Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel consumption is measured under standard load cycles on mixed terrain (30% paved, 70% unpaved/graded haul roads):
| Load Condition | Average Fuel Consumption (L/100 km) |
|---|---|
| Empty (Tare Weight) | 28–31 L/100 km |
| 50% Payload | 33–36 L/100 km |
| Full Load (25 Ton) | 38–42 L/100 km |
- Engine Calibration: The Weichai WD615 engine features Bosch electronic unit pump (EUP) fuel system in Euro III models and high-pressure common rail (HPCR) in later Euro V units—improving combustion efficiency by ~8%.
- Eco-Driving Impact: Use of engine brake and gear holding in descent reduces fuel use by up to 12% in hilly terrains.
- Field Recommendation: Regular injector cleaning and air filter maintenance are critical to sustaining OEM-level efficiency in used units.
Load Capacity & Structural Performance
- Rated Payload: 25,000 kg (25 Ton) on Class II haul roads with proper tire inflation (85–90 psi).
- Body Configuration: Standard rigid tipper body (5.6 m length, 2.3 m height, 18 m³ volume) constructed from NM450 abrasion-resistant steel.
- Axle Load Distribution:
- Front: ~25% of total GVW
- Rear Tandem: ~75% (balanced via load-sharing spring hangers)
- Overload Tolerance: Units in service show acceptable fatigue life up to 110% of rated load (27.5 Ton) for <5,000 km/year overuse, provided speed is limited to <35 km/h on rough terrain.
Note: Exceeding 28 Ton consistently reduces rear axle bearing and leaf spring service life by 30–40%.
Operational Recommendations for Fleet Managers
- Pre-Purchase Inspection Focus:
- Check turbocharger boost pressure (min. 1.8 bar at full load)
