Why do engineering vehicles like to use WEICHAI engines?

17 Jan 2024

Weichai Power has always enjoyed a high reputation in the field of engineering vehicles. Starting from the earliest Weichai WD615 equipped with Steyr, and now the application of the entire series of engines in engineering vehicles, Weichai is used in dumping, slag, etc.


So what kind of performance does Weichai Power have that can be so recognized by truck users? For this reason, we also interviewed a logistics company to hear what they had to say.



The models used by the fleets interviewed are all SHACMAN F3000 dump truck. This model uses the three major combinations of Weichai + Fast + MAN, which is known as the "golden power chain" in the industry. The captain of the team said that the first thing to pay attention to when buying a car is the power chain of the car. Weichai engines have long been known for their reputation in tractors, and SHACMAN's power chain is also known for its durability. It is suitable for those who work in harsh road conditions for a long time. For dump trucks, it is a perfect choice.


In addition, the SHACMAN F3000 dump truck purchased by the company has never had problems such as engine oil leakage, supercharger damage, or unstable operation under load conditions in the past two years of service, and has always maintained full availability.



The model chosen by the team is Weichai WP10.380E22 engine with a displacement of 9.726L and 380HP. The maximum torque of the engine can reach 1600N.m. The maximum torque of the engine is between 1500rpm and 1800rpm.


The bore stroke of Weichai WP10 is 116mm x 130mm. Compared with the WP10 model, the stroke is increased, which also means that the low-speed torque of the vehicle is stronger, which is very important for engineering vehicles.



The advantage of power is not only reflected in work efficiency. Dump trucks often come in and out of construction sites. With stronger power, it is easier to deal with daily situations such as walking on soft roads and getting stuck. The driver said that the low-speed and high-torque characteristics of Weichai WP10 can easily get out of the vehicle when the vehicle is slightly stuck, which not only improves driving safety, but also does not cause excessive damage to the clutch.


It can be seen that Weichai's popularity among engineering vehicle customers is inseparable from its strong power and reliable quality. Engines that can maintain high attendance rates and high performance under harsh working conditions are what engineering vehicles need most. Of course, in addition to dump trucks, Weichai Power also has outstanding performance in logistics vehicles, special vehicles, buses and other fields!
