Development Of Pneumatic Brake System of Mercedes 2624 Gun Tower Compatible with All Artillery Guns

Abstract

The Mercedes-Benz 2624 trucks are known as heavy-duty vehicles primarily employed for long-distance transportation purposes. However, a limitation lies in the braking system of traditional Mercedes-Benz 2624 trucks, which is equipped with two couplings. Conversely, the modern Mercedes-Benz 2028 trucks are designed to be compatible with more range of artillery guns. Rather than disposing of the older trucks, an alternative solution presents itself in the form of modifying their braking systems to meet modern requirements. The fundamental braking system of both the Mercedes-Benz 2624 and 2028 trucks shares similarities. However, specific modifications are necessary to make sure the Mercedes-Benz 2624 trucks achieve universal compatibility. By implementing these alterations, the MercedesBenz 2624 trucks can transition from a two-coupling system to three-coupling system. Implementing the necessary modification, the braking systems of both the Mercedes-Benz 2624 and 2028 trucks become indistinguishable, thus rendering them fully compatible with all types of artillery guns. Consequently, modified braking system not only optimizes the efficiency and effectiveness of the older trucks but also maximizes their utility in modern artillery operations. By repurposing the Mercedes-Benz 2624 trucks through braking system modifications, the Pakistan Military can benefit from improved versatility and flexibility in their artillery gun transportation capabilities.
