Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel economy is a critical metric for fleet TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Based on telemetry data from 47 monitored units operating in the Memphis region (urban and regional haul cycles), the following fuel efficiency benchmarks were recorded:
- Average Fuel Consumption:
- Loaded (30–35 tons): 2.8–3.2 km/L (6.6–7.5 MPG)
-
Empty / Light Load: 3.4–3.8 km/L (8.0–8.9 MPG)
-
Fuel Type: #0 Diesel (ULSD), B5 Compatible
- Fuel Tank Capacity: Dual Tanks (400 L + 300 L) = 700 L (185 gal)
- Estimated Range: 1,500–2,100 km (930–1,300 miles) depending on load and terrain
The Weichai WD615 engine, while not meeting latest EPA 2027 standards, demonstrates robust combustion efficiency under sustained load. Integrated Bosch HP fuel system and electronically controlled unit pumps (ECUP) contribute to reliable metering. Units with updated ECU calibrations (post-2020) show up to 6% improvement in fuel economy over early-generation models.
Load Capacity & Structural Integrity
These trucks are routinely deployed in aggregate hauling, precast concrete transport, and heavy equipment movement. Key load-bearing features include:
- Payload Capacity: 28,000–32,000 kg (61,700–70,500 lbs) typical
- Frame Reinforcement: Additional crossmembers at fifth wheel and suspension mounts
- Fifth Wheel Rating: Jost 2″ kingpin, 20-ton (40,000 lbs) minimum rating
- Suspension Options:
- Front: Parabolic leaf with hydraulic shock absorbers
- Rear: Multi-leaf tandem with walking beam (off-road spec), or Z-leaf (highway spec)
Units inspected in Memphis show average frame deflection of <3 mm over 3 m span, indicating minimal torsional stress. Corrosion levels are moderate (ASTM G1-03 Class B) due to road salt exposure in winter transit corridors.
Operational Recommendations
- Ideal Use Cases:
- Regional heavy hauling (≤500-mile radius)
- On-site material transport (quarries, construction zones)
-
Backup or surge capacity for primary fleets
-
Maintenance Considerations:
- Monitor EGR cooler integrity (known failure point in high-idle applications)
- HW19710 transmission requires 15W-40 CI-4+ oil; inspect shift forks at 180,000 km
-
Retread compatibility: 12.00R20 bias-ply tires show higher casing durability in off-road use
-
Resale Value Retention:
- Average depreciation: 14–16% per annum
- Units with documented service history command 12–18% premium
