Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel economy in trucks equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission is influenced by load profile, terrain, and driving habits. In regional construction and aggregate hauling cycles (typical in Arkansas operations), observed fuel efficiency ranges:
- Loaded (40–50 ft trailer, 40,000–50,000 lbs): 4.8 – 5.6 mpg (41.5 – 50.0 L/100km)
- Empty / Light Load: 6.0 – 7.0 mpg (33.6 – 40.0 L/100km)
- Average Mixed Cycle (Little Rock to Memphis/Nashville corridor): 5.2 mpg
The WD615 engine’s high compression ratio and Bosch electronic pump-line-nozzle (PLN) injection system contribute to stable combustion and lower-than-average soot accumulation in EGR-equipped variants. When maintained with clean fuel and regular DPF servicing (where applicable), these engines sustain fuel efficiency over 600,000 miles.
Note: Retrofitting with auxiliary air intakes and optimized tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS) has demonstrated up to 8% improvement in fuel economy in fleet trials.
Load Capacity & Operational Suitability
These trucks are routinely deployed in the following applications:
| Application | Typical Payload | Axle Configuration | Suitability |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aggregate Hauling | 25–30 tons | 6×4 Tandem Drive | Excellent; high torque at low RPM |
| Construction Equipment Transport | 20–28 tons | 6×4 w/ Gooseneck | High stability with proper weight distribution |
| Bulk Material Delivery | 22–26 tons | 6×4 w/ Side Dump | Compatible with PTO-driven systems |
| Long-Range Freight | 30–35 tons | 6×4 Tractor | Moderate; limited by comfort and emissions compliance |
The twin 13-ton rear axles and robust ladder frame (typically 300 mm high, 8–10 mm thick) support sustained operation at 85–90% of max GCVW. Load distribution must ensure front axle remains ≥15% of total weight to maintain steering control.
Conclusion
Used trucks in the Little Rock market featuring the Weichai WD615 engine, HW19710 transmission, and 12.00R20 tires present a cost-effective solution for construction fleets requiring high torque, proven load capacity, and low acquisition cost. With proper maintenance, these platforms reliably achieve 800,000+ miles. Fuel efficiency remains competitive within the used truck segment, particularly in medium-haul and on/off-road cycles common across Arkansas infrastructure projects.
Fleet managers are advised to inspect ECU logs, injector performance, and transmission synchro condition prior to acquisition. Availability of local Weichai service centers enhances long-term supportability.

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared by: SEA LION International – Senior Engineering Division
Subject: Export Logistics Solutions for Used Trucks (Little Rock Market) from China
Target Audience: Fleet Managers, Construction Equipment Procurement Officers
Executive Summary
This report evaluates three primary maritime logistics methods—RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack container shipping—for the export of used trucks from Chinese ports to end destinations serving the Little Rock, AR, inland market. The analysis focuses on cost-efficiency, structural integrity, transit time, and corrosion protection, with specific emphasis on wax-based anti-corrosion treatments to mitigate seawater exposure risks.
1. Export Logistics Overview
Used trucks sourced from Chinese surplus fleets present a cost-competitive alternative for U.S. construction companies and fleet operators. Efficient and secure transportation from Chinese ports (e.g., Shanghai, Qingdao, Guangzhou) to U.S. Gulf Coast ports (e.g., Houston, New Orleans) is critical. Final delivery to Little Rock is typically executed via overland transport from port of entry.
Three dominant maritime shipping methods are assessed below:
| Method | Description | Suitability for Used Trucks |
|---|---|---|
| RO-RO | Vessels designed for wheeled cargo; trucks driven on/off | High – Ideal for operational units |
| Bulk Cargo | Unpacked cargo loaded directly into ship holds | Low – Not recommended for complete vehicles |
| Flat Rack | Open-sided containers for oversized or non-wheeled cargo | Medium – Suitable for inoperable or modified units |
2. Comparative Analysis: RO-RO vs. Bulk Cargo vs. Flat Rack
| Parameter | RO-RO Shipping | Bulk Cargo Shipping | Flat Rack Shipping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cargo Type | Operational, driveable trucks | Loose parts, scrap metal | Inoperable, oversized, or dismantled units |
| Loading Method | Roll-on/Roll-off via ramps | Crane-lifted or conveyor | Crane-lifted onto open frame |
| Protection Level | Moderate (exposed decks) | None (direct seawater contact) | Moderate (exposed, but secured) |
| Transit Time (China → U.S. Gulf) | 28–35 days | 30–40 days | 32–38 days |
| Port Handling Cost | Low | Very Low | Medium |
| Damage Risk | Low (if secured properly) | High | Medium (strapping critical) |
| Insurance Complexity | Standard | High (due to damage risk) | Moderate |
| Final Delivery Readiness | Immediate operation | Reassembly required | Inspection & prep needed |
| Cost (Per Truck, USD) | $1,800 – $2,400 | $1,200 – $1,600 (parts only) | $2,100 – $2,900 |
Note: Bulk cargo is not viable for complete truck units. It is included for comparative context and applies only to partial or scrap shipments.
3. Corrosion Protection Protocol: Wax Spraying System
Seawater exposure during transit poses a significant risk of corrosion to undercarriages, frames, and engine compartments—especially during prolonged voyages across the Pacific and Gulf of Mexico.
Recommended Protection: Industrial-Grade Wax Spraying
- Application Method: Electrostatic or pressure-assisted spray application pre-shipment
- Coverage Areas: Frame rails, suspension components, brake lines, fuel tanks, exhaust systems
- Wax Type: Solvent-based, hydrophobic polymer wax (e.g., Dinitrol AVS 90, Fluid Film)
- Thickness: 25–50 microns (measured via wet film gauge)
- Performance: Provides 6–12 months of saltwater resistance; self-healing properties under minor abrasion
Advantages:
- Reduces rust formation by up to 85% during marine transit
- Compatible with RO-RO and Flat Rack exposure conditions
- No disassembly required; applied in under 30 minutes per unit
- Cost: $80–$120 per truck (one-time application)
Compliance: Meets ISO 9223 Corrosion Classification C3 (Marine/Industrial Zones)
4. Recommended Shipping Strategy
| Truck Condition | Recommended Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Operational, driveable | RO-RO + Wax Spray | Fastest turnaround, lowest handling damage, cost-effective |
| Non-driveable, intact | Flat Rack + Wax Spray | Secure transport for damaged or non-functional units |
| Dismantled/Scrap | Bulk Cargo | Only for parts; not advised for complete vehicle resale |
5. Logistics Flow: China to Little Rock
6. Conclusion
For fleet managers and construction companies sourcing used trucks from China, RO-RO shipping with industrial wax spraying represents the optimal balance of cost, speed, and asset protection. Flat Rack is a viable alternative for non-operational units, while Bulk Cargo is unsuitable for complete vehicle exports.
SEA LION International recommends integrating wax-based anti-corrosion treatment into all export protocols to preserve resale value and ensure compliance with U.S. fleet durability standards.
