If you talk about third-line brands, you may not be too cold to the general card friends, after all, the homogenization of trucks is serious today, and the things that immortals fight endlessly. Third-tier brands do not have the extensive reputation of first-tier and second-tier brands, and there may be some limitations in terms of service, and there are very few users who can choose third-tier brands under the current situation of market downturn.
But sometimes low sales do not mean that the car is poor, the latest XCMG Hanfeng P9 is an example, this car may be called a dark horse in the domestic heavy truck.
XCMG Hanfeng P9 is the latest "P" series platform product of XCMG Heavy Truck, and Hanfeng P9 is the most equipped model under this platform, and the benchmark is a domestic high-end heavy truck.
New platform, new face:
In terms of appearance, the real shooting of this XCMG Hanfeng P9 uses a unique gold car paint, remember that before the XCMG Hanfeng G9 had a "golden age" coating, the color is exactly the same.
But this set of appearance is to see the benevolent and the wise, XCMG Hanfeng P9 in the design of the front face did not imitate the Mercedes-Benz modeling too much like the G9, more independent design. The frame of the front face is V-shaped, and the upper grille shape is slightly raised on both sides, slightly resembling a smiley face. Three chrome strips of decoration are arranged on the grille to increase the sense of refinement of the appearance, and the logo on it can also be lit at night, emitting a light blue light effect.
XCMG Hanfeng P9 is equipped with four-way image monitoring, but the position of the front camera is not placed on the grille or glass like a conventional model, but is arranged in the frame position of the front mirror, and the line of sight in this position is also very good.
Look at the configuration of the headlights, full LED light source, automatic induction switch, which is very popular on the current high-end heavy truck. The low beam lamp has a lens, the lighting at night is uniform and safe, and the fog lamp and fill light below also use the LED light source. An aerodynamic air trough is provided around the headlights to improve the diversion effect.
The main frame of the cab has not changed, the overall high-roof flat floor, with pull flowers, using the Frame of Mercedes-Benz, is also an improvement in the shape of the covering parts on the previous XCMG Hanfeng G9 products.
In the deflector adjustment mechanism, XCMG Hanfeng P9 is still more humanized, using a remote rod adjustment method, which is very easy to match the height of the deflector cover and the trailer compartment.
In order to better cater to aerodynamics and beautify the appearance of the vehicle, XCMG Hanfeng P9 has installed a side skirt plate in the chassis to improve the unity of the vehicle, and the material of this side skirt plate is relatively good quality fiberglass, and the durability will be much better.
Let's talk about the cab flipping system, XCMG Hanfeng P9 uses an electric flip cab, and the flip operation switch is behind the intake grille, which can prevent the front cover from flipping the cab in an unopened state and damaging the covering.
Home-like cab:
The pedals for getting on the car are four-step, and the surface of the pedals with holes in aluminum alloy helps to increase the anti-slip effect. However, the width of the pedal is very narrow, and there is a sense of suspension when stepping on it, which is not a good experience.
The seat combination of XCMG Hanfeng P9 is the main pilot airbag shock absorber seat, and the co-pilot rotating hard-link seat. The airbag seat of the main driver is rich in functions, in addition to the conventional adjustment items, such as ventilation and heating, downhill, waist and shoulder support are all belted, there are also integrated seat belts, comfort is ALSO OK.
The interior of the cab of XCMG Hanfeng P9 is flat floor, so that standing in the car with a height of 1 meter 8 is stress-free, and the movement in the car is relatively convenient. Then look at the interior of the Hanfeng P9, the main style is still a bit similar to Mercedes-Benz Aktos, but fortunately it is convenient to operate and the practicality of the interior is strong.
The steering wheel is equipped with multi-function buttons, on which you can operate the instrument interface display, cruise control, Bluetooth phone and multimedia volume. The steering wheel has a leather-wrapped bezel with perforated leather on both sides and a sporty flat bottom underneath. In the adjustment method, pneumatic two-way adjustment is used, and the adjustment range is larger, but the adjustment damping is slightly astringent.
How is this instrument interface so similar to the instrument interface of a certain brand in Sweden?
The shape of the workbench is similar to that of a Mercedes-Benz, which is easy to operate. The above layout is a widely popular layout of domestic heavy trucks, the upper half of the left button area, the right side is a large screen and air conditioning, and the following is arranged with a mechanical handbrake. XCMG Hanfeng P9 can be equipped with optional electronic handbrake and one-button start configuration, and there are reserved holes on the table.
The gear shift mechanism XCMG Hanfeng P9 uses a fast "chicken leg stop" floating with the seat, which is more convenient to operate under the bumpy road.
The A-pillar has driver behavior detection, and when it senses that the driver has dangerous driving behavior or drowsiness, it will be reminded by the alarm in the car to avoid traffic accidents.
The configuration of the co-pilot hidden table board is becoming more and more popular, XCMG Hanfeng P9 adopts a folding type, the table board material is alloy, and the effective load bearing should be more than 2kg (the table board is not marked).
In fact, not only the co-pilot in front, under the sleeper can also extend a table, can be erected or put on the front of the workbench, there are two different forms, so that not only convenient for eating, like cooking, enlarge large and small pots and pans can also be.
Inside the drawer under the sleeper is integrated a multi-layer storage compartment and car refrigerator, the refrigerator is temperature-adjustable, with partitions inside, like fresh fruits and vegetables and drinks can be stored separately, blind operation when driving will not be wrong.
The humanized design in the car also has a simple water dispenser at the rear of the main driver, which is connected to the water tank in the rear storage box, and the machine that comes out of the water can drag a length and is also convenient for the co-driver to draw water. (You must pay attention to cleaning the scale of the water tank regularly, but it seems that there is no prompt in the car)
The size of the widest part of the sleeper is as shown in the figure, 885mm, which is a good level, which can provide a good rest environment for the driver, and XCMG Hanfeng P9 also sends two pillows with the car.
Under the sleeper is a 1000W inverter, with a switch, supporting two-hole plugs and three-hole plugs, which can drive small and medium-power appliances, and it is also convenient to charge the mobile phone when resting under the sleeper.
Gold power chain, aluminum alloy drive shaft is the highlight:
XCMG Hanfeng P9 is equipped with Weichai's WP13.550E62 engine, as The mainstay machine of Weichai Blue Engine, the performance will naturally not be bad. The maximum output horsepower of the engine is 550 hp, the maximum output torque can reach 2550N.m, the electronically controlled high-voltage common rail, and the emissions meet the national VIb.
The transmission is matched by Fast's 16-speed AMT transmission, model F16JZ26, which has 16-speed forward and 4-speed reverse gear. Inside the box is a direct block structure, with functions such as creeping, power mode, ramp assist starting, road relief, and predictive driving.
The car is equipped with Fast's FHB400 hydraulic retarder, which can achieve a maximum braking torque of 4000 N.m. The retarder adopts a parallel structure and is lightweight. The internal rotor will automatically separate, and the power loss is small when idling, which is more fuel-saving.
The chassis drive shaft of XCMG Hanfeng P9 uses an aluminum alloy drive shaft, compared to the ordinary steel drive shaft, the weight of the aluminum alloy drive shaft will be lighter, which shows that this car is still very careful in the chassis material.
The rear axle is Hand's 440 single-stage deceleration bridge with a speed ratio of 3.083. In terms of suspension, the combination of the front 2 steel plate rear airbags is adopted, which can have a good protective effect on the goods in addition to lightweighting, and also facilitate the hanging and docking of the vehicle.
The curb weight of this vehicle is 8.8 tons, which shows that the lightweight work is very sufficient. For example, the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are made of aluminum alloy, and the tires are 12R22.5RP18 vacuum tires, and even the spare tires are the same configuration.
Spare tire close-up
The front and rear ventilation disc brakes of the whole vehicle have good heat dissipation, support the EBS electric control dynamic system, and can further realize the adaptive cruise of ACC vehicles and the anti-collision warning and automatic braking of FCW vehicles.
Editor's Note:
XCMG Hanfeng P9 this car, compared to the previous flagship product G9, the improvement is very large, although the cab architecture has not changed, but compared with before, the wind resistance coefficient, interior humanization, fineness and chassis materials have changed a lot. This car is also a benchmark for some domestic high-end heavy trucks, such as Auman EST, Jacque K7 and other models.
There is a saying that Xu gong is a construction machinery brand, although it has been in the truck industry for a while, but the early stage of relying on Chunlan technology has not developed much, starting from the Hanfeng series is the real entry into the heavy truck market. Nowadays, the high-end flagship model Hanfeng P9 we see is very sincere in design and materials, but after all, it is a third-tier brand, and its listing is also in the era of crazy inner rolls of domestic heavy trucks.
