Differences in Demand For Infrastructure Project Vehicles And Long-distance Logistics Vehicles

From the perspective of usage conditions, infrastructure project vehicles are mainly used for short distance, heavy load, and high-frequency start stop. Most of the construction sites have dirt roads, gravel roads, and bumpy roads, requiring vehicles to frequently start, climb slopes, reverse, and unload with full load. The entire vehicle is in a bumpy and high-intensity impact state for a long time. Long distance logistics vehicles mainly use flat and asphalt roads, with smooth driving conditions, pursuing long-term constant speed cruising and long-distance endurance, and higher requirements for vehicle stability and fuel economy.
There are significant differences in power configuration requirements. Priority is given to high torque and high speed ratio when using vehicles for infrastructure construction sites, with a focus on starting explosive power and climbing ability. With a power output of over 460 horsepower and a high speed ratio rear axle, it can easily handle heavy load starting, muddy and difficult to get out of, and steep slope driving. The power reserve is sufficient, and it is not easy to hold the car, high temperature, or damage the power system. Long distance logistics vehicles place greater emphasis on economical cruising, with a medium horsepower engine paired with a small speed ratio rear axle, resulting in lower engine speeds and more fuel-efficient transportation. It is suitable for thousands of kilometers of mainline transportation and effectively reduces long-distance operating costs.
The emphasis on chassis and body structure is different. Infrastructure vehicles must strengthen their chassis load-bearing capacity, often using double-layer frames, thickened leaf springs, and reinforced suspension structures. The cargo box steel plate is thickened, wear-resistant, and collision resistant, which can resist the impact of construction site gravel and heavy objects, and improve the vehicle's deformation resistance and durability. Logistics vehicles focus on lightweight design, with a lighter body weight that can carry more goods within the compliant load range, increasing the profit of each transportation. The chassis is mainly stable, comfortable, and fuel-efficient.
There is a significant difference in braking and endurance configurations. Frequent starting and stopping of construction vehicles require high brake wear resistance, and the overall braking system tends to be designed for heavy-duty durability. Long distance logistics vehicles should focus on strengthening the auxiliary braking and brake cooling system for long downhill slopes, and be equipped with large capacity fuel tanks to reduce the number of refueling times and improve transportation efficiency. In addition, logistics vehicles pay more attention to the comfort of the cab to ensure the long-distance driving status of drivers.
