What is the fuel consumption of a 9.6-meter truck?
2 Answers
9.6-meter truck fuel consumption when fully loaded is approximately between 28 to 35 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is an introduction related to 9.6-meter trucks: 1. Fuel consumption: (1) Fuel consumption depends on the driver's driving habits and road conditions. If driving on highways with high average speeds, the vehicle will be more fuel-efficient. If driving on difficult mountainous roads, fuel consumption will be higher. (2) The truck's fuel consumption depends on the weight of the cargo. Overloading not only increases fuel consumption but also damages the vehicle and is not conducive to driving safety. 2. Hazards of overloading: (1) It increases the burden on the engine and transmission system. Long-term overloading can reduce the lifespan of the engine and transmission system. (2) It can cause metal fatigue in the truck frame, and in severe cases, may lead to fractures or deformation. (3) It can extend the braking distance, potentially causing serious traffic accidents in emergency situations.
I've driven a 9.6-meter box truck for five years, and this issue needs to be analyzed separately. Empty on the highway, it consumes about 18-22 liters per 100 kilometers, but fully loaded with 15 tons on national roads, it can jump to 30 liters. Last time from Guangzhou to Changsha, with the AC on and carrying 10 tons of general merchandise, the gauge showed 27.8 liters. The veteran fleet driver said not to rely solely on the dashboard; the most accurate method is dividing actual fuel consumption by mileage. My truck is equipped with a Weichai 270-horsepower engine, maintained with full synthetic oil. Before every trip, I check the tire pressure, and keeping it at the standard value year-round can save half a liter. I recommend beginners get a fuel consumption monitor; if it exceeds 25 liters, check the air filter and fuel injectors.
