Recently, Dongfeng Qiankun, a high-end light truck under Dongfeng Light Vehicles, was officially launched in Chengdu. The new vehicle is equipped with Dongfeng Cummins D2.5/D3.0 engines. With its product strength deeply adapted to the logistics scenarios in Southwest China, it injects efficient and stable new development momentum into the regional logistics industry.
01
Anchor at the core hub of Chengdu
Provide transportation solutions for users
Chengdu is located at the core of the Chengdu-Chongqing Twin-City Economic Circle. It is the economic, technological and cultural center of Southwest China, an important national high-tech industrial base and a comprehensive transportation hub. With the rise of new business forms such as e-commerce live streaming, the logistics industry continues to thrive. However, users are confronted with challenges such as operational efficiency and cost control, and urgently need operational solutions that cover all scenarios and balance high efficiency and low cost.
Dongfeng Cummins and Dongfeng Light Vehicles have keenly grasped the regional market trends and the core demands of users. They have brought the Dongfeng Qiankun equipped with Dongfeng Cummins D2.5/D3.0 engines to Chengdu, offering users a brand-new high-value transportation option.
02
Focus on the complex working conditions in Southwest China
The power is reliable and upgraded in two dimensions
The southwest region features diverse landforms, with numerous hilly areas in Sichuan and Chongqing. Coupled with the congested traffic conditions of intensive urban distribution and the demand for long-distance intercity transportation, it poses multiple challenges to the power stability, scene adaptability and carrying capacity of vehicles.
Since its debut in the Chinese market in 2009, Cummins light-duty engines have won the trust of global users with their outstanding performance. The global sales of Cummins light-duty four-cylinder diesel engines made in China have exceeded 2 million units, and their technical strength and market reputation have been fully verified.
The Dongfeng Qiankun launched this time is equipped with Dongfeng Cummins D2.5/D3.0 engines, achieving a deep adaptation and upgrade of power and reliability. Relying on the system advantages of Dongfeng Motor Co., LTD., the parent company, and Cummins' mature technology and massive operational data, the two sides have deeply coordinated from model development, integrated calibration to vehicle tuning, achieving the matching of the power chain and the vehicle's underlying layer, and making the vehicle performance reach the best matching state to cope with the complex transportation scenarios in Southwest China.
Power level
The Dongfeng Cummins D2.5 engine has a maximum power of 185 horsepower, and the D3.0 engine has a maximum power of 210 horsepower. The low-speed torque is increased by 18%. Even under full-load conditions, it can maintain smooth and stable power output when facing continuous slopes in mountainous areas and long-distance sections on high-altitude roads. It responds quickly when starting and climbing slopes, is not afraid of complex road conditions, and completely breaks the limitations of the operating radius.
Reliability level
The engine block and cylinder head adopt a brand-new reinforced design, have undergone over 25,000 hours of bench testing, and have been equipped with Dongfeng Qiankun to pass the 500,000-kilometer vehicle verification. Equipped with an 860mm ultra-wide frame, a 192mm straight-through frame, and a 6T Dana high-load-bearing rear axle, it can achieve stable and smooth operation, covering all scenarios from urban distribution to intercity transportation, and broadening the boundaries of wealth creation.
03
Reduce costs and increase efficiency
Accurately address users' pain points
For transportation practitioners, cost control and attendance rate directly determine the final revenue. How to achieve cost control while ensuring performance is the core demand of users.
The Dongfeng Cummins D2.5/D3.0 engines, through system optimization and deep matching with the Dongfeng Qiankun vehicle power chain, have achieved excellent fuel economy. This enables the vehicle to maintain stable energy consumption performance under conditions such as mountain slopes, urban congestion, and full-load driving, with transportation costs clearly controllable.
At the event site, truck drivers and professional media experienced the outstanding performance of Dongfeng Cummins Power through immersive experiences such as checking in, tasting and interacting, and gave thumbs up one after another. Professional media gave high praise and professional interpretation from an industry perspective. Truck drivers enthusiastically inquired, old customers shared their wealth-creating experiences with the Dongfeng brand, and many major customers recognized the products and signed contracts on the spot. On the day of the event, a total of 120 units were placed by major clients. The first batch of 8 units was delivered and 6 units were delivered to the terminal, contributing to the immediate success of Dongfeng Qiankun upon its launch.
The launch of Dongfeng Qiankun light truck in Chengdu this time is an important achievement of the in-depth collaboration between Dongfeng Cummins and Dongfeng Light Vehicles. Relying on Dongfeng Cummins' comprehensive service network in the southwest region, we can quickly respond to users' vehicle usage demands, empower the vast number of logistics practitioners in the southwest region, and promote the high-quality development of the regional logistics industry.
