Urban infrastructure construction has entered a new stage of development. The project's smooth progress is inseparable from the assistance of specialized construction waste dump trucks. We analyze that when such groups choose vehicles, the main demands of the owners can be 
summarized in the following aspects:
1) Energy conservation and emission reduction: Dump trucks often enter the main urban roads at night when traffic is sparse to transport construction materials. To meet the stringent standards of the new Euro VI powertrain, these vehicles have a more reliable service life.
2) Stability of power supply: During normal transportation of construction waste, the vehicles mostly travel on paved roads. However, once they enter the construction site and encounter unpaved roads, full-load driving will impose even more stringent requirements on the reliability of the power system.
3) More practical: In cases where strict over-limit enforcement is carried out, compact-length compliant vehicles are favored by many construction material transportation companies.
So, this article from Truck Home will introduce to truck drivers a 5m8 environmentally friendly dump truck with a 410-horsepower engine and Fastrac transmission - BAIC Foton OMTRG. We will also check whether it meets the requirements for long-distance logistics transportation based on the operational scenarios.
The apple green paint finish symbolizes environmental protection taking precedence. The engineering version of the bumper features greater professionalism.
The Ouman GTL environmental-friendly construction waste truck adopts a distinctive apple green paint finish. Compared with the dark blue, diamond silver and other paint finishes commonly used by long-distance logistics vehicles, it truly becomes a shining symbol in the urban construction waste removal process.
In terms of appearance, the OMAN GTL still retains the distinctive black grille of the family, which has a high degree of recognizability. At the same time, the air dams on both sides not only enhance the aesthetic appeal but also reduce the impact of dirt on the door handles.
A prominent white construction waste transportation indicator light is located in the center above the roof. When it is turned on at night, it can serve as a safety warning.
The front wide sunshade effectively reduces ultraviolet rays during daytime driving and also minimizes the problem of unclear vision caused by the changing light conditions at night.
The bumper is equipped with a detachable and replaceable three-section component. Even if it gets damaged, it doesn't need to be replaced entirely, thus saving a significant amount of labor time and maintenance costs.
The lower auxiliary bumper is also made of hard metal material. Especially when driving in complex conditions, it can play a certain role in active safety. With a ground clearance of nearly 400mm, it offers better passability.
Excavated soil transport vehicles frequently operate in complex and uneven conditions, such as muddy and uneven terrains. Therefore, the headlights adopt a small-sized integrated design. The built-in lens light source provides better lighting performance in the variable conditions during the night.
However, considering the uncertainty of the vehicle's operating conditions, it is also necessary to install a hard metal protective net outside the headlights to reduce the probability of damage caused by external impacts.
Cummins' sixth-generation B engine powertrain leads the way in environmental protection. The enhanced chassis configuration offers greater adaptability.
In terms of power, the 11.8L engine used is the Foton Cummins X12NS6B410, which complies with the Euro VI B emission standard. It has a maximum power of 410 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2100 N.m. This powertrain meets the environmental protection requirements, which means that throughout its entire lifecycle it operates within a more ideal and reasonable range. This also means that transportation companies will not have to worry about environmental restrictions and other issues for a relatively long period of time.
The corresponding transmission is Fastrac 12-speed iron-case transmission, with a first gear ratio of 15.53 and a super-speed gear at the last position. Considering the current transportation requirements, it is also necessary to provide the ZF Traxon series 12-speed engineering version AMT transmission based on the changes in working conditions, even if the driver changes frequently, it will not increase excessive fuel consumption costs.
The vehicle is equipped with a 9T front axle and a 16T Mercedes wheel-side reduction gear with a speed ratio of 5.26. The entire vehicle adopts a more adaptable drum brake structure, and in addition, the application of 11/11/14 sheet steel suspension effectively meets the needs of the construction waste vehicle in non-paved construction site conditions.
Due to the special nature of the working conditions, the entire vehicle adopts steel wire tires of size 12.00R20, 
with the engine operating at an economic speed of 1200-1500 rpm, and the speed is basically within 45-56 km/h. Considering the dense personnel and vehicles in urban conditions and the complex transportation environment within the construction site, it can not only improve driving safety but also achieve better fuel-saving results.
Based on the characteristics of urban conditions and heavy-to-light return trips of such vehicles, according to a fuel consumption of 36L per 100 kilometers, the total range of a fuel tank with a total capacity of 300L is approximately 830 km, eliminating the frequent refueling time required for transportation every day.
The after-treatment system that meets the standards of Euro VI B adopts a compact design. Compared with the larger-sized after-treatment systems used in other power chains, it occupies less chassis space. At the same time, the external aluminum heat insulation layer also plays a better safety role for the vehicle's driving, parking and regenerative braking in urban conditions.
Basic vehicle dimensions: 8960x2550x3650 (mm), wheelbase 2100 + 2300 + 1400 (mm), basic cargo box dimensions: 5600x2350x1500 (mm), curb weight 15500 kg, rated load capacity 15370 kg.
The passenger and driver space offers extremely high comfort. With a width of 700mm, it is quite rare to find such a spacious interior.
This model is equipped with a three-stage foot pedal. The aluminum alloy material used for the internal part allows drivers to get on and off the vehicle. The foot pedal at the bottom is of an adjustable type, and even if it is subjected to external force impact, it will not undergo excessive deformation.
In terms of comfort, the driver's seat is equipped with a simple airbag seat. If the side of the backrest is reinforced with lumbar support, the comfort level for the truck driver when driving on paved roads will be even higher.
The steering wheel adopts the distinctive four-spoke design of the family brand. In the center position, there is a prominent three-dimensional logo. The handle is integrated with the lotus flower pattern. The overall handling experience is impeccable.
The mechanical instrument panel adopts a flat instrument layout. On the left is the speedometer, on the right is the tachometer, and in the middle there is a dual-color LCD display, which is convenient for truck drivers to promptly obtain basic information such as fuel consumption, water temperature, and mileage.
The design of the center console has not undergone significant changes. The semi-enclosed design is more in line with current trends, making it easier for truck drivers to perform related operations without feeling overly constrained. The various components are very convenient to use.
The simple audio-visual entertainment system is equipped with an FM radio and USB external functions. During long-distance driving, car owners can perform related entertainment operations.
Below it, there are also dual differential locks, four-corner warning lights and a power take-off switch. These several functions facilitate the drivers to perform basic practical operations while driving. Especially in slippery construction sites, they can enhance the vehicle's ability to self-deploy in emergencies, achieve the ultimate reliable transportation level, and reduce the problem of insufficient driving capacity.
Above the control console, there is a flat storage platform, which is convenient for installing four-way video surveillance and the necessary on-board positioning equipment for the dump truck; below it, there are bidirectional air outlets, making the daily driving comfort higher. Moreover, there is an open storage compartment below, allowing drivers to properly organize their documents and certificates during driving.
Although it is a flat roof cab, the roof of the vehicle adopts an elevated design, providing truck drivers with a more comfortable driving and riding space. Especially when driving in bumpy conditions, it won't cause excessive pressure or discomfort.
The effective width of the rear sleeper berth is 700mm, and its comfort level in the same class of vehicles ranks among the top. You should know that the transportation of construction waste usually takes place from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. in the next day. When a driver operates for a long time, there will be some driving fatigue, and they often have to drive on unpaved roads. Therefore, a higher level of driving comfort is required.
