GAC Hino used the Japanese Hino 700 heavy truck platform, which is different from other domestic heavy trucks. Although some domestic high-end heavy trucks are equipped with imported technology engines or large-displacement domestically produced engines, the entire heavy-duty truck platform is only upgraded on the original basis or upgraded on the old Steyr platform.
GAC Hino assembled a German ZF16S1650 gearbox with a 16-speed multi-gear design that made the speed ratio smaller and matched the engine with high efficiency. ZF 16-speed transmission and domestic 16-speed products are not a concept at all. It uses a full synchronizer design and a half-block design, which greatly simplifies the operation, and the operation is close to the ordinary 8-speed transmission. The feeling of light weight greatly reduces the driver's fatigue strength, reduces the chance of misoperation, and makes the vehicle run smoothly.
The engine of GAC Hino's tractor has adopted the 11-liter high-displacement Shanghai Hino P11C engine with a maximum power of 380 horsepower and a maximum torque of 1600 Nm, which is equal to the domestic 12-liter engine's power and torque. It is understood that the Shanghai Hino P11C engine is mainly produced using CKD components. The core components of the whole machine are mainly imported, which is enough to ensure that the Shanghai Hino P11C has the same excellent quality as the Japanese imported machine. In the idle state of the engine, the stable speed is only 500 rpm, which is lower than that of any domestic engine of the same class. At this time, the engine runs smoothly and the noise is very low. There is not much vibration in the cab.
The rear axle's main reducer is imported from Japan, and the other parts are produced by Dongfeng Dana Axle in accordance with the Hino technical standards, ensuring the high quality of the drive axle. At the same time, the reduction ratio of 3.9 provides a guarantee for higher economical speed and lower fuel consumption. Although some axle manufacturers in China have 3.43 and 3.73 small-speed rear axles, they are rarely used in actual loading. Some companies have used broken gears and teeth since they were put into use. Therefore, domestic heavy-duty trucks have driven axle speeds. The ratio is basically above 4.0.
In the process of driving, the engine speed is at 1500 rpm, and the vehicle speed is just 90km/h. At this speed, the vehicle is the most fuel-efficient. If the engine speed is less than 1500 rpm, there will be a sense of drag, and after more than 1600 rpm, the vehicle will be a little oily. This is a fuel-saving tip for users to find out.
Under conditions of flat road conditions, the driver can shift gears at a speed of 1400 rpm; when he reaches the mountains, he should try to keep around 1600 rpm. However, the speed of 1,500 rpm can reach a speed of 90km/h, which is already a very good performance on the expressway. The economic speed of domestic high-end heavy trucks is generally around 80km/h, so that GAC Hino tractors surpass some highways. Domestic cars are a very easy thing to do, and they can reach their destinations earlier than they are in the most fuel-efficient case, achieving higher efficiency of the entire vehicle; and for imported cars, as long as the speed is set to 1600 rpm, the speed is over 100km/. h. It is not difficult to chase them.
For a high-end heavy truck with imported quality, GAC Hino is a leader in domestic brand heavy trucks in terms of brand recognition, reliability, and economy. Its empty car consumes less than 20 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers, and the standard fuel consumption of heavy vehicles is only 30 liters. The vehicle price of about 400,000 yuan is more than 100,000 yuan more expensive than other domestic heavy trucks, but after one or two years of use, it will fully recover the cost of its investment in domestic heavy trucks. For imported heavy trucks with more than 800,000 yuan, each bike can be exchanged for two Guangqi Hino heavy trucks. Perhaps GAC Hino has a little more fuel consumption than imported cars, but at present, domestic consumers mostly purchase cars by means of consumer credit, and the difference is 400,000 yuan. The bank loan interest can completely offset the fuel consumption gap.
In general, GAC Hino is a high-efficiency heavy truck, which is particularly suitable for the current domestic demand for high-end and high-speed logistics companies. More and more GAC Hino dangerous goods transport vehicles and container tractors are riding on the highways in the north and south of the river. This is the best recognition of GAC Hino.
