At 4,772 meters above sea level, another world record for a Chinese off-roader.

Kumukuri Desert is the highest desert in the world, with an altitude of 3900 ~ 4700 meters. The average thickness of the desert is 300 meters, and the maximum thickness is more than 500 meters.  Compared with other deserts, this desert has more magnificent natural scenery. Still, it also has a more severe climate environment and is a life exclusion zone that most people and vehicles can never reach.  MHERO I, with its intelligent off-road architecture M TECH, can still exert strong power and stable four-wheel drive output on the world's roof and successfully climbed the world's highest sand peak, setting a new world record to 4772 meters!

Winter is not a good time for challenges. In the high desert, breathing is a burden. Even more challenging is that the desert at this time is covered with snow cold frozen water into ice, covering the surface of the desert extremely hard. However, after the wind blows, the acceptable sand terrain adhesion is inferior on the smoothie mixing layer, the vehicle tires are easy to slip, and driving through is extremely difficult and dangerous.

 

The implementation of this challenge is the extended range version of the electric MHERO I, a power output of 800 - because the motor ultimately drives the vehicle, the plateau has almost no impact on its power, which is the biggest challenge of the base.

After leaving the road, the dust on the potholed road was everywhere, and the driver could hardly see the front car and the road conditions.  Usually, the vehicle has to slow down and extend the distance between the front and rear cars as far as possible. However, with the intelligent infrared detection system of MHERO Ⅰ

can present the road track and the front car on the dashboard so the team can run freely in the wilderness like a Tibetan wild donkey.

 

The caravan traversed the desert for two days before finally finding the highest sand peak. The slope at the top of the sand peak is more than 100% measured on site, and there is nearly a hundred meters of drop between the highest point of the sand peak and the vertical height of the safety platform on both sides of the slope, and the slightest mistake will cause danger. Therefore, the expedition team is looking for similar sand mountains to practice sprinting and reversing repeatedly so that the driver can establish the best connection with the car and the environment. Confirming safety and confidence before starting is a necessary link. After all, this is an adventure, not an adventure.

 

After a day of simulation exercises and vehicle inspections, everything was ready, and at 4 pm on November 27, MHERO I launched its assault on the world's highest sand peak.

Start, sprint, climb to the top, over, when the other end of the sand peak came from the "smooth landing, people and vehicles safe." at that moment, everyone's hanging heart finally fell.  MHERO Ⅰ represents a global production car successfully challenging the world's highest sand peak!

 

The team trekked to the summit to measure the final elevation of the vehicle crossing point, 4,772 meters!  The world's first production car to climb the world's highest altitude sand peak was born!  This record belongs to MHERO I, but it also belongs to China Cross Country!
