▎Reliable Active Safety Components:
The FAW J6F light-duty truck adopts a 2-section honeycomb-style front grille similar to the FAW J6L series. Its 3D diamond-shaped headlights on both sides, paired with an upper aerodynamic spoiler, create a visually harmonious design. The center of the bumper includes dual foot pedals, and the integrated fog lamps on each side enhance overall reliability.
This FAW J6F 9CBM light-duty fuel tank lorry features widened door guards with protruding rectangular side turn signals at the bottom. Combined with a voice warning system, this ensures safe driving at night. The wide-angle, outward-swinging mirrors offer multi-angle adjustment, and a front under-view mirror reduces blind spots, both contributing to improved driving safety.
The upper tank assembly of this vehicle has a capacity of 8.15 m³ and a rated payload of 6,450 kg. It is made from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy, and in case of a leak, the tank can be extinguished using CO₂, foam, or dry powder extinguishers.
● Appearance Review:
The FAW J6F light truck inherits many exterior design elements from the FAW 6-series family. Large windows, convex mirrors, and wide-body reflective mirrors all contribute to enhanced active safety.
▎Reliable “Golden” Powertrain:
The J6F is equipped with the Weichai WP4.1NQ190E50 Euro V engine, delivering a maximum output of 190 hp and peak torque of 680 N·m. This powertrain is widely adopted in many 6.8-meter domestic trucks.
| Component | Specification |
|---|---|
| Drive Axle | 9T |
| Main Reduction Ratio | 4.875 |
| Transmission | Fast 8JS75TC Manual (Top Gear Ratio 1:1) |
| Engine Speed (Economical) | 1,300 rpm |
| Calculated Speed | 67.8 km/h |
● Powertrain Review:
The combination of Weichai engine and Fast gearbox offers excellent adaptability, especially for specialized vehicles with a gross weight under 12 tons, delivering maximum practical value.
▎Standard Front and Rear Lateral Stabilizer Bars:
As an entry-level light-duty truck, the FAW J6F features a front axle with a 5,600 kg load capacity from Qingte and is equipped with disc brakes, which are mandated for this class of specialized vehicles. Compared to drum brakes, disc brakes offer better heat dissipation and superior emergency braking stability when supported by ABS and other safety systems.
For hazardous materials transportation, the exhaust pipe is mandatorily positioned on the side of the bumper, and an external flame arrestor reduces the risk of fire.
Special attention has been paid to chassis construction details. Both front and rear axles are equipped with lateral stabilizer bars, which help maintain safety even in the event of a front tire blowout.
On the right side of the chassis, there is a 120L aluminum fuel tank and a 40L urea tank. A hard metal side guard fixed with alloy brackets provides excellent cushioning during external impacts.
The suspension system uses 3 front and 4+4 rear parabolic leaf springs, ensuring strong load-bearing capacity and minimizing violent sloshing of fuel in the tank during daily transport.
Corrosion-resistant storage boxes are installed in front of and behind the drive axle to house extinguishing devices like fire extinguishers, aiming to reduce harm to nearby vehicles and pedestrians during serious incidents.
At the rear of the chassis, an L-bracket-mounted bumper with a low-positioned design reduces accident risks. Dual anti-static drag straps are linked at the chassis bottom to enhance safety during rainy conditions.
● Chassis Review:
Among its class, the J6F stands out for its chassis and suspension setup. The inclusion of front and rear lateral stabilizer bars, a front-mounted flame arrestor, and disc brakes significantly enhances safety. The aluminum alloy fuel tank and 3+4 parabolic suspension provide secure fuel transport and good lightweighting advantages.
▎Simple Interior with Assured Operability:
The J6F adopts a compact, wide-body day cab that meets comfort requirements for medium- and short-distance fuel transport. Leather seats offer more comfort compared to standard fabric seats.
It is equipped with a clean 4-spoke multifunction steering wheel. The left side controls audio/entertainment, while the right side controls Bluetooth calls and cruise functions, ensuring good handling and driving comfort for long hauls.
The flat-style center console features a sliding air vent design. Entertainment and manual air conditioning controls are integrated for easy operation within the driver’s reach.
On the right side, the sealed storage compartment uses a top-lift opening design, which is safer than the outward-opening style found in most mainstream models. It is suitable for storing driver’s licenses, receipts, and other onboard documents.
● Interior Review:
The use of leather seats for both driver and passenger in the J6F is uncommon in this vehicle class, providing a high level of comfort. The pull-type mini storage compartment also offers practical space for various onboard items.
● Overall Review:
- The FAW 6-series maintains a strong family-style appearance.
- Sloped glass windows, wide-body mirrors, and convex turn signals improve active safety.
- The Weichai WP4.1 Euro V engine + Fast 8JS75TC gearbox ensures strong and reliable power output.
- Front and rear lateral stabilizers ensure stable transport operations.
- Lightweight front and rear parabolic leaf springs meet daily operational needs with significant weight-saving benefits.
- The simple interior layout suits medium- and short-haul fuel transport applications.
