What is the fuel consumption of the Jiangling Shunda mini truck with a 3.7-meter cargo bed?

Generally around 10 liters per 100 kilometers. Below is relevant information: Fuel Consumption: Fuel consumption generally refers to the constant-speed fuel consumption. Constant-speed fuel consumption is the vehicle's fuel consumption per 100 kilometers obtained in the constant-speed driving fuel consumption test specified by national standards for certain types of vehicles. Jiangling Shunda: The Jiangling Shunda is a light truck product positioned as "practicality first." It indeed achieves the level of high-end light trucks in terms of core components such as the engine, transmission, and chassis, while omitting some comfort features, thus giving the vehicle a high cost-performance ratio. Structural Performance: The cab exterior follows the classic design of JMC light trucks, with improvements made to the front grille and the addition of an anti-collision beam on the inner side. It is equipped with a Jiangling 4JB1 diesel turbocharged engine, which provides strong power, good acceleration performance, and strong climbing ability. The empty vehicle can reach a maximum speed of 110 km/h, demonstrating outstanding power performance among light trucks.
I've been a freight driver for over two years, mainly operating a 3.7-meter JMC Shunda. Normally carrying 2 tons of cargo in urban areas, the fuel consumption is around 9.5 liters per 100 kilometers. When running empty on highways, it can drop to just over 8 liters. Actually, this truck's fuel efficiency largely depends on load weight and driving habits - aggressive acceleration and braking will definitely push consumption beyond 10 liters. The 55-liter fuel tank gives about 600 kilometers range, working out to roughly 0.7 yuan per kilometer. I recommend keeping the cargo area clear of unnecessary items, regularly cleaning the air filter, and maintaining the engine well - these are crucial. Running AC in summer adds about half a liter to consumption - don't underestimate this difference.
Having driven trucks for fifteen years, I find the JMC Shunda light truck to be relatively fuel-efficient. The 3.7-meter cargo box version with a 493 engine gives me a combined fuel consumption of 8.3 liters. During morning urban deliveries with heavy traffic, it can go up to over 9 liters, while in the evening with smooth roads, it drops to just over 7 liters. Maintaining tire pressure at 3.0 is the most fuel-efficient. Loading three tons of cargo can sharply increase fuel consumption to 11 liters. The most economical driving method is maintaining a steady speed of 60 km/h. Last month, I tried not exceeding 80 km/h for the entire trip, and one tank of fuel lasted over seventy kilometers more than usual.
I bought this mini truck last year and was shocked by the initial fuel consumption of 11L/100km, thinking I got a problematic vehicle. Later, an experienced driver taught me not to stomp on the accelerator when starting and to anticipate deceleration in advance. Now it's stabilized at 8.8L/100km. After the first maintenance, it dropped noticeably by 0.5L – gear oil is crucial. Winter fuel consumption tends to be higher, but don't warm up the engine for more than three minutes. For daily furniture hauling, it costs about 0.65 yuan per kilometer, more economical than a minivan. Just avoid long-term full-load operation on mountain roads.
