Today, “Going global” has become the main industry theme as domestic commercial vehicle market enters into a new stage in competing for the existing resources. Meanwhile, China's automotive companies have opened a new chapter in improving vehicle quality and export volume in their journey towards globalization as they actively implemented globalization strategy.
Recently, 400 AUMAN GTL heavy trucks were officially delivered to Nigeria, which is the second order urgently added by the customer with its business expanding after its first purchase of 100 AUMAN heavy trucks in early 2022.
Nigeria is known to have many "pain points" such as road congestion, low transport efficiency and high costs in its road transport system, which indirectly affects the timeliness of material transportation. The transport ability enhancement is therefore not only essential for the efficiency of the company, but also an imminent demand to ensure people’s needs.
The 400 AUMAN trucks FOTON Motor delivered this time are precisely custom-built as required. A comprehensive iteration and updating have been performed on these vehicles based on its original version in order to adapt to the operating conditions in Nigeria. After upgrading, its fuel saving, efficiency, carrying capacity, volume and attendance have all got improved significantly.
1. Fuel Efficiency
AUMAN GTL Africa version is equipped with Cummins engine, and delivers not only higher reliability, but also achieves higher fuel efficiency as its 2000 bar ultra-high pressure injection common fuel rail system can reduce fuel consumption by 5-10% through full combustion. At the same time, the EBP fuel-saving switch can also automatically correct the driver's bad driving habits. And its engine has been designed to be lightweight, with a weight reduction by 300kg, allowing users to control costs while significantly increasing transport capacity.
2. Reliability
AUMAN GTL has been certified to high strength body collision prevention by the Germany Rhine company and surpassed 10 million- kilometers road verification, delivering greater safety and reliability. In particular, its Cummins engine adopts modular design to reduce the failure rate, and the 16T rear axle with Mercedes-Benz technology has made its load capacity increased by 40% as compared to the previous 13T rear axle.
