With the rapid development of technology, more and more Chinese trucks are equipped with high-horsepower engines. Large-displacement, high-horsepower engines can bring surging power performance, help optimize transportation efficiency, and more easily cope with transportation with high time-efficiency requirements.

High-horsepower heavy-duty trucks have always been pioneers in technological innovation. Beijing ZhuiMeng 6×4 flagship tractor made a stunning debut in early 2024. The vehicle is not only equipped with a 680-horsepower engine, but also has a comfortable cab, eye-catching appearance, and ultra-high efficiency. In today’s article, we will take you to taste it together.

680 Horsepower Engine + ZF TraXon Gearbox,Efficient Power Chain

First, let’s start with the vehicle’s power chain. In terms of engine configuration, this Beijing ZhuiMeng 6×4 tractor uses a Cummins 15-liter large-displacement straight-six diesel engine. It can output 680 horsepower and 3200 Nm of torque, and the maximum torque platform covers 900 to 1400 rpm. Excellent transient response capability is the advantage of this engine. In short, the maximum torque comes earlier and the response is more sensitive. At the same time, the torque platform covers a wide range and power is on call, which greatly improves the vehicle’s mobility.

The surging power of 680 horsepower and 3200 Nm of torque enables theBeijing ZhuiMeng  6×4 tractor to easily cope with the challenges of mountain roads. At the same time, the mass production thermal efficiency of this engine reaches 48%. Matching the ultra-large torque and wide torque range, the engine speed is lower during high-speed cruising. It helps increase the average vehicle speed, while reducing fuel consumption and enabling efficient transportation.

The transmission matched with the engine is ZF’s fourth-generation TraXon transmission, which is one of the most advanced AMT transmissions for heavy trucks today. As the flagship product of ZF’s heavy-duty AMT transmission, TraXon adopts a 12+2 gear arrangement and has a transmission efficiency of up to 99.7%. Its first gear ratio is large, optimizing low-speed vehicle maneuvering and heavy-load starting performance. At the same time, the addition of overdrive gear and direct gear improves the vehicle’s fuel consumption performance during high-speed cruising, making it more efficient.

The fourth-generation ZF TraXon transmission equipped on the Beijing ZhuiMeng 6×4 tractor has a compact structure and uses a dual countershaft design internally. It is matched with a coaxial clutch system and the world’s leading helical gear technology to improve transmission efficiency. At the same time, the reliability and durability of the transmission are further improved. At the same time, Beijing’s heavy-duty Dream Dream 6×4 tractor is also equipped with a ZF hydraulic retarder, which matches the engine’s maximum braking power of 612 horses, greatly improving the safety of the vehicle on long downhill sections. It can run fast and stop well.

In terms of axle configuration, the Beijing ZhuiMeng 6×4 tractor adopts a dual Fangsheng 445 high-efficiency drive axle with a gear ratio of 2.846 and a V-shaped thrust rod limiter. The maintenance interval of the rear axle is 100,000 kilometers. Longer maintenance intervals reduce the user’s cost of use. Users can also choose to use Qingte rear axle with the same gear ratio. Under the integrated calibration of the power chain of engine + gearbox + axle, the Beijing ZhuiMeng 6×4 tractor has lower fuel consumption, more economical and efficient operation.

The vehicle uses low rolling resistance tires to further reduce fuel consumption. The rims are made of aluminum alloy, which has better lightweight performance and better appearance. Relying on “i-Beijing” digital intelligence technology, Beijing ZhuiMeng 6×4 tractor also has an intelligent fuel-saving system, which consists of three intelligent fuel-saving management systems: Smart AEO, Smart SAVE and Smart EBP. Based on real-time information such as the vehicle’s current road conditions and load, the vehicle power chain calibration, engine optimal working range, gear shift time selection, etc. are optimized and adjusted, which greatly improves the vehicle’s fuel economy.

Attractive Appearance combine with Solid and Practical Chassis Configuration

After talking about the power chain, let’s take a look at the appearance of the vehicle. As a high-end product of Beijing Heavy Truck, the front face design of the ZhuiMeng 6×4 tractor is quite impressive. Matching the high-roof cab, it is full of spirit.

The front adopts a shield-like U-shaped design, highlighting the muscularity and sophistication of the vehicle. There is a five-layer chrome front grille trim inside the front fascia. The Beijing logo is located in the center of the first grille trim strip, and the shiny shape makes the vehicle more high-end. In addition, the front millimeter wave radar is located above the bumper, and anti-skid pedal areas are designed on the left and right sides to facilitate the driver to clean the front windshield.

In terms of headlight configuration, the ZhuiMeng 6×4 tractor is also unambiguous. The vehicle uses combined LED headlights, and the internal daytime running light lines echo the front mask trim, creating a superior visual effect. Matching the fog lights below, the lighting effect is excellent in bad weather and dark environments, improving driving safety. In addition, the headlights are designed with hollows on the sides and a flow guide structure inside to allow air to flow through more smoothly and quickly, thereby reducing wind resistance and improving fuel consumption.

The vehicle’s cab adopts a high-roof sleeper cab with a flat floor structure inside, providing the driver with ample internal living space. The rear of the cab is equipped with a complete air deflector, which slightly protrudes from the body, which can guide the airflow away from the vehicle, allowing the airflow to connect more smoothly to the surface of the trailer, reducing wind resistance and thereby reducing fuel consumption.

As a tractor focused on efficient long-distance trunk line transportation, the chassis of the ZhuiMeng 6×4 tractor is fully packed. Both the left and right sides of the chassis are equipped with large-capacity aluminum alloy diesel tanks. The capacity of a single tank is 575 liters and the total volume is 1150 liters, which brings excellent endurance performance to the vehicle.
