What kind of engine is the Maxus T60 diesel engine?
2 Answers
Maxus T60 is equipped with SAIC Motor's VM2.8T diesel engine, which adopts VGT variable geometry turbocharging technology and BOSCH third-generation high-pressure common rail direct fuel injection technology. Introduction to diesel engines: A diesel engine is an engine that burns diesel fuel to obtain energy release. It was invented in 1892 by German inventor Rudolf Diesel. To commemorate this inventor, diesel is named after his surname 'Diesel', and diesel engines are also called Diesel engines. Advantages of diesel engines: Diesel engines have the advantages of high power and good economic performance. The working process of a diesel engine has many similarities with that of a gasoline engine, with each working cycle also going through four strokes: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. However, since diesel engines use diesel fuel, which has higher viscosity than gasoline and is less volatile, and its autoignition temperature is lower than that of gasoline, the formation of combustible mixture and ignition method are different from those of gasoline engines.
I've been driving the Maxus T60 pickup for a while now, and I find its diesel engine quite reliable. It's the 2.8-liter turbocharged model, specifically the SC28M series, which offers ample power and good fuel efficiency. In city driving, it consumes about 8-9 liters per 100 kilometers, and on the highway, it can drop to around 7 liters. It doesn't falter even when hauling cargo up hills. The engine's noise insulation is average, especially during cold starts when it can be a bit loud, but once on the move, noise control is decent, and there's minimal seat vibration. In terms of durability, after 30,000 kilometers, I've only needed to change the oil and filters, with replacement parts being affordable, costing around 400-500 RMB. I recommend using high-quality diesel to avoid impurities clogging the system. Maintenance is straightforward and hassle-free, making it a great choice for those who frequently work on construction sites.
