Performance Analysis
Fuel Efficiency
Fuel consumption for trucks equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission averages 2.8 to 3.4 miles per gallon (mpg) under mixed-load conditions (highway and regional haul). Off-road or heavy stop-start construction cycles may reduce efficiency to 2.2–2.6 mpg. The mechanical fuel system of the WD615 offers reliable performance with lower maintenance costs, though less optimized for fuel economy compared to modern common-rail systems. Fleet operators report best efficiency when maintaining engine rpm between 1,600–1,900 under load.
Load Capacity
These trucks are engineered for high payload demands:
– Maximum Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW): 60,000–72,750 lbs (27,215–33,000 kg)
– Payload Capacity: Up to 50,000 lbs (22,680 kg) depending on body configuration and axle ratio
– Ideal for flatbed, dump, and stake-body applications in aggregate, demolition, and heavy equipment transport sectors
The tandem rear axles (13T each) with standard 4.875:1 or 5.26:1 gear ratios provide strong tractive effort, particularly beneficial on inclines and unimproved job site access roads.
Operational Recommendations
- Maintenance Focus: Inspect injection pumps and turbocharger health on WD615 units; monitor clutch wear on HW19710 transmissions due to high torque loads.

The choice of shipping method significantly impacts delivery timelines, vehicle condition upon arrival, and total landed cost.
2. Comparative Analysis of Shipping Methods
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowage) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Method | Driven on/off vessel via ramps | Crane-lifted; secured in hold | Crane-lifted; lashed to open-frame ISO platform |
| Suitability for Trucks | High – designed for wheeled vehicles | Low – not optimized for intact vehicles | High – ideal for non-operational or oversized units |
| Vehicle Protection | Moderate – exposed to salt spray in open decks | Low – high risk of contact damage and moisture | High – customizable weatherproofing and sealing |
| Corrosion Exposure | High – direct seawater aerosol contact | High – confined humid environment | Moderate – manageable with sealing and wax coating |
| Transit Time (Avg.) | 28–35 days (Asia to Middle East) | 32–40 days | 30–36 days |
| Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,600 – $2,000 (not recommended) | $2,600 – $3,200 |
| Insurance Risk Profile | Medium | High | Low to Medium |
| Port Infrastructure Required | RO-RO terminal with ramps | General cargo crane access | Container yard with heavy-lift capability |
| Best For | Operational trucks, fleet batches | Not recommended for used trucks | Non-running units, custom configurations |
Note: Bulk Cargo is not advised for used commercial trucks due to high risk of structural and cosmetic damage during stowage.
3. Corrosion Mitigation: Wax Spraying Protection System
Seawater-induced corrosion is a critical risk during maritime transport, particularly for steel chassis, undercarriages, and brake systems. SEA LION International implements a MarineGuard™ Wax Spraying Protocol to enhance long-term asset integrity.
3.1 Wax Spraying Specifications
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|

| Application Method | High-pressure electrostatic spray (25–35 psi) |
| Coating Thickness | 25–30 µm (chassis and undercarriage) |
| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension components, fuel tanks, exhaust manifolds, wheel hubs |
| Salt Spray Resistance (ASTM B117) | >1,000 hours with <5% red rust formation |
| Service Life | Up to 18 months in marine environments |
| Removal Process | Biodegradable citrus-based solvent; compatible with paint and rubber seals |
3.2 Application Workflow
- Pre-Treatment: Degrease and dry undercarriage (80°C forced-air drying).
- Masking: Protect sensors, brake discs, and electrical connectors.
- Spraying: Automated robotic arms ensure uniform coverage.
- Curing: 2-hour ambient cure before loading.
- Verification: Adhesion test (ASTM D3359) and thickness gauge audit.
Recommendation: Wax application is mandatory for RO-RO and advised for Flat Rack shipments. Reduces post-arrival reconditioning costs by up to 40%.
4. Recommended Logistics Strategy
| Scenario | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Operational fleet trucks (≥80% functional) | RO-RO + Wax Spray | Fast loading, cost-effective, minimal disassembly |
| Non-operational or damaged units | Flat Rack + Full Enclosure + Wax Spray | Maximum protection, accommodates tilt or misalignment |
| Mixed fleet (operational + non-running) | Hybrid: RO-RO + Flat Rack combo booking | Optimizes cost and safety across vehicle conditions |
5. Compliance & Certification
All shipments comply with:
– IMO CSS Code (Cargo Securing Manual)
– IMSBC Code (for non-containerized units)
– China Customs Export Declaration (Used Mechanical Equipment, HS 8704)
– ISPM 15 (for wooden dunnage, if used)
Wax formulation meets REACH and RoHS standards for environmental safety.
6. Conclusion
For the export of used trucks from China bound for global construction and fleet operations, RO-RO shipping with wax-based corrosion protection offers the optimal balance of efficiency and asset preservation for operational units. Flat Rack containers are superior for non-functional or modified trucks requiring structural safeguarding. Bulk Cargo is not recommended due to unacceptably high damage rates.
SEA LION International recommends implementing the MarineGuard™ Wax Spraying Protocol across all shipments to mitigate saltwater corrosion and ensure trucks arrive in re-deployment-ready condition.
