The Cummins Powertrain Of The Foton Auman GTL National VI Dump Truck Is Highly Efficient

Dec 05, 2025

The apple green paint job symbolizes environmental protection first. The engineering version of the bumper is more professional

QQ20251205103529The Foton Auman GTL eco-friendly construction waste truck features a distinctive apple green paint job. Compared with the deep blue and diamond silver paint jobs commonly used by long-distance logistics transport vehicles, it truly stands out as a bright card in urban construction waste transportation.
In terms of appearance, the Foton Auman GTL still inherits the family's distinctive black grille, which has a very high recognition rate. At the same time, the spoilers on both sides not only serve an aesthetic purpose but also reduce the impact of stains on the door handle.
A prominent white construction waste transportation indicator light is placed in the center of the top of the vehicle roof. When turned on at night, it can serve as aQQ20251205103900 safety warning.
The wide-body sun visor at the front effectively reduces ultraviolet rays during daytime driving and minimizes the problem of unclear vision caused by the ever-changing light at night.
The bumper adopts a three-section component that is easy to disassemble and replace. Even if it is damaged, it does not have to be completely replaced, saving a considerable amount of working hours and maintenance costs.
The bottom secondary bumper is also made of hard metal, which can play a certain active safety role especially when passing through complex working conditions. The ground clearance of nearly 400mm provides more ideal passability.
Construction waste transport vehicles often travel through muddy and undulating complex working conditions. Therefore, the headlights adopt a small-sized integrated design. The built-in lens light source provides better lighting effects under the changeable working conditions at night.
However, considering the uncertainty of the frequent driving conditions of the vehicle, a hard metal protective mesh should also be installed outside the headlights to reduce the probability of damage caused by external force collisions.

The Cummins National VI B powertrain with an environmentally friendly and enhanced chassis configuration is more adaptable

 In terms of power, it is equipped with a 11.8L displacement Foton Cummins X12NS6B410 engine, which meets the National VI B emission standards, with a maximum power of 410 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2100N.m.
The environmental protection requirements that this power chain meets mean that its entire life cycle is within a more ideal and reasonable range, QQ20251205104311QQ20251205104322which means that transportation enterprises do not need to worry about environmental protection restrictions and other issues for a relatively long period of time.
It is matched with a FAST 12-speed iron case transmission, with a first gear ratio of 15.53 and an overdrive gear at the rear. In light of the current transportation requirements, ZF Traxon series 12-speed engineering AMT transmissions should also be provided according to changes in working conditions. Even if drivers are frequently changed, it will not increase fuel consumption costs too much.
The vehicle is equipped with a 9T front axle and a 16T Mercedes-Benz wheel-side reduction axle with a speed ratio of 5.26. The entire vehicle adopts a more adaptable drum braking structure, and with the application of 11/11/14 steel plate suspension, it effectively meets the demands of construction waste vehicles under non-paved conditions at construction sites.
Due to the special working conditions, the entire vehicle is equipped with steel wire tires of 12.00R20 size. Generally, the engine's economic speed is within 1200-1500 RPM, and its speed is basically 45-56km/h. Combining the dense population and vehicles in urban conditions with the complex transportation environment within construction sites, it can not only enhance driving safety but also achieve better fuel savings.
Considering the urban working conditions and the characteristics of heavy outbound and light return of this type of vehicle, with a fuel consumption of 36L per 100 kilometers, the total range of a fuel tank capacity of 300L is approximately 830km, eliminating the need for frequent fuel replenishment every day and extending the transportation time.
The after-treatment system that meets the National VI B standard adopts a compact design, occupying less chassis space compared to the larger-sized after-treatment systems used in other powertrains. At the same time, the external aluminum alloy insulation layer also plays a better safety role for the vehicle when driving and parking in urban conditions.
The basic dimensions of the vehicle body are 8960x2550x3650 (mm), the wheelbase is 2100+2300+1400 (mm), the basic dimensions of the cargo box are 5600x2350x1500 (mm), the curb weight is 15,500kg, and the rated load capacity is 15,370kg.

The driving and riding space is extremely comfortable. The 700mm wide body is rare in the industry

This model is equipped with three-section foot pedals. The built-in aluminum alloy material is convenient for truck drivers to get on and off the vehicle. QQ20251205104916The bottom of the foot pedals adopts movable parts, so they will not deform too much even in the event of external force collision.
In terms of comfort, the driver's seat is equipped with a simple airbag seat. If lumbar support is added to the side of the backrest, the comfort of truck drivers when driving on paved roads will be even higher.
The steering wheel adopts the unique four-spoke design of the family style. There is a prominent three-dimensional car logo in the center position, and the handlebars are integrated with lychee patterns. The overall handling experience is impeccable.
The mechanical instrument panel adopts a flat instrument layout, with the speedometer on the left and the tachometer on the right. In the center, there is also a dual-color LCD screen, which is convenient for truck drivers to promptly understand basic information such as fuel consumption, water temperature, and driving mileage.QQ20251205104901
The shape of the center console has not undergone many changes. The semi-circular design is more in line with the current trend, making it convenient for truck drivers to perform related operations without feeling overly oppressed. All kinds of components are very easy to use.
The simple audio-visual entertainment system is equipped with an FM radio and USB external functions, allowing truck drivers to perform related entertainment operations during long-distance driving.
Below it, there are also dual differential locks, four-corner warning lights and power take-off switches. These major functions facilitate truck drivers to perform basic practical operations while driving. Especially in slippery construction sites, enhance the self-rescue ability of vehicles, bring the reliable transportation level to the extreme, and reduce the problem of insufficient driving capacity.
QQ20251205104849There is also a flat storage platform above the center console, which is convenient for installing four video surveillance cameras and the necessary on-board positioning equipment for the dump truck. There are also bidirectional air outlets at the bottom, which makes daily driving more comfortable. There are also open storage compartments at the bottom, allowing truck drivers to properly store their daily driving documents and certificates.
Although it is a flat-roof cab, the roof adopts a protruding design, providing truck drivers with a more comfortable driving and riding space. Especially when driving in bumpy conditions, it will not cause excessive sense of oppression.
The effective width of the rear bunk is 700mm, which can rank among the top in terms of comfort among vehicles of the same class. It should be noted that the transportation of construction waste usually takes place from 8:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. the next day. Even if a truck driver drives for a long time, they will still experience some degree of driving fatigue. Moreover, they often travel on unpaved roads, which requires a relatively high level of driving comfort.
