Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel consumption is measured under mixed operating conditions (on/off-highway, loaded/unloaded cycles). Data sourced from 12-month telemetry logs across 87 units in quarry and road construction applications.
| Operating Condition | Avg. Fuel Consumption (WD615.69) | Avg. Fuel Consumption (WD615.77) |
|---|---|---|
| On-Highway (Loaded) | 32 L/100 km | 34 L/100 km |
| Off-Road Haul (Loaded) | 38–42 L/100 km | 40–45 L/100 km |
| Idling / Dump Cycle | 2.8–3.5 L/h | 3.0–3.8 L/h |
Efficiency Notes:
– The WD615.69 (336 hp) demonstrates ~6% better specific fuel consumption (SFC) in sustained haul cycles due to optimized torque curve for 30-ton payloads.
– HW19710 transmission enables precise gear matching, reducing lugging and over-revving.
– Retrofitting with auxiliary fuel filters and ECU remapping (post-warranty) has shown up to 8% improvement in fuel economy in controlled fleets.
Load Capacity & Structural Integrity
- Maximum Payload: Rated for 32-ton payloads on improved haul roads; continuous operation above 30 tons requires axle and suspension inspection every 5,000 km.
- Axle Duty Rating: Rear axles (dual reduction) are rated for 18-ton static load; fatigue life exceeds 8,000 hrs under standard mining cycles when maintained.
- Tire Performance: 12.00R20 tires exhibit 8,000–12,000 km lifespan on abrasive quarry surfaces. Use of cut-resistant tread compounds (e.g., Triangle TR658) extends life by ~25%.
- Frame & Chassis: Ladder frame constructed from 300 HB high-strength steel; common wear points at pivot mounts and rear crossmembers require bi-monthly inspection.
Operational Recommendations
- Engine Maintenance: WD615 series requires strict adherence to oil change intervals (every 8,000 km) due to high soot loading in Euro III/IV variants.
- Transmission Shift Protocol: Use split-shift technique with HW19710 to minimize synchro wear; avoid skip-shifting under load.
- Tire Management: Maintain 90–100 psi (cold) inflation pressure; underinflation increases rolling resistance by up to 15% and accelerates shoulder wear.
- Payload Calibration: Use onboard weighing systems to prevent overloading; sustained overloads (>35 tons) reduce axle service life by 30–40%.
Conclusion
Used Chinese dump trucks equipped with Weichai WD615 engines and HW19710 transmissions offer a proven balance of durability, serviceability, and payload efficiency for cost-sensitive operations. With proper maintenance, these units achieve 12,000–15,000 hours of productive service in heavy-duty construction and mining roles. Fuel efficiency and load reliability are competitive within the secondary market, particularly when integrated into structured fleet maintenance programs.
