8X4 truck has always been the main force of transportation in the freight market. It has excellent stability, strong loading capacity and a lot of haul. It plays an extremely vital role in the "size all" of goods, especially in the transportation process of medium and short distance materials such as Lvtong, zero-load and cold chain transportation.
The so-called "8X4" refers to the total number of wheels of the vehicle being 8 groups, including 4 groups of driving wheels. 8X4 trucks are also known as "four back eight", "four" refers to the front steering wheel with two axes of four wheels, "eight" refers to the rear drive wheel with two axes of eight wheels.
Semi Trailer Manufacturer said that before the introduction of GB1589, 8X4 trailer manufacturer could be claimed to be the "huge brother" in the field of short - and medium-haul transportation. However, with the introduction of regulations, the compliant loading capacity of 8X4 reduced by almost 9t. In the context of continuously depressed transportation environment and elevated empty driving rate, drivers have been forced to look elsewhere, with the 8X2 replacing the 8X4.
The 8X2 truck, also known as the "first four after six", looks extremely similar to the 8X4 model from the appearance. The difference is that the 8X2 model has a total of 2 groups of driving wheels, the rear end of the two-axis six wheels.
Why is it that the 8X4 has been replaced by the 8X2, which belongs to the same four-axle truck?
1. Lower purchase cost and better economy. It has to be admitted that the price of 8X2 is lower. Under the same configuration, 8X2 can be about 2W yuan cheaper than 8X4. Most car owners are still more inclined to choose the model at a low price.
2, the vehicle weight is lighter, can load additional goods. According to the requirements, the compliant loading capacity of the four-axle vehicle is 31t, which means that the maximum total weight of the 8X2 and 8X4 is 31t. However, the self-weight of the 8X2 vehicle is about 1t lighter than that of the 8X4 model, which means that the 8X2 can load 1t additional goods within the range permitted by the regulations, which is already extremely precious in the current logistics environment.
3. Less fuel consumption and lower overall operating costs. With the same mileage, the fuel consumption of 8X2 model can save 2-3L compared with 8X4. Currently, the oil price continues to rise, and the fuel expenditure nearly accounts for about 50% of the vehicle operating cost. Less fuel consumption means less cost, and to some extent, higher profits.
Of course, the rise of 8X2 models does not mean the complete disappearance of 8X4 advantages. After all, the two groups of 8X4 driving wheels are not decoration. In the face of complex road conditions, 8X4 driving force and pass is incomparable to 8X2, in some construction fields, more suitable for 8X4 models.
Moreover, the development of the freight industry is changing with each passing day, and the update of vehicle technology is dizzying. The temporary cold does not completely represent the future development situation.
In addition, if the owner of the purchase budget is relatively strong, normally run long distance more, the supply of goods is relatively chaotic, such as heavy goods, throw goods are covered, it can also choose a tow two semi trailer, that is, 4×2 tractor with a two-axis semi trailer, vehicle weight about 14t, the weight limit 36t, so that the load of goods is about 22t, the carriage volume can also be larger. Of course, owners also need to apply for an A2 license, so that they can comply with the road.
Therefore, the choice of the model of this piece, can not follow the crowd, suitable for their own use conditions, is the best.
