Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel economy in WD615-powered trucks is influenced by load profile, terrain, and maintenance condition. In typical regional haul and on/off-road construction cycles:
- Average Fuel Consumption: 28–34 L/100 km (6.9–8.3 mpg US)
- Optimal Efficiency Range: Achieved at 1,400–1,800 rpm under 80% load
- Fuel Quality Sensitivity: High; requires low-sulfur diesel (≤500 ppm) to prevent injector and turbo degradation
- Aftermarket Tuning Impact: Unregulated ECU remaps may increase power but reduce fuel efficiency by 8–12% and accelerate wear
Note: Retrofitting with modern fuel filters and air intake systems can improve efficiency by up to 7% in older units.
Load Capacity & Operational Suitability
| Configuration | Rated Capacity (kg) | Rated Capacity (lbs) | Application Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Payload (Net) | 20,000 – 24,000 | 44,092 – 52,911 | Aggregate, Masonry, Equipment Trailers |
| Towing Capacity | Up to 18,000 | 39,683 | Lowboy, Flatbed Trailers (Class IV Hitch) |
| Axle Load Utilization | Front: 65–70%, Rear: 90–95% of rated | Requires strict load balancing to avoid rear overloading |
- Tire Load Margin: 12.00R20 18PR tires support 15,200 lbs each; dual setup per axle = 60,800 lbs theoretical, but frame and suspension limit practical use to ~56,000 lbs on tandem.
- Overload Risk: Common in Delaware quarry and demolition fleets; sustained overloads (>10% GVWR) reduce axle bearing and leaf spring life by 30–50%.
Recommendations for Fleet Managers
- Pre-Purchase Inspection Focus:
- Verify turbocharger and EGR (if retrofitted) functionality.
- Inspect HW19710 shift forks and main shaft wear.
-
Check axle gear oil for metal particulates (indicative of bearing wear).
-
Maintenance Protocol:
- Oil change every 8,000 km (5,000 mi) with CI-4 or higher grade.
- Air filter service every 5,000 km in dusty environments.
-
Transmission oil change every 60,000 km.
-
Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Outlook:
- Acquisition Cost (Delaware, 2026): $28,000 – $42,000 (depending on year, 2010–2016 models)
- Estimated Residual Value (5-year holding): 22–28%
- Repair Frequency (per 100,000 km): 3.2 major interventions (engine/transmission/axle)
Conclusion: Used trucks equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission offer proven durability and acceptable fuel efficiency for medium-intensity construction logistics in the Mid-Atlantic region. While emissions and noise levels do not meet current EPA standards for new vehicles, their mechanical robustness and parts availability make them viable for cost-conscious fleet expansion—provided rigorous maintenance and load compliance are enforced.

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for: Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Used Trucks from China (Origin: Delaware, USA – Shipped via Chinese Ports)
Issuing Authority: SEA LION International – Global Heavy Equipment Logistics Division
Date: April 5, 2026
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime transport methods—Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack container shipping—for the export of used trucks originally sourced from Delaware, USA, and routed through Chinese export ports. The analysis focuses on cost-efficiency, transit integrity, handling protocols, and long-term asset preservation, with specific attention to seawater corrosion mitigation via industrial wax spraying. Recommendations are tailored for fleet managers and construction firms managing large-scale used truck relocations.
1. Operational Overview
Used trucks from Delaware are typically consolidated at U.S. East Coast logistics hubs, shipped to Chinese transshipment ports (e.g., Shanghai, Ningbo, Shenzhen), and re-exported to target markets in Africa, Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and South America. SEA LION International provides end-to-end logistics coordination, including inland transport, port handling, marine shipping, and destination delivery.
Three primary shipping modalities are evaluated below:
| Method | Description | Suitability for Used Trucks |
|---|---|---|
| RO-RO | Vessels designed for wheeled vehicles to drive on/off | High for operational trucks |
| Bulk Cargo | Loosely stowed in vessel holds; minimal securing | Low; high risk of damage |
| Flat Rack | Open-top containers with securing points | High for non-operational or oversized units |
2. Comparative Analysis of Shipping Methods
| Parameter | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo Shipping | Flat Rack Container Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Mechanism | Drive-on/drive-off | Crane-lifted, loose stowage | Crane-lifted, secured on frame |
| Vehicle Condition | Must be operational | Non-operational acceptable | Operational or non-operational |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate (exposed decks) | Low (direct sea exposure) | High (weather-resistant wraps, optional enclosures) |
| Stowage Density | High (efficient stacking) | Very High | Low to Moderate |
| Transit Damage Risk | Medium (deck exposure, salt) | High (chafing, moisture) | Low (secured, isolated) |
| Average Cost (per truck) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,200 – $1,600 | $2,600 – $3,500 |
| Port Infrastructure | Requires RO-RO terminal | General cargo terminal | Container terminal |
| Transit Time (China–Africa) | 28–35 days | 30–40 days | 32–38 days |
| Insurance Premium | Moderate | High | Low to Moderate |
| Best For | Functional fleets, rapid turnaround | Cost-sensitive, high-volume | High-value, damaged, or oversized units |
Note: Bulk Cargo is generally discouraged for used trucks due to uncontrolled environmental exposure and elevated insurance claims. RO-RO and Flat Rack are the preferred industrial standards.
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Seawater-induced corrosion is a leading cause of post-transit depreciation in used heavy vehicles. SEA LION International implements an industrial-grade wax spraying system as a standard preservation layer for all exported trucks.
Wax Spraying Specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic polymer blend |
| Application Method | High-pressure electrostatic spray |
| Coverage Areas | Undercarriage, chassis, wheel wells, brake assemblies, suspension components |
| Thickness | 25–35 microns (uniform coat) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | ASTM B117 compliant; 500+ hours resistance |
| Curing Time | 4 hours (ambient) |
| Validity | Up to 12 months (unwashed) |
Benefits:
- Prevents chloride ion penetration
- Reduces maintenance costs post-delivery by up to 40%
- Extends resale value in tropical and coastal markets
- Complies with ISO 9223 corrosion classification standards
Mandatory for RO-RO and Bulk Cargo shipments. Recommended for Flat Racks in high-humidity routes.
4. Recommended Shipping Strategy by Use Case
| Client Profile | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Construction firms (Africa) | RO-RO + Wax Spray | Fast deployment; trucks arrive operational; cost-effective for fleets of 10+ units |
| Mining operators (remote) | Flat Rack + Wax | Accommodates modified suspensions; secure transport over rough seas |
| Government fleet renewal | RO-RO (batched) | High throughput; rapid turnaround at destination ports |
| Salvage/resale dealers | Flat Rack | Allows transport of non-functional units; maximizes cargo insurance recovery |
5. Compliance & Certification
All shipments comply with:
– IMO International Convention for Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) – Verified Gross Mass (VGM) for containers
– IMDG Code – Hazardous materials (batteries, fuels)
– Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT) – Security standards
– China Customs Export Declaration (Single Window System)
Wax application logs and pre-shipment inspection reports are archived for 5 years and available upon request.
6. Conclusion
For the export of used trucks from China, RO-RO shipping with industrial wax protection offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and reliability for operational fleets. Flat Rack containers are superior for non-operational or modified units requiring maximum structural security. Bulk Cargo is not recommended due to unacceptably high corrosion and damage risks.
SEA LION International recommends integrating wax spraying as a non-negotiable step in the pre-shipment protocol to ensure long-term asset integrity across all modalities.
