"Whether the vehicle is good or not, the engine is very critical. The Auman GTL heavy truck I drove before ran more than 700,000 kilometers in five years, and the three major parts of the whole vehicle were not overhauled. Now the 510-horsepower Auman EST is just as efficient and reliable. Why? Because the Foton Cummins engine is resistant to roughness and reliable performance, it is important to buy a car to choose the right engine. ”
Recently, when the editor of the first commercial vehicle network interviewed users in a logistics park in Shucheng County, Lu'an City, Anhui Province, he met a car owner who used Auman EST heavy trucks to transport large parts - Zhao Jinsheng (pseudonym), which was equipped with Foton Cummins engine, Zhao Jinsheng recognized this engine with high recognition, and told the story of Fukang Power helping it increase its income.

Running 225,000 kilometers a year, efficient attendance helps revenue growth
Zhao Jinsheng, 41 years old this year, was involved in the freight industry in 2006, has rich experience in the industry, and is familiar with major heavy truck brands.
"At the beginning, I worked as a full-time driver for a logistics and transportation company in Shenzhen. Later, with his hometown to Shanghai, Zhejiang, Guizhou and other places to run transportation, the vast majority of domestic and foreign brand heavy trucks have been opened. In 2016, after returning to my hometown in Lu'an, Anhui Province, I bought an Auman GTL single-handed, which was equipped with a Foton Cummins engine, which ran more than 700,000 kilometers in five years, and the whole vehicle had no major repairs, and the engine performance was very reliable. The car money was earned back in two years, and the income was not bad. ”
Based on the trust in Fukang engine, after the Spring Festival in 2021, Zhao Jinsheng resolutely purchased a larger horsepower model to run freight, the vehicle is attached to a logistics and transportation company in Lu'an City, mainly engaged in large-scale parts transportation, the source of goods business is relatively stable, the main transportation route is from Anhui Lu'an to Ningbo, Zhejiang. On average, the unilateral transportation distance is about 700 kilometers, and the round-trip transportation distance is about 1400 kilometers.
It is not easy to obtain a stable supply in the competitive freight market, which is closely related to the stable performance of the vehicle and engine.
"This Auman EST is equipped with a 12-liter Foton Cummins engine, which is full of power, fast timeliness, safe, reliable and efficient. Counting the loading and unloading time, an average of two days to run a round trip. Throw away the manufacturer's rest day, you can run 13-14 times a month. Compared to other line card holders, I have to run 2-3 more times a month. Zhao Jinsheng said that due to the performance of Fukang engines, the average monthly operation of this Auman EST is about 18,000-19,500 kilometers. In the past year, the car has accumulated more than 225,000 kilometers of mileage, never dropped the chain halfway through, and has a very high attendance rate.

More powerful, more fuel-efficient, more reliable, and efficient Fukang engines are well known
To measure whether a heavy truck is good or not, the performance of the engine on board is the first to bear the brunt. So, what are the highlights of this Fukang 12L engine to help users transport efficiently?
According to Xiaobian, Fukang's 12L engine adopts a number of innovative technologies, including PCC predictive cruise, remote service, ISOPOD turbocharging technology, Leakless fuel system pressure holding technology, etc., with intelligent, efficient, fuel-saving, reliable and other characteristics. Zhao Jinsheng also talked about the use of this engine.
"This 510-horsepower Fukang engine, with a displacement of 11.8L, meets the National V emission standards, has a maximum output of 375kW, low speed, high torque characteristics, and the maximum torque value reaches 2300N·m when the engine speed reaches 1100-1400rpm."
Zhao Jinsheng said that this Auman EST has the blessing of Fukang engine, the whole vehicle has strong power, starting, shifting and overtaking are very fast, and climbing is effortless. Matching the engine is ZF's 16-speed manual transmission, which can effectively transmit 510 horsepower to the rear axle, smooth gear change, comfortable handling, coupled with the 469 Camai rear axle with a speed ratio of 3.7, the vehicle drive force and bearing capacity are outstanding, pulling large parts and even large equipment with ease.

"Fuel consumption performance is most closely related to engine performance." Zhao Jinsheng told Xiaobian that this Foton Cummins engine uses XPI ultra-high pressure injection technology, the fuel injection pressure is as high as 2000Bar, the supercharger intake efficiency is high, and the engine has a more accurate control of the amount of fuel, the atomization effect is better, the combustion is more sufficient, thereby improving fuel utilization and saving fuel.
"I mainly run high-speed, transportation time is generous in the case of the bottom road, this Auman EST standard driving state, 100 kilometers of comprehensive fuel consumption of about 33 liters of fuel, fuel consumption performance is not bad." There are more rainy and snowy days around the Spring Festival this year, and the comprehensive fuel consumption performance of 100 kilometers will also be slightly increased by 0.5-1 liters of oil due to climatic factors. ”
As an old driver who uses Fukang engines for many years, Zhao Jinsheng told Xiaobian that the predictive cruise system equipped with this Fukang engine, including five modes of flat road driving mode, pre-uphill mode, uphill mode, pre-downhill mode and downhill mode, can automatically identify the road conditions in front of the two kilometers, and can automatically adjust the speed according to the road conditions, so that the engine can run in the economic area to the greatest extent, and reduce costs and increase efficiency for users in the best way through undulating road sections.

Running long-distance transportation, the importance of driving comfort is self-evident. "Auman EST uses a four-point suspension cab, running potholes, bumps are not strong, the engine noise reduction effect is also very good; coupled with the flat floor design cab, the maximum use of space design, driving space is very spacious, I stand and walk freely in the cab." Zhao Jinsheng said.
Auman EST ride comfort is very high
"In our card circle, Fukang engine has been continuously iteratively upgraded in terms of power, economy, reliability, etc., and has always been synonymous with high-quality power products, and has been widely recognized by users." Speaking of the goal of the Year of the Tiger, Zhao Jinsheng firmly believes that with the help of Auman EST heavy trucks equipped with efficient Fukang engines, this year's income will definitely be higher.
