Wide-body dump truck has developed rapidly in China in the recent years butthematching engines are usually enginesfor general trucks, showing lots of non-adaptive issues.
Since 2008, focusing on wide-body dump trucks’application and working environment, Weichai made a lot of optimization according to the vehicle structure, power matching requirements, engine performanceand the structure, such as the ribbed structure, WPM electric dust filter, special fuel-water separator, two-stage oil pump and high flow oil filters, and then finallylaunchedthe unique engines for wide-body dumps.
From 2011 to 2012, aiming at some new problems and needs from the market, Weichai carried out further product improvement and development and launchedwide-body dump truck power covering diesel engines and gas engines.
Wide-body dump truck operating conditions
The work area is usually the open pit, with lot of dust and heat which are difficult to disperse.
The environment is complex, which always involvesextreme high temperature, extreme low temperature andextreme high altitude.
Lots of dust containing metal powder.
Lots of ramps andcurves, steep slope, poor road conditionsand high vehicle vibration.
The general operating conditions can be divided into: wait for loading - overloading uphill –Load-off–empty-loading downhill
3km-5km Transport distance is relatively short.The one-way distance is generally 3km-5km.
Application: transport of soil residue and a small amount of metallic minerals.
