| Operating Condition | Avg. Fuel Consumption | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Highway (Loaded, 70 km/h) | 28–30 L/100 km | Aerodynamic drag optimized at steady state |
| Graded Haul Roads (8–12% incline) | 34–38 L/100 km | Torque demand increases under load |
| Idle & Site Operations | 2.2–2.8 L/h | Engine idling with PTO disengaged |
| Composite Cycle (Weighted) | 31.5 L/100 km | Based on 1,200-hour field dataset |
The Weichai WD615 engine demonstrates robust fuel stability under variable loads. Units retrofitted with calibrated ECM updates show up to 4.7% improvement in fuel efficiency versus factory-default configurations.
Load Capacity & Structural Performance
Tyler trucks equipped with the HW19710 transmission and dual 13T rear axles are engineered for sustained operation at or near maximum GVW. Key performance metrics:
- Maximum Payload Capacity: 32,000–33,000 kg (70,760–72,750 lbs), depending on body configuration
- Frame Rail Construction: High-tensile steel (Q345), 8mm thickness, reinforced at suspension mounts
- Suspension Type: Multi-leaf parabolic spring (front), multi-leaf tandem with walking beam (rear)
- Dump Body Compatibility: Up to 20 m³ volumetric capacity (aggregate density ~1.6 t/m³)
Field data indicates 92% of units maintain structural integrity beyond 600,000 km when maintained per OEM intervals. Critical wear points include shackle bushings and rear hanger brackets—recommended inspection every 50,000 km.
Operational Recommendations
- Transmission Use: The HW19710 requires disciplined shifting technique. Use split-range logic to maintain engine in torque band (1,200–1,800 rpm) under load.
- Tire Maintenance: 12.00R20 tires must be inflated to 850 kPa (123 psi) for rated load. Under-inflation leads to rapid shoulder wear and casing degradation.
- Cooling System: WD615 engines are sensitive to coolant flow restriction. Inspect radiator fins and EGR cooler (if applicable) every 15,000 km in dusty environments.
- Fuel Quality: Use diesel with ≤10 ppm sulfur and water separation. Poor fuel accelerates injector wear in common-rail variants.
