Fuel Efficiency Analysis
The Weichai WD615 engine, when paired with the HW19710 transmission and optimized rear axle ratios (typically 5.45 or 5.83), delivers an average fuel efficiency of 3.8 to 4.4 km/L (9–10.5 MPG) under mixed-load conditions on regional haul and construction access routes.
- On-highway cruising (loaded, 60–75 km/h): ~4.1 km/L (9.7 MPG)
- Off-road / on-site operation (intermittent load): ~3.2 km/L (7.5 MPG)
- Fuel type: Ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD), B5 biodiesel compatible
Fuel economy is sensitive to operator driving style, terrain, and tire condition. Units retrofitted with low-rolling-resistance 12.00R20 tires and optimized gear-shifting protocols show up to 8% improvement in fuel economy versus baseline configurations.
Load Capacity & Operational Suitability
These trucks are engineered for heavy-load vocational applications, including:
- Aggregate hauling (stone, sand, gravel)
- Demolition debris transport
- Heavy equipment towing (via gooseneck or fifth-wheel)
- On-site material distribution
With a GVWR of up to 32 metric tons and a rear axle tandem rated at 26,000 kg (57,320 lbs), the platform supports payloads of 20,000–24,000 kg (44,000–53,000 lbs) depending on body configuration and fuel/water load.
The 12.00R20 18PR tires provide robust durability under high-load, low-speed conditions typical of construction zones. Their deep tread and reinforced sidewalls resist cuts and punctures from sharp aggregate and debris.
Note: Maximum tire pressure should be maintained at 850–900 kPa (123–130 psi) for full load compliance. Underinflation significantly increases rolling resistance and reduces tire life.
Recommendations for Fleet Integration
- Pre-Purchase Inspection: Confirm engine health via compression test and oil analysis; inspect HW19710 transmission for synchro wear.
- Axle Maintenance: Check differential oil condition and backlash settings—common wear point under sustained overload.

Note: Bulk cargo is not recommended for high-recovery-value salvage or re-marketable units due to elevated damage and corrosion risks.
4. Corrosion Mitigation: Wax Spraying Protocol
Seawater exposure during maritime transit poses a significant risk of salt-induced corrosion, particularly on undercarriages, chassis rails, and engine compartments. SEA LION International recommends the following industrial-grade protection protocol:
Wax-Based Anti-Corrosion Treatment (ISO 12944-2 Compliant)
| Step | Procedure | Specification |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pre-treatment cleaning | High-pressure freshwater rinse + degreasing |
| 2 | Cavity wax injection | 120°C molten wax into frame rails, joints |
| 3 | Underbody spray coating | Polymer-modified microcrystalline wax (50–70 µm thickness) |
| 4 | Exposed metal sealing | Dielectric spray on battery terminals, suspension |
| 5 | Post-application drying | 4-hour curing at 40°C |
Performance Metrics:
– Salt spray resistance: >1,000 hours (ASTM B117)
– Humidity resistance: 95% RH @ 40°C for 500 hours
– Service life extension: +18–24 months in coastal environments
Cost Impact: +$180–$250 per unit (recommended for all export shipments).
5. Recommended Logistics Strategy
| Scenario | Preferred Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Drivable trucks, immediate resale | RO-RO + Wax Spray | Fast turnaround, lower cost, wax mitigates deck exposure |
| Non-operational salvage with high reuse value | Flat Rack + Enclosure | Full structural protection, enables crating and desiccant use |
| Low-value scrap metal components | Bulk Cargo (not advised) | Only if cost is overriding factor; high loss risk |
SEA LION Recommendation: For mixed fleets, utilize RO-RO for drivable units and Flat Rack for salvage/oversized components. Implement mandatory wax spraying across all consignments.
6. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must adhere to:
– IMDG Code (for any residual fuels/lubricants)
– China Customs Export Declaration (CCED) for re-exports
– Bill of Lading (Sea Waybill) with detailed equipment manifest
– Certificate of Conformity (CoC) for reconditioned units
– Fumigation Certificate (if wooden components present)
7. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction firms exporting used trucks and salvage from Chinese consolidation points, RO-RO with industrial wax protection offers the optimal balance of cost and efficiency for drivable units. Flat Rack containers are superior for high-value or non-operational assets requiring maximum environmental shielding. Bulk cargo remains a high-risk, low-reward alternative and is not recommended for strategic fleet re-deployment.
Implementing standardized wax-based corrosion protection is non-negotiable for maintaining residual equipment value across tropical and coastal shipping routes.
