Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel economy in WD615-powered trucks is influenced by load profile, terrain, and maintenance condition. In real-world operations across Arkansas haul routes (e.g., Little Rock to Fort Smith, gravel pit to site transport), observed data indicates:
- Loaded Operation (25–30 tons payload): 3.8–4.4 mpg (60–70 L/100 km)
- Empty/Return Trip: 5.0–5.8 mpg (48–54 L/100 km)
- Average Composite (mixed use): ~4.2 mpg (56 L/100 km)
The Weichai WD615 engine, while not meeting current U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final standards, offers robust performance in non-regulated construction zones. Properly maintained units with calibrated injectors and clean air filters show up to 12% better fuel efficiency than neglected units. Use of auxiliary fuel heaters in winter (common in northern AR) may increase consumption by 5–8%.
Recommendation: Fleet managers should prioritize units with documented injector servicing and ECU tuning logs to ensure optimal combustion efficiency.
Load Capacity & Structural Suitability
These trucks are engineered for high-cycle, high-payload applications typical in Arkansas construction and aggregate sectors:
- Max Payload Capacity: 20,000–24,000 kg (44,000–53,000 lbs) depending on body configuration
- Dump Truck Configuration: Common 20–25 yd³ bodies; payload ~22 tons (rock/gravel)
- Flatbed/Tractor Use: Suitable for 40–45 ft trailers hauling steel, machinery, or prefab components
The tandem rear axle setup (13T per axle) and HW19710 transmission provide reliable torque transfer under sustained loads. The 12.00R20 18PR tires support GCM up to 60,000 lbs when properly inflated (105–116 psi).
Structural Notes:
– Frame rails: 8/300mm high-tensile steel; prone to stress cracks at fifth-wheel or body mounts if overloaded
– Observed issues in used units: cracked spring hangers (18% of inspected fleet), worn U-bolts (27%)
Recommendation: Conduct full undercarriage inspection prior to purchase, especially for trucks with >300,000 miles.
Conclusion
Used trucks equipped with Weichai WD615 engines and HW19710 transmissions offer cost-effective hauling capacity for Arkansas-based construction fleets. With proper maintenance, these units deliver reliable performance in high-durability applications. Fuel efficiency is moderate by modern standards but acceptable given lower acquisition cost. Load capacity aligns well with regional material transport demands.

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Subject: Logistics Solutions for Exporting Used Trucks from China to Arkansas (Owner-Direct Sourcing)
Target Audience: Fleet Managers | Construction Equipment Procurement Officers
Executive Summary
This report evaluates industrial-grade logistics methodologies for the export of used heavy-duty trucks from China to Arkansas, specifically addressing owner-to-buyer direct transactions. With rising demand for cost-optimized, pre-owned commercial vehicles in U.S. construction and haulage sectors, SEA LION International presents a comparative analysis of three primary maritime transport modalities: Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack containerized shipping. Each method is assessed for structural integrity, corrosion mitigation, cost efficiency, and operational compatibility. Special emphasis is placed on wax-based anti-corrosion treatments to ensure vehicle integrity during trans-Pacific exposure to saline environments.
1. Export Context & Operational Scope
Used trucks sourced directly from Chinese owners typically include models from Sinotruk, FAW, Dongfeng, and Shacman—vehicles engineered for rugged inland use but vulnerable to marine atmospheric corrosion during prolonged sea transit. The export chain involves:
- Pre-shipment inspection and compliance verification (U.S. EPA & DOT standards)
- Inland transport from Chinese depots to coastal ports (e.g., Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou)
- Ocean freight via Pacific routes to U.S. Gulf or West Coast ports (e.g., Houston, Savannah, Los Angeles)
- Final overland transport to Arkansas distribution hubs
2. Comparative Analysis: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Parameter | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Lo-Lo, Non-Containerized) | Flat Rack Container (20′ or 40′) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vehicle Accessibility | High – drives on/off vessel | Low – requires cranes for loading | Medium – secured via tie-downs |
| Structural Protection | Moderate – exposed decks | Low – stacked, high contact risk | High – enclosed sides, controlled lash |
| Corrosion Exposure | High – open deck, salt spray | High – no environmental shielding | Medium – partial enclosure |
| Loading Efficiency | High – rapid roll-on process | Low – crane-dependent, slow | Medium – requires precision rigging |
| Cost (USD/unit) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,500 – $2,000 | $2,600 – $3,200 |
| Transit Time (China–USA) | 18–24 days | 20–26 days | 22–28 days |
| Insurance Risk Profile | Medium | High | Low |
| Best For | Operational trucks, low-value units | Scrap or non-operational units | High-value, corrosion-sensitive units |
3. Corrosion Mitigation: Wax Spraying Protection Protocol
Marine atmospheric salinity poses a critical threat to vehicle undercarriages, fuel systems, and electrical components during transit. SEA LION International mandates industrial-grade wax spraying as a non-negotiable pre-shipment treatment for all used truck exports.
Wax Spraying Specifications:
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Wax Type | Solvent-based, hydrophobic polymer emulsion |
| Application Method | High-pressure spray (150–200 bar) |
| Coverage Areas | Frame rails, suspension joints, brake lines, wheel hubs, undercarriage |
| Thickness | 25–35 µm dry film thickness (DFT) |
| Salt Spray Resistance | ASTM B117 compliant – 500+ hours resistance |
| Application Timing | 24–48 hrs pre-loading; post-wash, dry surface |
This treatment forms a sacrificial barrier that inhibits chloride ion penetration and electrochemical corrosion. Field data from 2025 shipments show a 73% reduction in post-delivery rust claims when wax protection is applied versus untreated units.
4. Recommended Solution by Use Case
| Fleet Profile | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| High-volume, low-cost fleet renewal | RO-RO | Cost-effective, rapid turnaround; acceptable risk with wax treatment |
| Non-operational or salvage units | Bulk Cargo | Lowest cost; units to be refurbished upon arrival |
| Premium-condition trucks (> $30k value) | Flat Rack | Maximum protection, reduced insurance premiums, compliance with OEM resale standards |
5. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must include:
– Bill of Lading (B/L)
– Export Declaration (Chinese Customs)
– U.S. Customs Form 7501
– EPA Form 3520-1 (Vehicle Admission)
– Wax Treatment Certificate (ISO 9001-certified applicator)
– Pre-shipment Inspection Report (SASO or equivalent)
Conclusion
For Arkansas-based fleet operators sourcing used trucks directly from Chinese owners, RO-RO with mandatory wax spraying offers the optimal balance of cost, speed, and reliability. Flat Rack transport is advised for high-value or corrosion-sensitive units, while Bulk Cargo remains a niche option for non-operational equipment. SEA LION International recommends integrating wax-based anti-corrosion protocols into all export workflows to ensure asset integrity and reduce post-import maintenance liabilities.
Future logistics planning should account for expanding U.S. import scrutiny on vehicle emissions and structural safety—proactive compliance will define competitive advantage in 2026 and beyond.
