2 Answers
The actual fuel consumption of Dongfeng Tianlong Flagship 560 is approximately 40L per 100 kilometers. Here are the detailed specifications of this vehicle: Basic parameters: Equipped with Volvo 14-speed gearbox and ZF 16-speed transmission, the rear axle is Dongfeng 440 maintenance-free double rear axle with a speed ratio ranging from 2.65 to 4.1, standard with inter-axle differential lock and inter-wheel differential lock. The vehicle's self-weight is as low as 8.8T, with a maximum permissible towing mass of up to 40 tons, and a top speed of over 110Km/h. Engine: Fitted with Cummins ISZ 13-liter engine, with a maximum horsepower of 560Ps and torque up to 2640Nm, capable of adapting to a wider range of working conditions, meeting the power requirements for various scenarios such as starting, accelerating, climbing, and overtaking.
To be honest, I've driven the Dongfeng Tianlong Flagship 560 a few times, and the real fuel consumption is around 30 liters per 100 kilometers, but this depends on many factors. When empty, it can drop to about 25 liters, but when fully loaded or climbing hills, it can soar above 40 liters. The key is the road conditions—steady driving on highways saves fuel, while city traffic jams waste more. Engine maintenance also has a huge impact; timely oil changes and air filter checks can reduce fuel consumption by about 5%. Driving habits matter too—avoid frequent sudden acceleration or idling, and maintain a steady speed. For safety, control your speed on highways—don’t overspeed to save fuel or drive while fatigued. I recommend using a fuel gauge to test your usage or getting a professional inspection at a repair shop to check your vehicle's condition.
