Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel efficiency in trucks equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission is highly dependent on load profile, terrain, and driver behavior. However, under mixed-load conditions (loaded 70% of trip), the following fuel economy benchmarks are observed:
| Operating Condition | Average Fuel Consumption (Diesel) |
|---|---|
| Highway (Loaded) | 28–32 L/100 km |
| On-Site / Construction | 35–42 L/100 km |
| Empty Return | 22–26 L/100 km |
Efficiency Notes:
– The WD615 engine features electronically controlled unit pump (EUP) injection, optimizing combustion efficiency despite not meeting Euro V+ standards.
– The HW19710’s wide gear ratio spread (1st: 12.86, 10th: 0.78) allows for effective engine speed management, reducing lugging and over-revving.
– Retrofitting with low-rolling-resistance tires (e.g., 12R22.5 alternatives) can improve fuel economy by 3–5%, though 12.00R20 remains preferred for load security and tread life in unpaved environments.
Load Capacity & Operational Suitability
| Configuration | Max. Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW) | Recommended Payload |
|---|---|---|
| 6×4 Dump Truck | 49,000 kg | 30,000–38,000 kg |
