FAW TRUCKS JH6, equipped with WP15NG560E61 gas engine, has a displacement of 14.6 litres, a maximum output power of 416 kW (560 hp), and a maximum torque output of 2,600 Nm in the range of 950-1350r/min. This means that whether accelerating, climbing or running at high speeds, the JH6 can easily cope with them and show strong explosive power, while achieving better fuel economy.
Born from Weichai's 54.16% intrinsic thermal efficiency platform, this natural gas engine boasts leading technologies such as precise control of air-fuel ratio technology, offset crankshaft, low friction, low power consumption, and pulsed exhaust, which bring the JH6 outstanding power output and excellent fuel economy.
The star product of FAW TRUCKS power, CA6SM4 series gas engine, is also the "core kinetic energy" of JH6, with a displacement of 13.2 litres, power ranging from 460 to 570 hp, and maximum torque reaching 2600 Nm. Adopting the new generation Econtrols electronic control system and high turbulence energy Miller cycle combustion technology, its combustion is more accurate and full, and its performance is close to the level of 15-litre models.
In terms of transmission system, the 560 hp JH6 is equipped with a 16-speed integrated AMT gearbox from Shaanxi Gear, with a top speed ratio of 0.828. The gearbox has a transmission efficiency of up to 99.8%, an advanced structural design, and an integrated design of the key components, which improves the waterproof, dust-proof and anti-vibration level and ensures stable and consistent performance in a variety of scenarios.
In addition, the vehicle also adopts Faster's hydraulic retarder, which can achieve a braking torque of 4,000 Nm, providing a strong safety guarantee, while reducing the wear and tear of the main brake and tyres, which directly reduces the operating costs of the vehicle.
The lightweight design of JH6 can be called a "unique skill", through lightweight technology, high-strength materials and a new frame optimisation scheme and other measures, the weight of the vehicle can be reduced to between 8.3 and 8.9 tonnes. The gas cylinder is expanded to 1500L to meet the demand of long-distance trunk line operation.
In terms of appearance, the JH6 has undergone a number of upgrades, including updates to the styling, light clusters and waistline design, which ensure aerodynamic performance while being more in line with modern aesthetics. In particular, the new Maldives colour scheme is impressive.
In terms of the driving experience, the JH6 is based on the concept of "making the transport process an easy and free journey". It adopts a flat-floor cab design with an external width of 2.495 metres and a cab interior height of 2.05 metres, providing comfortable space for the driver.
The interior of the cockpit adopts a new colour scheme to enhance the vehicle's sense of quality, and is equipped with a multi-functional steering wheel and a number of seat adjustment functions to provide drivers with a comfortable driving environment. The centre control area provides a 10-inch ultra-high-definition multimedia system with a 360-degree panoramic image, effectively preventing collisions.
The automatic model of JH6 Pilot Edition adopts knob shift design, which is simple and practical and improves the effective use of aisle space. The sleeper is designed with a width of 860mm to provide rest with the vehicle, and the single bed can be upgraded to a double bed through the optional expansion package, which greatly enhances the ride comfort.
The FAW TRUCKS JH6 leads the new era of high-horsepower gas heavy-duty trucks with its outstanding power performance, fuel economy and user-friendly design.
