How To Drive Isuzu Truck? The 128 Correct Answer

motor vehicle

The Isuzu Forward (Japanese: いすゞ・フォワード, Isuzu Fowādo) (also known as the Isuzu F-Series) is a line of medium-duty commercial vehicles manufactured by Isuzu since 1970, succeeding the earlier TY model that occupied the same place in the market . All F-Series trucks are cab-over designs and the cab comes complete from the factory. Most models are equipped with a diesel engine; However, some markets also receive CNG derivatives. Depending on the market, the F-Series is available with different cab configurations, engines, all-wheel drive or two-wheel drive. Most trucks are assembled in Japan; However, in some countries they are assembled locally from CKD kits.

Most medium and large truck models are identified by a front “Forward” badge. but the usual Isuzu badge is usually used on the back. Confusingly, the smaller Isuzu Elf was sold as the “GMC Forward” in the United States and other markets.[2]

The Isuzu Forward is among the commercial trucks used by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force for back row duties.

Isuzu TY (predecessor) [ edit ]

Isuzu launched the 8,800 lb (4 ton) TY series in May 1966. This semi-cabover design was Isuzu’s first medium-duty truck. The original engine fitted was the D370, a 3.6 L (3,644 cc) in-line six-cylinder diesel engine with 100 hp (74 kW). The types were TY20, TY30 and TY40 depending on the length of the chassis. The first engine was later changed to the 4.0 L (3,988 cc) D400 engine with 102 hp (75 kW), accompanied by a change in model codes to TY21/31/41. In August 1967 two 3.5 ton models, TY31(S) and TY41(S) were added. There was also an extra long wheelbase model (available with extended cab) called the TY51. The TY range received a slight facelift in March 1968, including a redesigned grille.

First Generation (1970)[edit]

The first generation of the Forward (TR) was launched in April 1970, replacing the original TY series. All original models were fitted with Isuzu’s D500 diesel engine, a 5.0 L (4,978 cc) straight-six developing 125 hp (92 kW). In July 1971 this engine was upgraded to 130 hp (96 kW). In September 1972, the Forward received a facelift and a new model code (SBR). The D500 engine was mostly replaced by the new 5.4 L 6BB1 direct-injected inline six (5,393 cc) and 145 hp (107 kW). Only certain lighter versions, such as the fire engine, retained the smaller D500 engine. The glow plug equipped 6BB1 had the smallest displacement per cylinder of any direct injection diesel engine in the world at the time and powered a large number of Forward, Elf and many other Isuzu cars for decades to come.[5]

Various weight ranges, bodies and types were offered, including a tractor-trailer and dump trucks with wheelbases from 3.2 to 5.6 m (10 to 18 feet).[6] While most of the first generation Forward range was replaced in August 1975, the lighter, short-cab versions continued in production as the “Forward S” until 1986.

Second Generation (SBR/JBR/FBR) (1975)[edit]

Second generation Isuzu Forward JCR500S (1982)

The second generation Forward (SBR series) was launched in August 1975. The original range could carry between 4 and 4.5 tonnes (8,800 and 9,900 lb) and was powered by the same Isuzu 6BB1 diesel engine that had been used in the original Forward. a 5.4 L (5,393 cc) diesel straight-six developing 145 hp (107 kW). The SBR was later joined by new heavier versions (J and F series) fitted with the larger 6BD1, 6BD1T and 6BF1 engines.

Third Generation (FTR/FVR/FSR/FRR/FVZ) (1985)[edit]

Third generation forward with crane

The third generation Forward was launched in June 1985 as a successor to the first and second generation Forward, the design was based on the cab design of the 810 and was the first truck to win the Good Design Award.

The FTR, FVR, FSR and FRR are all equipped with naturally aspirated and turbocharged Isuzu 6BG1 and 6HE1 engines mated to the six-speed manual or six-speed NAVi6 automatic transmission with optional ABS. A 1992-1994 Isuzu Forward Truck appears in a scene from Studio Ghibli’s 1994 animated film Pom Poko.[8]

Fourth Generation (1994)[edit]

Fourth generation Forward with platform

The fourth generation of the Forward was launched in February 1994 with all SOHC engines starting with the naturally aspirated or turbocharged 6HE1 through 1999 and followed by the new 8.2-litre 6HH1 and 7.8-litre 6HK1 -TC engines replaced which are mated to the six-speed manual or Isuzus ‘Smoother F’ automatic transmission with Power Shift and HSA are standard, only ABS/ASR are optional.

For the Chilean and Peruvian markets, the trucks were shipped as CKD kits from Japan to Huechuraba, Chile, where up to two could be assembled per day by a team of 13 workers. They were badged as Chevrolets and GMCs until 2009.

Bedford models[ edit ]

A Bedford MN truck

For some markets like Spain and Portugal the Isuzu Forward was renamed Bedford-Isuzu as the Bedford brand was more well known there. This was offered as a replacement for the Bedford TL truck. After 1998, the Bedford name was dropped and all trucks were rebadged as Isuzu models.

Some models were rebranded as Bedford MN. In these countries, the slightly lighter Isuzu Elf was also badged as Bedford NKR and Bedford KA50 Trucks. These trucks were also exported to Australia where the Bedford badging was used on nearly all Isuzu trucks exported to the country since the 1970s.

These Bedford trucks were no longer marketed in the United Kingdom after the 1980s as Bedford’s heavy truck division had by that time merged into AWD Trucks and was not owned by General Motors and the light van factories in Luton as a joint venture with Isuzu reorganized, were not high enough to start production of such a truck.

Currently, the Isuzu Forward is built in the UK at a new Isuzu-built facility alongside the Isuzu Elf, marketed under the Grafter name.

It competes with trucks like the DAF LF and the Ford Cargo truck.

See also[edit]

The model is also known as the Isuzu FVZ series and is available as an Isuzu FVZ34T, Cargo Chassis, or Isuzu FVZ34N, Tripper.

Both models have a powerful 6-cylinder common rail turbocharged diesel engine with intercooler and a displacement of 7790 cc.

The engine model is 6HK1-TCS and produces 280 hp at 2400 rpm and torque of 882 Nm at 1450 rpm.

That is enough to transport the model heavy loads in the construction industry.

The FVZ trucks are characterized by a robust design that makes them durable despite driving in unfavorable environments.

Note that most of the exterior parts are made of steel, with the base being constructed of high-strength steel.

Unloading the truck is easy as it features electro-hydraulic cab tilt to allow for quick unloading.

And the reversing camera and sensor ensure that your car does not touch anything in reserve gear.

This vehicle has some advanced technologies such as tire pressure monitoring, air deflectors, among others.

The main competitor is the Mitsubishi Canter truck, but Isuzu FVZ trucks are better because they carry more load.

Thank you for the good work you are doing. Every Wednesday I am very excited to learn new things about the automotive industry.

Now I’m looking forward to buying a medium sized truck that will allow me to comfortably transport cement from the Athi River to Meru, making about 10 trips a week. I would like your advice on choosing between a Mistubishi FH, Isuzu FRR and Nissan Diesel UD (MK 210) in terms of durability, economy, reliability and maintenance.

Regards,

Gitabu Munene

Hello,

Durability: The FH is without a doubt the best here. In comparison, the UD is the worst; It doesn’t last very long under heavy use, much like the FRR.

Economy: The University of Applied Sciences wins again. It has a 6557 cc engine that develops around 160 hp, while the FRR has a huge 8200 cc block good for 187 hp, and the MKB210 gets by with 6997 cc and 180 hp. The smallest engine with the lowest power; That has to be economical by default, right?

Again, however, the Mitsubishi is the oldest here, dating back to 1996, with the Isuzu and UD appearing around the turn of the century or shortly after, so economics will come down mostly to driver skill and inclination and engine power.

Just so you know, the Nissan Diesel (they dropped that name btw. These days they’re just known as UD Trucks. Even the buses…) has been derided on numerous occasions for its inconspicuous fuel economy and is therefore considered unprofitable to convert into one Small capacity passenger bus, the luxury type.

Reliability: Guess. Yes you are right; Mitsubishi’s FH215 truck comes through again. Since it is the most durable, it is also the most reliable. It’s also simpler/less complicated than the other two, meaning there are fewer things that can go wrong with it. The UD suffers more recoveries compared to the Isuzu.

Maintenance: Umm… FH. This is determined by Crater Automobiles’ nationwide dealer network. CMC outlets are comparatively fewer and further in between, as is GM. Also, it’s pretty obvious: when durability is excellent and reliability top-notch, there’s no way maintenance is going to be a pain, right?

Regards,

I want to thank you for your valuable insights into automotive maintenance. As a regular reader of Car Clinic, I must commend you for taking the time to review readers’ concerns and, more importantly, for providing the best professional advice.

Your advice was helpful to me and opened up new perspectives in vehicle maintenance.

I wish you would connect me to your network so I can track these features via email or your Facebook page; Newspapers are ephemeral, but information survives.

Benson Esusa

Hello Benson,

Thanks for the good word. I’m trying: not only does it help the Kenyans out there (I hope!), but I enjoy the work and am proud of it.

My email and other useful contacts are available on Facebook. Just search for J M Baraza and you will see a strange name. This strange name is my pseudonym on the social network.

I’ve already mentioned that I’m working on a book. Hopefully this will happen by April. And the good news, if you could call it that, is that there will be two books, not one.

The first will be a bit technical with useful information for the reader and an in depth analysis of automotive life and industry in the country as it has evolved over the years both as the force behind this column and as a driver/owner of an automobile.

The second will be a bit more personal and will deal with controversy. My apparent dislike for the Prius will be prominent, as will the imaginary “war” people think I’m waging against Subaru vehicles and/or their owners. My adventures around the world as an auto correspondent will also be included and just to keep things interesting I will also feature the worst article I have ever written for this newspaper. It should prove to be quite a read.

Hello JM,

Thank you for the information you share in this column. Please compare the BMW 630i coupe and the Mercedes CLS 350 and then the BMW 730D and the Mercedes S320 in terms of performance, comfort, reliability, durability and recommendation.

Please let me know any information that can help me make a purchase decision. Assume the year 2007 as a general rule.

Kirera Evans.

Hello Kirera,

That’s quite a lineup you listed. Performance doesn’t differ much across the board: none of these vehicles will go faster than 250 km/h as speed limiters (German regulations) are fitted ex works. However, the differences arise in the acceleration.

Comfort: It is excellent in the 730 and the S320, even more so in the S-Class. It’s mediocre (relatively very good, if not as good as) on the CLS and comparatively harsh on the 630 coupe, but again the key word is ‘comparatively’. Nobody who owns and drives a 630 will complain about its ride quality.

Durability: Depends on what you’re doing with the car, but these are all high-end luxury vehicles; They tend not to wither quickly.

Recommendation?

Depends on what you want from the car. The 630i is sufficient for sporty driving pleasure, closely followed by the CLS. The CLS and the two larger sedans offer more practicality, with the 730 and S320 being the most practical.

The 730D will please if you’re also looking for economy, while the S-Class dominates with seriousness and sheer presence. The coupés are good for you if you like to stand out and draw attention to yourself.

My personal preference is the CLS: you get coupe good looks (the CLS is marketed as a “four-door coupe,” which I find a contradiction in terms), structural rigidity, and a low roof with the seating capacity and practicality of a Pukka four-door Salon.

Economy isn’t bad for the 350 V6 either, although the 730D dominates in this area.

Hello Baraza,

Congratulations for the good work you are doing.

I am a hustler who raises chickens for commercial purposes and intend to start a taxi business. I sell eggs in boxes as well as scratch cards with a motorbike. But I find it hectic, so I want to switch to a small car.

The Jeep Wrangler is the kind of car I’m looking for if I’m not wrong. Of course, I don’t know much about it, that is, its consumption efficiency, the availability of spare parts, whether it can drive on bad roads, especially in the rainy season, and its price, both brand new and used.

At this point, I’m not really interested in comfort, but in fuel consumption. When I’m not selling eggs and scratch cards I’d like to use it as a taxi. Please advise me accordingly. Also, compare this car to a Suzuki Maruti for the above aspects.

Bosire Ndege

Hello Bosir,

You’re an odd hustler…or at least your hustler ambitions are unusual. Before I help you, I have a few questions myself:

1. Where exactly do you intend to operate your taxi business?

2. You know what a Jeep Wrangler is, right?

you are not wrong A Jeep Wrangler is a type of car, but not exactly what we would call “small”. It’s an SUV, not unlike the notorious police mahindras of yore. In fact, these Mahindra jeeps were direct copies of the original Willys jeep, of which the Wrangler is a direct descendant.

Luckily don’t worry about comfort because the jeep you’re asking about is awful, really awful. It manages to take a rocky, concussive ride and then gives it rolling, wobbling, swaying, tumbling, and hopping properties.

If you’ve never been sick in the car, this will be the car to initiate you into the experience. The interior is worse than spartan, it’s below average and has no doors so the weather from the outside comes in and out at will.

Now that you mention the Maruti, I dare say they have the same characteristics, the difference is that the Maruti’s interior is even worse than the Jeep’s, but at least one has doors so the climate stays outside. So how do the two compare in the qualities you are interested in?

1. “Fuel Efficiency” (just say fuel economy or fuel efficiency next time): It’s very bad in Jeep. It has a huge 4.0 V6 engine as a poverty spec power supply. This engine is archaic, mated to a 4-speed manual plus overdrive/3-speed automatic with short gears and an even shorter final drive.

This makes the vehicle very, very thirsty, 5km/l or less will be your lot. Hedonists went for the 4.2, which is even thirstier without being much faster or more powerful than the 4.0.

Apparently there was also a 2.5 liter engine, but I think it must have only been available in Iran, where this vehicle was assembled unchanged elsewhere in the world six years after its facelift. I am not sure.

The Maruti in comparison uses a puny little carb fed 1.3 liter engine which is very good for ‘fuel efficiency’ although not as good as other 1.3’s because a) the Maruti is a jeep (small “j” for Jeep, note) and b) carburetor. The Maruti is also light as a feather. So while the Jeep struggles to reach 6 km/l, the Suzuki happily manages to double that.

2. Parts Availability: Difficult for the Jeep unless you have a good internet connection, an understanding of eBay and a PayPal account. This is because the Internet is where most of your purchases are made. not many Jeep Wranglers made their way here, largely because they were almost exclusively left-hand drive for a very long time (RHDs were introduced in the UK around 1998). DT Dobie is now selling a modern version which I’m told is good, but I suspect it’s not really that good.

Now the Maruti has spare parts everywhere, and I mean everywhere. There isn’t a village that lacks at least one Suzuki or its various derivatives. Its rugged simplicity makes it very difficult to disassemble and very easy to repair if you ever do, and would you believe those things are still on sale! I think it’s the cheapest SUV on the market right now.

Last time I checked, a brand new unit with no miles cost a million. And it’s the same car they sold in 1988…

3. Driving on rough roads, especially in the rainy season: Both will work perfectly (though a bit of green lane skill is required). Both will make you hate yourself for it because both are uncomfortable and punishing to the human body.

The Jeep is slightly worse for stimulating you in your discomfort. Remember, it has no doors; There are some who claim to have “doors”. I don’t think these are doors.

4. Prices: I really don’t know the prices of the Wrangler. As I mentioned earlier, a brand new Maruti costs around a million. You could buy a used one for next to nothing.

I’ll end by repeating my first question: where exactly do you intend to operate this taxi company? The choice between the vehicles you specified is quite extreme:

These are hardcore off-road machines, unsuitable for transporting eggs and/or paying passengers, unless the eggs and passengers live in a remote area, like on top of a high, rocky mountain…or in the middle of a deep swamp.

Hi,

During a heavy downpour, I got to my car and found a small puddle in the driver’s side footwell.

Should I be concerned or is it just condensation? The car had no structural damage and the seals appear to be fine and I don’t see any signs of water leaks.

aa

Hi,

Condensation will never result in a puddle when in fact it is a puddle that you saw. Is there a puddle in the passenger footwell too? I daresay there is a leak somewhere and a more thorough investigation will lead you to the source.

Focus mainly on the bulkhead, especially the openings through which the various connections – accelerator pedal, brake and clutch – pass. The door seals could also be the culprit, but that should be obvious while driving unless you usually park in a puddle before exiting your car.

The Isuzu Giga (Japanese: いすゞ・ギガ) is a line of heavy-duty trucks manufactured by Isuzu since 1994. Outside of Japan it is known as the Isuzu C/E series.[4] It was officially known as the “Isuzu Heavy-Duty Truck”.[5] Between 1994 and 2016 it was also sold in South America (under the Chevrolet brand as the Chevrolet C/E series).

First generation (1994–2015 for Japan, 1995–2022 for export) [ edit ]

Introduced in November 1994 as the successor to the 810 series. The model of the motorcycle is the KC-C ## series and the tractor that will be released next year is the KC-EX # series. At the end of the model number, a number is entered that represents the model. (Example: KC-CXZ81K1). This number means it is Type 1 and depending on the model e.g. B. dump trucks, the alphabet is added after the number. For the first time a car with a gross vehicle weight of 22 t and 25 t appeared in this model. There are two types of cabs, a long-distance cargo cab and an off-highway cab for dump trucks. The Autobahn cab has headlights on the bumper side. While most cabs were still fitted with headlights, it can be said that this Giga is the forerunner of today’s standard way of fitting bumpers with headlights. The cab design, doors and lighting are also the same as the 320 series Forward, which appeared in February of the same year. The rear door of the double cab car is 810. The four-axle low-floor vehicle is the GVW25t vehicle, which is the first heavy-duty truck in Japan with the same type of four-wheel-drive axle (changed to 19.5-inch to 22.5-inch 265/60 ultra-flat tires). . The GVW22t; 20t vehicle is as before. There are five grades available, Space Cruiser (Dump is King Dump), High Custom, Custom, Standard Specification, Limited, and the most premium Space Cruiser has electric curtain, wood grain, leatherette steering, and came with gear knob, etc ., but the lowest grade Limited was a single-seater specification.

1995: Semi-truck and 4WD added. The truck is equipped with a special plating bar on the front panel, and the part inside the bar is painted with gunmetal.

1997: It becomes Type 2 with one small change. 2 is written at the end of the model number (Example: KC-EXR82D2). Tractor and Gigamax have eight front grilles. For the first time as a heavy-duty truck, all vehicles are equipped with SRS airbags for the driver’s seat as standard. Equipped with discharge headlights. The 6×4 tractor unit is equipped with the domestic 600hp most powerful V-type 10-cylinder naturally aspirated 10TD1 engine. The front grille of the off-road cab semi-truck has been changed from three slots to six holes. Released Gigamax with 4-bag air spring. The straight-six car has a high cab, and the fender rubber has a thick shape. The straight-sixes have a higher cabin, a special bumper, headlights in a higher position than usual and a license plate in a lower position than usual. Starting with this model, the tires of 4-axle low-floor vehicles have a smaller overall wheel diameter.

2000 : Minor change in medium-term model. Meets 1999 (KL-) emission regulations. It becomes Type 3 (Example: KL-EXR52D3). The grille on the front panel of the highway cab has an inverted trapezoidal design and the engine has been changed from 12PE1 to 8TD1 for the V-type and from 6WA1 to 6WF1 and 6WG1 for the straight-six engine. As most models switched to straight-six engines, the high-cab style was standardized according to the Type 2 straight-six engine (there are also low-cab specifications for specially equipped vehicles such as tank trucks). Since the off-road vehicle with a straight six-cylinder engine has a high cab, the front bumper also deviates from the specification without a front apron on the highway cab (the headlight part is closed). The snorkel of a straight-six car was changed from an oblong shape to a flat shape.

June 2003 : There is no change in design, but it becomes a Type 4 with a small change (Example: KL-CYL23T4). Complies with the noise regulations of 2001. In addition to the articulated lorry, the full air brake was standardized and the naturally aspirated V engine was phased out and quickly standardized as the intercooler turbo engine. Smoother G setting. Although the speedometer was abolished, the lens shape of the speedometer remains on the high-roof car and is painted in the body color.

November 2003: Vehicles equipped with a 6WF1 engine are additionally adjusted to the 2004 emissions regulations (new short-term emission regulations). The model is Type 5 (Example: PJ-CYL51V5Z). KL-No difference in appearance from the car.

2004 : Discontinuation of the finished “G Cargo” car.

August 2005 : Minor change to Type 6 (Example: PJ-CYJ51W6). The front bumper has been visually changed. The front bumper for type 1 and 2 low cab cars is reused and a spacer is fitted at the top from a new part. Complies with the safety standards for lighting devices (terrain cabin omitted). Bumpers with license plates under the headlights have disappeared. The position of the front license plate of all cars was unified to the same height as the headlights. The front turn signal lens was split in two, the outside was the turn signal and the back was the fog lamp. In fact, this combo light itself is a modification of the 2000 MC models Super Dolphin Profia and Space Ranger. It was a change). Previously, the side indicator mounted in the cab’s blister fender had a built-in side reflector, but since the change was made to move only this reflector to the corner of the bumper, the side indicator’s reflector space is a dummy. Full compliance with 2004 Emission Regulations (New Short Term Emission Regulations, PJ-). 6SD1 type engine replaced by 6UZ1 type engine. As with the Profia from Hino Motors, which has partnered with four-wheel drive vehicles to reduce costs, production has ceased. Like Profia, UD Trucks (formerly Nissan Diesel Industry) is an original equipment manufacturer of Quon’s four-wheel drive vehicles to meet demand for snow removal, agricultural and livestock vehicles that require four-wheel drive vehicles to deliver.

April 1, 2006: Vehicles equipped with 6UZ1 engines 2005 Emission Regulations compliant vehicles were added. Equipment extension for the finished “G Cargo” and additional settings for the “Super G Cargo” with short cab and roof bed.

March 2007: A minor change was made in advance on a car equipped with a 6UZ1 engine. It’s practically a Type 7, but for some reason the model is a Type 8 by skipping 7 (Example: PDG-CYL77V8). The grill design of the front cover has been changed to a so-called “6-cube”. At the same time, it is also a big feature that the black belt that existed just below the front windshield has disappeared. The “GIGA” logo was also redesigned and the front logo was moved from the left side to the right side to share the image with the elf and to the front. Low cabin specifications are abolished. All vehicle types meet the new long-term emissions regulations, and vehicles that meet the 2015 fuel efficiency standards will be designated as core vehicle types. Newly developed millimeter wave radar vehicle distance warning device and cruise control as “VAT”. The trim on the top of the bumper was changed from black to seagull grey.

Facelift of the Isuzu Giga (Phase II)

June 2007: A minor change was postponed on cars with the 6WG1 engine. An electronic vehicle attitude control system (IESC) is newly introduced for the tractor. The 6WF1 type motor will be phased out.

October 2007 : Development of a collision damage reduction brake that automatically decelerates when driving dangerously to reduce collision damage. Expand IESC to motorcycles.

February 2009: Mirrors for trucks have become aerodynamic and door turn signals have been downsized and converted to clear lenses to comply with regulations (ECE/R48). A side monitoring monitor has also been added to “VAT”.

May 17, 2010: Big little change. It is practically Type 8, but the number at the end of the model disappears (Example: LKG-CYL77A). The A at the end means it’s the first Giga, and on models other than the long chassis, the alphabet denoting the length of the chassis is placed after the A. The urea SCR system co-developed with Hino is combined with DPD to meet the requirements with the 2009 emission regulations. As a rule, motorcycles are unified with an engine of the 6UZ1 type. A 16-speed MT with an auxiliary gearbox is newly adjusted for the dump truck (CXZ / CYZ). The cabin has expanded the front grille area to improve engine cooling performance and the headlights have been changed to the same as the front vehicle with increased tonnage specification. Also, the 22.5-inch wheels have been changed from JIS standard 8 studs to ISO standard 10 studs.

Giga 2010 model (first and last model

October 28, 2014 : Partly improved. VAT / IESC (Electronic Vehicle Attitude Control System) is standard equipment. A short driver’s cab is set for the 3-axle vehicle.

Defects and recalls[ edit ]

In 2008, 2,225 2007 model year Japanese Giga models were recalled after they were found to have faulty gas caps that could cause fuel to leak into the tank.

In 2009, 5,475 Japanese Giga Turbo models from the 1999-2005 model years were recalled after they were found to have faulty turbos that could cause damage to the turbine blades and performance could be inadequate, resulting in inoperability.[ 7]

In 2019, 1,205 Australian CX and EX models from the 2010 and 2019 model years were recalled after they were found to have faulty front underrun protection device (FUPD) reinforcement brackets which could cause the FUPD to fail when on a front-end collision.[8]

Second generation (2015–present) [ edit ]

Second generation Isuzu Giga fire truck

An Isuzu Giga with a trailer

Announced at the Tokyo Motor Show 2015

October 28, 2015: Complete model change of the second generation Giga motorcycle system before the tractor system, and it is sold nationwide. This is the first Isuzu heavy-duty truck to continue undergoing a full model change with the same vehicle name (until now, the vehicle name for each FMC has changed from New Power to 810 to Giga). The motto is “Let’s run together”. Most of the cab skeleton and components have been shared with Strikers and Elves (the new Giga cab’s monocoque itself is the same as the front wide cab), and the radiator opening has been widened to improve cooling, aerodynamics and economic performance. .. In addition, after the 2010s, parts such as headlights and mirrors continue to be used with the same parts as the original Giga, and interior lights etc. are derived from Profia. Inside the cab, the instrument panel is crafted into a semi-circular instrument panel to improve seat support and breathability. In addition, a steering switch and a multi-information display with a 4-inch LCD monitor were adopted. There are four types of cabins: a full cabin, a full cabin with a high roof and a high ceiling, a short cabin without a bed, and a two-story short cabin with a maxi roof and a bed above the cabin. In addition, standard and custom grades are specified. The 6UZ1 with a displacement of 9.8 liters is still used as the engine. However, improvements have been made such as B. Establishing a continuously variable capacity of the turbocharger to improve torque at low to medium speed. In addition, ecostop is standard equipment on cargo and dump trucks to improve fuel efficiency and improve engine body. Transmission uses Smoother-Gx (Smoother Gx) . In addition, the braking ability of the secondary brake is enhanced by the standard engine retarder. In addition, the vehicles equipped with 6UZ1-TCS and 12-level smoother Gx use the “Smart Glide” inertial driving function to improve fuel efficiency. The pre-crash braking system uses a dual detection system, which refers to the camera in addition to millimeter-wave radar, which greatly improves the accuracy of forward detection. A collision avoidance assist function for moving obstacles has been added in addition to the traditional braking function for damage limitation. In addition, when the camera recognizes the lane and the system detects that the vehicle is deviating from the lane, a function is added to warn the driver of a lane departure warning by a warning sound and a display of a liquid crystal monitor meter. MIMAMORI , which is a further development of the old Mimamori-kun, is adopted by default, and various information supports and easy detection of vehicle status are realized. In addition, by using the vehicle data obtained from MIMAMORI in the advanced original maintenance system “PREISM”, we have established a system for securing vehicle utilization. Equipped with the above new innovations and new mechanisms, weight gain is suppressed over the traditional model.

Small change on May 14, 2021. The Emergency Driving Stop System (EDSS), which is the first truck to deal with unusual drivers, was discontinued as an option on all models. The driver anomaly response system is a combination of an automatic anomaly detection type and a push button type, and operates when the driver status monitor (DSM) detects an anomaly in the driver or the driver himself presses the EDSS switch. After the process, the status will be notified to the registered email address. It is also equipped with an EDSS cancel switch as a countermeasure against erroneous operation of the EDSS switch by the driver.

With the full model change, the symbol at the end of the model has changed from the original Giga QKG-CYL77 A to QPG-CYL77 B, such as 6×2.

There are several reasons for this, but perhaps the most important is that a commercial vehicle that has to move tens of tons on the freeway needs power: lots of power.

Therefore, diesel engines win for the time being.

Apart from the cost of the fuel and the kilometers that a diesel can do compared to a petrol engine with the same number of liters in the tank (another benefit of the diesel), diesel vehicles also have a longer lifespan and a longer lifespan.

This is a major advantage for companies with truck fleets – we are talking about up to a million kilometers more compared to a petrol engine.

Although other options may become available in the future, such as B. LNG, which some experts say could eventually outperform diesel, the reality is that commercial vehicle companies are still choosing diesel today.

The same applies to manufacturers who offer few alternatives.

Truck fuel consumption data

So what is the diesel consumption per truck kilometer?

Of course, it depends on its size and payload, and whether it’s driving through urban or suburban environments. Let’s calculate with an average of about 30 to 40 liters of diesel per 100 km. For larger trucks with a payload of around 23,500 kg, consumption can increase to up to 38 liters per 100 kilometers. Smaller and less loaded vehicles consume less. A small truck with a payload of around 16,000 kg consumes around 25 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers.

According to the report of the Spanish Observatory of Road Freight Transport Costs (Observatorio de Costes del Transporte de Mercancías por Carretera), published in October 2019 by the Ministerio de Fomento (Spain’s Ministry of Public Works and Transport), an articulated vehicle with a payload of 25,000 kg of the yearly travels around 120,000 km, has a fuel consumption of more than 40,700 euros.

It would consume 35 liters per 100 kilometers.

Today this accounts for about 30% of the total cost of the vehicle.

What about delivery trucks?

Vans are a special case as there is a wider range and even electric models to handle the delivery of goods within cities.

Due to their smaller size and payload, however, their diesel consumption is also reduced, which is only around 11 liters per 100 kilometers on average.
