Performance Analysis
Fuel Efficiency
Under mixed-load conditions (20–30 km/h average speed, 25–30 ton payload, 3–5% grade frequency), the WD615-powered configuration achieves:
- Average Fuel Consumption: 32–36 L/100 km
- Optimized Cruising Efficiency: 28–30 L/100 km (on flat terrain, 40–50 km/h, 20-ton load)
- Fuel Type: Ultra-Low Sulfur Diesel (ULSD), Cetane ≥ 51
The Weichai WD615 engine features high-pressure common rail injection and electronically controlled timing, contributing to consistent combustion efficiency. Combined with the HW19710’s close-ratio gearing, operators achieve improved shift smoothness and reduced fuel spikes during load transitions.
Note: Retrofitting with OEM-approved ECU tuning and aerodynamic kits (roof fairings, side deflectors) can improve fuel economy by up to 6%.
Load Capacity & Structural Integrity
The specified axle and frame configuration supports rated payloads of 28–32 metric tons, depending on body type and material density. Typical applications include:
- Crushed stone / aggregate hauling (2.4–2.7 t/m³)
- Pre-cast concrete transport
- Earthmoving equipment carrier duties
The dual 13-ton rear axles with HC160 differentials provide high torsional rigidity and resistance to shock loading. Load distribution is optimized via a 5,400 mm wheelbase and balanced front-to-rear weight ratio (30:70 under full load).
Tires (12.00R20 18PR) are rated for continuous operation at 85 km/h and feature cut- and wear-resistant tread compounds suitable for unpaved job sites and urban transfer routes.
Service & Maintenance Considerations
- Engine Oil Change Interval: 10,000 km (synthetic, API CI-4)

Prepared by: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Used Truck Dealership Units from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers, Construction Equipment Procurement Officers, and Logistics Coordinators
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack container shipping—for the export of used commercial trucks from Chinese dealerships to international markets. Key parameters assessed include cost efficiency, handling speed, vehicle protection, and exposure to environmental hazards, particularly seawater-induced corrosion. A standardized wax-based protective treatment is recommended for all shipment types to mitigate long-term degradation during ocean transit.
1. Overview of Export Requirements
Used truck units (typically Class 6–8: 18,000–33,000 kg GVWR) exported from major Chinese ports (e.g., Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou) require secure, cost-effective, and corrosion-resistant transport solutions. Units are often diesel-powered, with high residual value and sensitivity to saltwater exposure.
Key export challenges:
– Extended ocean transit (14–45 days depending on destination)
– Exposure to high-humidity marine environments
– Risk of mechanical damage during loading/unloading
– Regulatory compliance in receiving countries (emissions, safety)
2. Comparative Analysis: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowage) | Flat Rack Container (20′ or 40′) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Method | Self-propelled or towed onto vessel | Crane-lifted, stowed in open cargo holds | Crane-lifted onto open-sided flat rack units |
| Vehicle Capacity (per vessel) | High (300–800 units) | Medium (200–500 units) | Low to Medium (8–20 units per 10 containers) |
| Transit Time Efficiency | Fast loading/unloading (6–12 hrs) | Moderate (12–24 hrs) | Slow (24–48 hrs for full container ops) |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate (exposed decks; partial weather cover) | Low (fully exposed to elements) | High (secured within container frame; tarp options) |
| Risk of Mechanical Damage | Low (driven on/off) | High (rigging stress, shifting) | Moderate (secure lashings, but crane dependency) |
| Corrosion Exposure Risk | High (direct salt spray on undercarriage, engine bay) | Very High (full immersion risk in rough seas) | Moderate (elevated position, but open sides) |
| Cost per Unit (USD avg.) | $800–$1,100 | $600–$900 | $1,300–$1,800 |
| Port Infrastructure Required | RO-RO-capable terminals only | General bulk terminals | Standard container terminals |
| Best Suited For | High-volume, standard-spec trucks | Low-budget, non-sensitive units | High-value, oversized, or custom-configured trucks |
3. Corrosion Mitigation: Wax Spraying Protection Protocol
All exported used trucks are subject to chloride-induced corrosion during maritime transport. To ensure residual value and operational readiness upon delivery, SEA LION International mandates the Wax-Based Anti-Corrosion Treatment (W-ACT) 2026 as a minimum standard.
W-ACT 2026 Specification:
| Component | Treatment Method | Coverage Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Undercarriage & Frame | High-pressure wax emulsion spray (70–90 µm thickness) | Full coverage; includes suspension, exhaust, fuel lines |
| Engine Bay | Targeted cavity wax injection | Critical joints, radiator supports, wiring harness anchors |
| Wheel Wells & Fenders | Brush-assisted wax coating | Salt-trap zones pre-treated before final spray |
| Interior Cavity Protection | Vapor-phase corrosion inhibitor (VCI) inserts | Cab frame rails, door cavities, cross-members |
Performance Metrics:
– Salt spray resistance: 1,000+ hours (per ASTM B117)
– Service life post-transit: Minimum 6-month protection in tropical climates
– Compatibility: Non-conductive, non-reactive with rubber, paint, and electronics
Note: Wax treatment must be applied 72 hours prior to vessel loading to ensure full curing. Documentation of treatment (batch ID, inspector stamp) must accompany each unit.
4. Recommendations by Use Case
| Application | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume fleet replacement (e.g., 50+ units) | RO-RO + W-ACT 2026 | Fast turnaround, economies of scale, moderate protection with wax enhancement |
| Budget-sensitive, short-haul destinations (e.g., Southeast Asia) | Bulk Cargo + W-ACT 2026 | Lowest cost; acceptable risk with aggressive corrosion protection |
| Oversized, crane-equipped, or high-value specialty trucks | Flat Rack + W-ACT 2026 | Maximum control, visibility, and security during transit |
5. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must include:
– Pre-shipment inspection (PSI) report (ISO 10472-1 compliant)
– Wax treatment certification (W-ACT 2026)
– Bill of Lading with stowage position (for RO-RO/Bulk)
– Container Safety Convention (CSC) plate (Flat Rack only)
6. Conclusion
For the efficient and secure export of used trucks from China, RO-RO remains the optimal balance of speed and cost for standard units. Flat Rack offers superior protection for high-value or non-standard configurations, while Bulk Cargo is viable only with strict adherence to W-ACT 2026. Universal application of wax-based anti-corrosion treatment is non-negotiable to preserve asset integrity across all shipping methods.
SEA LION International advises fleet managers and construction firms to align shipment strategy with vehicle value, volume, and delivery timeline, leveraging industrial-grade protection protocols to minimize post-import refurbishment costs.
