Fuel Efficiency Analysis
The Weichai WD615 engine platform is optimized for fuel economy in continuous hauling operations. Key factors contributing to fuel efficiency include:
- Electronic High-Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) System: Enables precise fuel injection timing and atomization, reducing fuel waste.
- Turbocharging & Intercooling: Improves combustion efficiency, especially at high altitudes or under sustained loads.
- Engine-Transmission Match: The HW19710 transmission’s wide gear ratio spread allows the engine to operate within the optimal 1,200–1,600 rpm torque band during haul cycles.
Average Fuel Consumption:
– Loaded Hauling (Mixed Terrain): 32–36 L/100 km
– On-Road Cruising (Empty Return): 24–28 L/100 km
– Idle Fuel Burn: ~2.1 L/hour (with auto-idle shutdown recommended)
Real-world fleet data from quarry and infrastructure projects indicate a 12–15% improvement in fuel efficiency compared to legacy non-common-rail diesel engines under similar duty cycles.
Load Capacity & Structural Integrity
Designed for high-cycle construction and mining applications, the dump truck chassis integrates a high-tensile steel frame (U-section, 300–320 HB hardness) with reinforced stress points at suspension mounts and pivot joints.
- Payload Range: 20–25 metric tons depending on body length (5.8 m to 6.5 m standard) and material density.

- Wax Type: Solvent-based, hydrophobic polymer wax (salt-exclusion formulation)
- Thickness: 25–30 µm dry film
- Duration of Protection: Up to 12 weeks at sea (ISO 9223 corrosivity category C5-M)
Efficacy by Shipping Method:
| Shipping Method | Corrosion Risk (Pre-Treatment) | Risk After Wax Spraying | Recommended? |
|---|---|---|---|
| RO-RO | High | Moderate | Yes (mandatory) |
| Bulk Cargo | Very High | High | Conditional (not advised without additional wrapping) |
| Flat Rack | High | Moderate | Yes (with tarpaulin overlay) |
Note: Wax treatment is non-removable and must be cleaned upon delivery. It does not replace proper ventilation or desiccant use in enclosed spaces.
4. Recommendations by Use Case
| Customer Profile | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Large construction firms (10+ units) | RO-RO + Wax Spray | Fast deployment, lower handling risk, scalable |
| Budget-constrained buyers | Bulk Cargo (only with full chassis encapsulation) | Cost-driven; high risk without extra protection |
| High-value or custom-configured units | Flat Rack + Wax + Tarp | Maximum control over securing and exposure |
5. SEA LION International Standards
All Weichai dump truck exports via SEA LION adhere to the following:
– Pre-shipment: Full diagnostic check, fuel stabilization, battery isolation
