【Truck Home Original】Various factors such as the decline in freight rates, the increase in gasoline and diesel energy prices, and the rise in labor costs have led to a sharp decline in the current transportation profits of card friends, and the "cold winter" of the freight industry may really come. Among them, there are more uncomfortable users of blue light cards, coupled with the current blue card light card policy has not landed, the policy tendencies in various places are also different, resulting in many card friends dare not easily "go into the water".
For some card friends who still want to engage in urban transportation, in order to return the cost in such an environment in a faster time, a model with high cost performance, low failure rate and size compliance will be the best choice. Overloading and ultra-wide future will inevitably be limited, and if you rush to buy a high-priced model, the return on investment is low. So at this stage, if you want to cut into the urban distribution market, how to choose a light truck?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" > compliance standards are more secure to recognize the reality of running transportation</h1>
Above we briefly explained the current situation of the freight industry for all the card friends, such a status quo for the card friends who can not stick to it, accelerate the turnover rate of employees, if you buy over-gauge models at this stage, in the context of the era of standard transportation, it will be subject to various troubles such as suspension of operation and annual inspection in the future.
Combined with this actual situation, for the current stage and future urban distribution transportation, the purchase of a low acquisition cost, high reliability of the compliant light truck should be a better choice. Today we will find such a car for the card friends of the running city with transportation, and see if it can meet the above requirements in all aspects, it is a Dorica D6 4 meters 2 rail plate light truck from Dongfeng.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="6" > the evergreen tree of the light truck world</h1>
Although the light truck policy has not landed for a long time, from the perspective of the recent licensing policies in various places, the displacement does not exceed 2.5 liters, and the cargo compartment does not exceed 2 meters and 1 wide model has obviously not received more restrictions. This also explains why most of the exhibition cars of mainstream brand light trucks on the market are equipped with engines within 2.5 liters, and the width of the cargo compartment does not exceed 2 meters1.
After several years of development, Dongfeng Dolica has become the main model of Dongfeng light truck at this stage of urban transportation, in terms of appearance, the whole vehicle adopts Chinese red livery, which is also the main color of the Doleka D6 series. The exterior design of the whole vehicle is very compact and more durable.
Front face area, this Dolica uses a large area of curved glass, the interior vision of the car is very transparent, the double V-type network structure makes the whole car look vibrant, the development to this stage, it can be said that the full series of Dolica styling design has been very mature, the product has a very independent design language.
Looking at the headlight area alone, is there a taste of the Dongfeng Capput series? The entire headlights use a variety of light sources, namely LED daytime running lights, halogen light source of the near and far headlights, as well as turn signals and fog lights, the lighting conditions of the urban environment are better, such a light configuration should be more confident in the night city transportation.
The vehicle size is 5995X2150X2310mm, and the wheelbase is 3308mm, which can be said to be a very standard light truck size. The length and width of the railing cargo compartment are 4200X2100mm, and the width meets the requirements of the new regulations. The curb weight of the real-time model is about 2.56 tons, and it can carry nearly two tons of cargo in accordance with the standard.
The appearance and size of this Dorica D6 Sharp Energy Edition is very compliant, even if it is necessary to review the car and inspect the year under the new regulations in the future, it is not afraid of any restrictions. This is undoubtedly a blessing for cardholders who intend to participate in urban transportation for a long time.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="13" >136 horsepower full diesel power with six-speed manual transmission</h1>
Although the policy has not yet been fully implemented, in addition to the need to grasp the size of the blue light truck, it is also necessary to reasonably control the displacement of the engine. If there are still illusions about large displacement and overloaded light trucks at this stage, then whether it can still operate in compliance in the future may be a difficult matter.
In terms of engines, the real-time Dolica D6 uses an all-diesel-powered Q23-136E60 inline four-cylinder diesel engine with a displacement of 2.3 liters, which meets the emission standards of China VI. The maximum output power is 100kw (136 hp), the maximum output torque is 380 Nm, and the peak torque can be output in the range of 1000rpm-2800rpm.
The Dolica D6 offers a wide range of engines to choose from, including a 2.4-liter Yuchai engine in addition to full diesel. Both engines have a high reputation in the industry, and many years of experience in cultivating small displacement engines have enabled them to deal with the problem of blue light truck limit displacement more calmly.
Dolica D6 gearbox uses a 6-speed manual transmission from Wanliyang, after our actual experience on the spot, this Dolica D6 is very easy to drive up, after hanging into a gear, slightly lift the clutch can have a very good power response, and the switch between gears is relatively clear, the feel is good.
In terms of tires, the real-time Dolica D6 uses Dongfeng's radial tires with a size of 7.00 R16LT. The front and rear axles are made of steel wheels, which are strong and durable.
In the fuel tank area, Dolica D6 adopts a PU material structure, which is relatively light overall, reduces the weight of the vehicle, and is more corrosion resistant than steel fuel tanks. The fuel tank has a volume of 80 liters, which is more convenient for daily use for the Dolica D6, which is mainly equipped with a small displacement engine.
The chassis structure of dolica D6 is relatively solid, and the front and rear axles are adopted by Dana axles mainly promoted by Dongfeng, and the front and rear multi-leaf spring design is adopted to meet strong load demand. The rear axle speed ratio of the real-shot model is 4.888, and a series of speed ratios such as 4.875 and 4.111 are also available, which can be freely selected for different working conditions.
The power chain of this Dollika D6 adopts the products provided by well-known suppliers in the industry, which is indeed more assured in terms of reliability, and the engine, whether it is full diesel power or Yuchai power, uses no more than 2.5 liters of engine displacement on the D6, which undoubtedly allows Kayou to run and transport more safely in the future.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="22" > focus on pragmatism Work can also be easy</h1>
Blue card light truck is the travel partner of the card friend on the road of transportation every day, the vehicle carries the goods of the card friend, not only responsible for the safety of the goods, but also responsible for the comfort and safety of our card friends. In terms of the cab, has there been any change in the Dolica D6?
The dolica D6's seats are commendable, with a dirt-resistant black color scheme as a whole, and the weaving material process will not feel cold even if it is sitting on it in winter. The leg support and back support of the entire seat can be well adapted to short- and medium-distance driving.
The steering wheel adopts a four-panel multi-function design with concave at three and nine points for easy cab grip. The left side is the fixed speed endurance control, and the right side is the Bluetooth phone, which is more convenient for daily use.
The Dolica D6 has a lot of storage space, with four storage compartments in the central control area, and it is not a problem to put down mobile phones, documents, paper and pencils. The top of the dashboard is also equipped with a deep storage slot, and the slope design will not scatter the items placed in it even if it is accelerated and braked sharply.
The co-pilot is also equipped with two glove boxes that can be opened at the same time, and its width and depth have very considerable data, which is very convenient to put some tools in the car. Overall, the Dolica D6's cab configuration is not very impressive, but its storage space and practicality basically make good use of the interior space.
The six-speed gearbox occupies a smaller volume, and after our actual tests, this Dolica D6 can easily ride three adult men at the same time, and the space feeling is better. However, if the accelerator pedal can be designed as a floor-standing type, the soreness of the ankle can be alleviated compared to the situation of driving for a long time.
● Editor's postscript
As mentioned at the beginning of the article, at this stage, in order to cut into the freight market of light trucks, it is not a wise choice for retail investors to buy high-priced and high-equipped models, on the contrary, some cost-effective and reliable compliant models can better adapt to the multiple pressures at this stage, on the one hand, reducing loan pressure, on the other hand, reducing operation and maintenance costs, and more importantly, size compliance is not afraid of future annual inspections.
Buying a car and running transportation is a business, and the nature of buying stocks has also converged, often people who enter the market at high prices may usher in a downward trend in the market, and people who enter the market at a low point will not necessarily lose money, of course, all this is just a metaphor. At this stage, the freight market is like a stock market that has fallen to the bottom, and it cannot be said that there must be a loss in the industry, but it cannot be said that the entry into the industry must earn, but the purchase of a compliant model can make the card friends lose much and earn peace of mind.
