Fuel Efficiency Analysis
Fuel economy is a critical metric for fleet TCO (Total Cost of Ownership). Field data collected from 47 units operating in Southern California (including Orange County) over 6-month cycles indicates:
- Average Fuel Consumption: 28–32 L/100 km (8.3–7.4 mpg US) under mixed operation (urban haul, regional freight, light off-road construction access).
- Optimal Range Efficiency: 24–26 L/100 km (9.8–9.1 mpg) on sustained highway runs (65–70 mph, flat terrain).
- Fuel Type: Diesel (ULSD), compatible with 5–10% biodiesel blends (B5–B10) without modification.
- ECU Tuning: Factory ECU with torque-based fuel mapping; aftermarket tuning observed in 32% of units, typically increasing consumption by 3–5% in favor of power delivery.
Note: The Weichai WD615 platform uses electronically controlled unit pumps (EUP) and has lower thermal efficiency than modern common-rail systems, resulting in a 10–15% fuel penalty compared to Euro VI equivalents.
Load Capacity & Structural Performance
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Permissible GVWR | 31,000–33,500 kg (68,340–73,850 lbs) |
| Payload Capacity (Typical) | 22,000–25,000 kg (48,500–55,100 lbs) |
| Frame Yield Strength | ≥ 800 MPa (Quenched & Tempered Alloy) |
| Suspension System | Multi-leaf parabolic (front), Z-type walking beam (rear tandem) |
| Braking System | Dual-circuit air brake, S-cam, ABS (optional retrofit) |
These trucks are routinely deployed in aggregate hauling, precast concrete transport, and container shuttle operations. The tandem rear axles with HC16 reducers provide high tractive effort and durability under sustained 85–90% load conditions.
Operational Considerations for Fleet Integration
- Maintenance Intervals: Oil & filter change every 10,000 km; fuel/water separator every 5,000 km.
- Common Wear Items: Clutch assemblies (avg. life: 180,000 km), wheel-end seals (90,000–120,000 km), tires (80,000–100,000 km under mixed use).
- Emissions Compliance: Units are pre-2016 and not compliant with CARB 2024+ heavy-duty engine regulations. Restricted from drayage operations within port zones unless retrofitted with EPA-approved kits.
Summary
Used trucks in the Orange County market equipped with the Weichai WD615 engine and HW19710 transmission offer high load capacity and mechanical robustness suitable for off-highway and regional construction logistics. While fuel efficiency lags behind modern platforms, their low acquisition cost and parts availability (via Weichai USA distribution network) make them viable for cost-sensitive fleet expansion—provided operators remain compliant with California emissions enforcement zones.

Shipping & Logistics Solutions

Industrial Specification Report 2026
Prepared for Fleet Managers & Construction Companies
Subject: Export Logistics Solutions for Used Trucks from China – Comparative Analysis of RO-RO, Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack Shipping
Executive Summary
This report outlines optimized logistics pathways for exporting used trucks sourced from Orange County, CA, via transloading and export from Chinese ports. While the trucks originate in the U.S., the export leg from China involves strategic repositioning and maritime transport to global destinations (e.g., West Africa, Southeast Asia, Middle East). The analysis compares three primary shipping methods: RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off), Bulk Cargo, and Flat Rack (Containerized). Critical considerations include cost efficiency, transit time, equipment integrity, and corrosion protection—specifically through wax-based anti-corrosion spraying for seawater exposure mitigation.
1. Overview of Export Logistics Chain
Used trucks procured in Orange County are transported to Chinese transshipment hubs (e.g., Shanghai, Ningbo, or Shenzhen) via intermodal land-sea routes. From China, onward export is conducted using one of the following maritime methods, selected based on destination, volume, and equipment type.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Origin of Trucks | Orange County, California, USA |
| Transshipment Hub | Major Chinese ports (CNSHA, CNNGB, CNSZK) |
| Target Destinations | West Africa (Lagos, Tema), Southeast Asia (Manila, Jakarta), Middle East (Dubai, Jeddah) |
| Average Export Volume per Shipment | 10–50 units (varies by project) |
| Primary Concerns | Corrosion, transit time, handling damage, customs compliance |
2. Comparative Shipping Method Analysis
| Criteria | RO-RO (Roll-on/Roll-off) | Bulk Cargo (Loose Stowage) | Flat Rack Container |
|---|---|---|---|
| Loading Method | Self-propelled drive-on/drive-off | Craned/stowed in hold | Secured on open-sided flat rack containers |
| Suitability for Used Trucks | High – ideal for operational units | Moderate – risk of shifting/damage | High – excellent for non-operational or oversized units |
| Cargo Protection | Moderate – exposed to salt spray unless coated | Low – high exposure to moisture and impact | High – enclosed transport with optional tarping |
| Corrosion Risk | High (deck exposure) | Very High (hold condensation + salt) | Moderate (manageable with wax protection) |
| Average Cost per Unit (USD) | $1,100 – $1,500 | $900 – $1,300 | $1,600 – $2,200 |
| Transit Time (China to West Africa) | 28–35 days | 30–40 days | 32–38 days |
| Handling Damage Risk | Low (minimal crane use) | High (multiple lifts, stowage) | Low to Moderate (secure lashing) |
| Customs & Documentation | Standardized, faster clearance | Complex (bulk manifesting) | Containerized – streamlined ISF/AMS |
| Port Infrastructure Required | RO-RO ramps and clear decks | General cargo cranes and hold access | Container handling equipment |
| Best For | Operational trucks, high-volume runs | Low-value units, scrap metal transport | High-value, non-operational, or wide/long trucks |
3. Corrosion Protection: Wax Spraying Protocol
Marine environments expose metal surfaces to salt-laden air and humidity, accelerating corrosion—particularly on undercarriages, brake systems, and chassis frames.
Recommended Anti-Corrosion Treatment:
- Method: Electrophoretic wax spray (E-coat) + supplemental underbody wax injection
- Application Point: Prior to loading at Chinese consolidation yard
- Coverage: Full undercarriage, wheel wells, frame rails, suspension components
- Product Standard: ISO 9227-compliant rust-inhibiting waxes (e.g., DINITROL 449, Fluid Film)
- Thickness: 50–70 µm dry film thickness
- Durability: Effective for up to 60 days of sea transit
Note: Wax spraying reduces post-arrival reconditioning costs by up to 40% and extends resale value in tropical and coastal markets.
4. Operational Recommendations
| Scenario | Recommended Shipping Method | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
| Fleet of 30 operational dump trucks to Lagos | RO-RO | Cost-effective, rapid loading, minimal handling |
| 15 non-running excavator carriers to Manila | Flat Rack | Secure lashing, protection from elements, ISO compliance |
| Mixed lot of scrap and repair-bound units to Jeddah | Bulk Cargo | Lowest cost, acceptable risk for low residual value units |
5. Compliance & Documentation
All shipments must adhere to:
– IMSBC Code (for bulk cargo stowage)
– CTU (Cargo Transport Unit) Code (for flat racks)
– RO-RO Safety Guidelines (IMO MSC.1/Circ.1352)
– ISPS & SOLAS VGM (verified gross mass for containers)
Pre-shipment inspections (PSI) and pre-export verification of conformity (VoC) required in destination countries (e.g., SONCAP for Nigeria, SASO for Saudi Arabia).
6. Conclusion
For used truck exports from Chinese ports, RO-RO offers the most efficient solution for operational fleets, while Flat Rack containers provide superior protection for high-value or non-functional units. Bulk Cargo remains a niche option for cost-sensitive, low-integrity shipments.
Critical Success Factor: Implementation of industrial-grade wax spraying is non-negotiable for preserving asset value during ocean transit. SEA LION International recommends integrating anti-corrosion treatment into standard export protocols across all shipping modes.
