautical miles. The training is expected to be completed in 8 days. The Dongfeng team will perform full-scale simulation training during the voyage in the state of the game, and continue to have a more in-depth understanding of the Volvo 65 "Dongfeng" racing boat to collect and analyze relevant data. The weather forecast shows that the weather on the first night after the “Dongfeng†started is relatively stable, but the wind speed will quickly increase after 24 hours of sailing.
Although this is not the longest-running training for a Chinese crew member in the Dongfeng team's training camp, crossing the Atlantic is undoubtedly the most difficult of all voyages. When curious people ask whether they are worried or upset, most of the time their reaction is simply to look back at their teammates, shrug their shoulders and say nothing. The night before their departure, they really did not want their determination and will to be shaken because of a little unrest. When asked if Yang Jiru had any special concerns, he said: “I was clear about this road when I just joined the selection. It will be difficult, I will force myself to challenge the limits and overcome myself again and again.I insisted for so long, worked hard for so long, and I was fully prepared for this exam.The only thing that worries me a lot is the security issue. It wasn’t the Marine Safety Survival Course a few weeks ago that I didn’t realize how dangerous the game itself was.When we were in Sanya, we took part in rescue training for people falling into the water. At that time, it was during the day and the sea was calm, but the crew accidentally fell into the water. Within a few seconds, it disappeared within sight of us. It is conceivable that accidentally falling into the water at night or in a stormy wind would have caused disastrous consequences. Of course, I am not afraid of worrying myself.
The 2014 to 2015 season Volvo Ocean Race will be officially opened in Alicante, Spain in October 2014. In order to become the official crew of the Dongfeng team and represent China in the competition, the crew of the Dongfeng team showed unprecedented confidence and strength.
