Three-year super-million-kilometer durable test Jiangling heavy truck equipped with Ford power is about to attack strongly

There were many new cars for road tests in Heihe in the early spring. Among them was a team of heavy-duty mosaics that attracted attention and was full of mystery. This is the Jiangling heavy truck that will soon be launched at the Shanghai Auto Show.

This team's "mysterious knight" is not the first time to experience this limit test. As early as 2014, Jiangling Heavy Trucks began a three-year high-intensity test.

Comparing with Mercedes Actros for over three million years of testing

Although the Jiangling heavy truck has not yet been listed, its operating mileage has exceeded 10 million kilometers, and it has exceeded the endurance test of 1 million kilometers. It has been to the coldest river in Heihe, the hottest Turpan and other places, and experienced “uncommon” challenge.

Firstly, in the development phase, Jiangling invested as many as tens of durable test vehicles. The cumulative test mileage of the vehicle exceeded 13.5 million kilometers. In 2014, Jiangling Heavy Trucks began a high-strength endurance test at the Dingyuan test site. The number of experimental vehicles was as many as 14 and the durability test mileage exceeded 1.2 million kilometers. In the hot summer of 2016, Jiangling Heavy Trucks completed the high temperature calibration test in Turpan, which was at a high temperature of 45 degrees Celsius; in the early spring of 2017, Jiangling Heavy Trucks came to Heihe again. Accept the extreme cold challenge.

It is understood that Jiangling Heavy Truck is a JMC brand new heavy truck type developed by JMC with the Ford Cargo heavy truck as its prototype and developed for the domestic market and working conditions. It uses the latest generation of European Ford heavy truck technology, cab, engine, and chassis are all derived from the mature Ford Cargo heavy truck platform. In respect of the vehicle manufacturing process, Jiangling Heavy Trucks fully complies with Ford's standard product development process (GPDS) and is led by Ford experts. The Chinese and foreign engineers work together to meet the Ford QOS quality operating system standards, and are reliable, durable, and fuel-efficient.

It can be said that this is a high starting point, high standards of the model, even if the new generation of European trucks as the benchmark model, no less. Such a model, in the face of various extreme challenges, is naturally a piece of cake.

Taking the latest example as an example, in this year's extreme cold test, three Jiangling heavy trucks continued testing from 4 am to 4 pm in the local temperature of minus 30 degrees Celsius. The main test items included the testing field in the Red River Valley. Uninterrupted high-speed driving on the circular track to test the smoothness and stability of the vehicle, as well as the condition of the vehicle starting in extremely cold conditions and various difficult project tests.

As for Jiangling's "three highs," the ultimate challenge results, or take a look at the first commercial vehicle network Xiaobian latest first-hand information and data!

It is easy to start at minus 30 degrees. It measures 100 kilometers with low fuel consumption.

Judging from the dynamic performance, Jiangling Heavy Truck can really be said to be a machine that is not afraid of the cold. In the environment of minus 30 degrees in Heihe, no auxiliary device is required after standing for one day, and it can be easily started, and the temperature in the cab can be guaranteed to be no lower than 20 degrees Celsius.

The first commercial vehicle network learned that the extremely cold test model is equipped with a 13L engine. According to the test data, at a full load of 49 tons, it is about 18% lower than similar competing products.

Safety and stability appraisal

In terms of stability testing, Jiangling Heavy Truck Co., Ltd. responds to ice and snow, turning and braking tests, and has a good handling experience. The heavy truck is equipped with a chassis adjusted by the Ford technical team and matched with the Bosch steering gear, which allows the vehicle to bend and support the vehicle in place. It has good driving smoothness, outstanding steering performance and good vehicle stability.

How comfortable is it? Speak with measured data

Xiao Bian noticed that Jiangling Heavy Trucks had very good control over engine vibration and noise. This is evidenced by data -

The field test results show that the seat's vibration is lower than the average value of 30% at the moment the engine is started or turned off, the seat vibration at the idle state is lower than the average value of 75%, the steering wheel vibration is lower than the average value of 80%, and the noise inside the cab is low during cruise. At an average of 10%.

Whether it is the tightness of the cab or the comfort of driving, these data have been well verified. (Suddenly wanted to open it up by himself. Is there wood?)

More surprises to be experienced by users

Are these all? of course not.

Jiangling heavy trucks have more configuration without "exposure", waiting for users to experience it.

Has it begun to look forward to a close contact with Jiangling Heavy Trucks?

At the Shanghai Auto Show in 2017, let's take a look at the Jiangling Heavy Truck Booth!
