National VI new tractor models include: 1. JH6-6X4-LNG-460 horsepower National VI tractor: This model features a flat-floor high-roof cab with ample interior space and a mature, well-designed powertrain system, clearly showing that FAW Jiefang is prepared for the emission standard upgrade. 2. J6P-6X4-560 horsepower National VI tractor: In addition to basic configurations, it is equipped with ultrasonic sensors on the fuel tank bracket. When fuel thieves approach, the system will trigger audible and visual alarms, serving as an effective deterrent—a great benefit for truck drivers. 3. Howo N7G-LNG-6X4-480 horsepower National VI tractor: Its large-capacity gas tank enables a range of up to 2,300 kilometers. Moreover, the vehicle comes with a hydraulic retarder, making it a boon for drivers frequently operating in mountainous areas or engaged in long-distance transportation.

I've been driving long-haul trucks for over 30 years, and the variety of China VI tractors available now is truly impressive. Mainstream brands include FAW Jiefang's J6P and J7 series, Dongfeng Commercial Vehicle's Tianlong Flagship and Tianlong KX, Sinotruk's HOWO T7H and SITRAK, and Shacman's Delong X5000 and X3000. All these trucks meet the China VI-B standard with ultra-low emissions, but the after-treatment systems like DPF add several hundred pounds to the weight and slightly increase fuel consumption. The cabs are more comfortable now, and automatic transmissions are common - for example, Jiefang's AMT makes long drives much less tiring. When choosing a truck, I recommend test-driving on highways a few times and prioritizing brands with good local after-sales service networks to avoid breakdowns in remote areas. While environmental protection is good, the higher fuel requirements mean China VI diesel isn't cost-saving, and you'll need to keep urea solution handy to prevent warning lights.

From a technical perspective, China VI tractors are heavy-duty trucks equipped with China VI emission-compliant engines. Core models include the FAW JH6, Dongfeng Tianlong KL, Sinotruk HOWO T7, and Shacman Delong. The emission systems incorporate DOC and SCR aftertreatment devices to reduce PM and NOx pollution. Most engines use new models from Weichai or Yuchai, with horsepower ranging from 450 to 550. The advantage is compliance with environmental standards for urban commuting, while the drawback is more complicated maintenance requiring frequent ash cleaning to prevent clogging. Maintenance intervals are shortened to around 10,000 kilometers. It's recommended that beginners learn more diagnostic knowledge and avoid unauthorized electrical modifications to prevent issues.

In the freight industry, there are many popular China VI tractor models. FAW Jiefang J7 is selling well, starting at 500,000 RMB; Dongfeng Tianlong flagship offers high comfort; Sinotruk Shandeka is fuel-efficient on highways; Foton Auman GTL provides good cost performance. These vehicles comply with environmental regulations but have high maintenance costs. Choose a model based on your route: opt for high horsepower for long-distance hauling, and consider fuel-efficient models for short-distance trips.
