The first rays of sunlight crept over the snow-capped peaks of Tianshan Mountain. Master Abdulkadir had already driven his Dongfeng Tianlong KH onto the long journey from Urumqi to Shandong. The car was filled with melodious music, while outside, the deserts and oases were speeding by in the distance. This young man from Xinjiang, with over a decade of driving experience, and the Dongfeng Tianlong KH equipped with the Dongfeng Cummins gas integrated power chain, were jointly writing a new story of transportation.
PART 01
From "Heroic Vehicle" to "Silent Cabin"
The Choice of an Experienced Driver
Master Abdulkadir's transportation career began in 2010. His "old buddy" was an Dongfeng vehicle, equipped with the Dongfeng Cummins engine.
"That car was powerful and durable. It accompanied me to many places." When recalling the past, his words were filled with trust. It was this trust that led him to choose the Dongfeng Tianlong KH with the integrated Dongfeng-Cummins gas power system when he changed his vehicle this year.
"The car has been upgraded." Master Abdulkadir remarked. "The most immediate feeling is that it runs much quieter now."
The Dongfeng Cummins Z15N FE engine achieves an outstanding performance of inside cabin noise at idle speed ≤ 45 decibels through silent technologies such as high overlap gears, suspended valve covers, and full-flow compressor blades of the turbocharger, combined with the excellent sealing and sound insulation design of the Dongfeng Tianlong KH cab.
阿卜杜喀迪尔形容："关上门,外面世界的风声,嘈杂声,好像都被过滤掉了,车里听着音乐,跑长途不容易累."
Abdulkadir described it as follows: "When the door is closed, the sounds and noises from the outside world seem to be filtered out. Listening to music in the car makes it easier to endure the long journey without getting tired."
PART 02
Conquering 5,500 kilometers
Strong power is the confidence
Abdulkadir's usual route is from Xinjiang to Shandong, with a one-way distance of over 5,500 kilometers. Along the way, he traverses the continuous Tianshan Mountains, passes through vast deserts and undulating hills, which poses a severe test for the vehicle's power and reliability.
"This car has great climbing power and can overtake smoothly." This is his most straightforward assessment of the Dongfeng Tianlong KH.
The underlying strength behind this confidence lies in Dongfeng Cummins' integrated power chain. The engine and transmission act as a well-coordinated team, intelligently controlling each other and automatically selecting the most suitable gear based on the actual road conditions. This not only ensures that the powerful 630PS engine is always ready for use, but also achieves excellent fuel economy. Whether it's the continuous climbing over the Tian Shan pass or the need for decisive acceleration and overtaking on the plains, the power responds promptly and continuously.
PART 03
Reliable
It is a truth passed down through word of mouth.
When asked if he would recommend it to his friends, Abdulkadir's words carried a sense of pride: "I have always driven a Dongfeng car. I was the first person in my area to buy a Dongfeng car equipped with the Dongfeng Cummins engine. Later, my brothers and friends, seeing how good my car was, followed suit and bought about a hundred of them one after another."
This certainty stems from trust in the vehicle's reliable quality. The Dongfeng Cummins Z15N FE engine has undergone 4.7 million plus kilometers of road tests and 40,000 hours of bench tests. Innovative designs such as optimizing the cylinder head water jacket and piston cooling have enhanced its adaptability to high temperatures.
At the vehicle level, the Dongfeng Tianlong KH underwent road tests ranging from -30℃ in Heilongjiang to 60℃ in Xinjiang, from 5000-meter highlands to the humid and hot Hainan. These tests verified its reliable promise of a B10 lifespan of 2 million kilometers. For Abdulkadir, who transports goods across extreme climate zones, this reliability means the guarantee of punctual arrival and, more importantly, the guarantee of income.
PART 04
"Moving Homes"
Careful attention to details
Apart from power and reliability, the Dongfeng Tianlong KH driver's cabin, this "mobile home", has also brought many surprises to Abdulkadir. With a 11.67m³ cabin space, a 1-meter-wide super comfortable bed, integrated lighting and air conditioning control switches in the sleeping area, and a 1111L super large storage space, all these features make long-distance life more comfortable.
From the Tarim Basin to the coast of the Bohai Sea, every 5,500-kilometer journey is a rigorous test of the vehicle's performance, and also a cumulative accumulation of trust between drivers and their partners. For Abdulkadir, the Dongfeng Tianlong KH & Dongfeng Cummins Gas Integrated Power Chain has long become the reliable foundation for him to venture across thousands of miles and achieve financial security and prosperity. This trust forged on the long journey is precisely the true value of a brand that can weather storms and conquer challenges.
