Operational Performance Analysis
Fuel Efficiency
Fuel consumption is a critical factor in fleet operations. The Weichai WD615 series, while not the most modern in terms of emissions (typically meets China III or equivalent), delivers robust fuel economy under consistent load. In plowing mode—where trucks operate at 5–15 km/h with continuous hydraulic demand—fuel efficiency drops due to:
– High-idle engine operation (1,400–1,600 rpm) to power hydraulic pumps
– Increased rolling resistance from compacted snow
– Frequent start-stop cycles
Despite this, the HW19710 transmission’s wide gear ratios allow operators to maintain optimal engine load, minimizing unnecessary fuel burn. Fleet telemetry from northern Chinese provinces indicates average fuel consumption of 41 L/100 km during 8-hour snow events.
Load Capacity & Durability
These trucks are engineered for high-cycle, high-stress environments. Key load-bearing components include:
– Reinforced frame rails (300 HB steel, 8 mm thickness)
– Heavy-duty front suspension (parabolic leaf or helical coil)
– Lubed-for-life wheel hubs and cam-type brake actuators
The 12.00R20 tires provide excellent load distribution across snow-covered surfaces, reducing ground pressure and minimizing rut formation. With a GVWR of 31,000 kg, these units can carry:
– 2,500–3,000 kg of de-icing material (salt/sand mix)
– Full hydraulic system (400–600 kg)
– Operator and winter survival gear
This makes them suitable not only for municipal plowing but also for industrial site clearance at mining, logistics, and construction facilities.
Summary & Recommendations
Used trucks equipped with Weichai WD615 engines and HW19710 transmissions represent a cost-effective solution for fleet managers seeking reliable, repairable snow removal assets. Their proven load capacity, rugged drivetrains, and widespread parts availability ensure low downtime and long service life when maintained per OEM guidelines.
Recommended Use Cases:
– Secondary airport apron clearing
– Large commercial parking complexes
– Industrial park access roads
– Municipal backup fleets
Due to their mechanical simplicity and high torque output, these units remain in high demand across cold-region construction and infrastructure operations.
