Entering the Euro VI era, Isuzu re-planned its medium and heavy truck products. Its models adopt a brand-new naming method, and the familiar names such as FTR and FVR will be replaced by new code names.
Among them, the previous FTR four-cylinder engine model was renamed GIGA 4X, while FVR and FVZ became GIGA 5X. The difference between the two is not only the engine, but also the width of the cab.
It is reported that this Isuzu GIGA 5X dangerous goods van transport vehicle is a dangerous chemical transport vehicle specially designed according to the special requirements of the hazardous chemical industry.
At first glance ISUZU GIGA 5X, you will feel that it is no different from the GIGA tractors sold today. Isuzu’s family-style double V-shaped front center grid design is highly recognizable. Vertical headlights are rare in many medium and heavy-duty truck brands, and it can be regarded as a feature that distinguishes competitors.
Compared with the fullness of the high-roof cab of the tractor, the flat-roof cab used in the GIGA 5X is capable and sophisticated. The vehicle uses the same color bumper and rearview mirror, which gives people a refreshing feeling at first glance. On the side of the door, the words GIGA 5X clearly indicate the series to which the vehicle belongs.
After the implementation of Euro VI emission standards for heavy-duty trucks, the manpower and material resources invested by OEMs in the aftertreatment of vehicle engines have reached a new level.
The Isuzu GIGA 5X hazardous chemicals transporter is equipped with a 6HK1-TCG60 inline six-cylinder turbocharged diesel engine with a displacement of 7.79 liters, Euro VI stage b emissions, a maximum output of 300 horsepower, and a maximum torque of 1000 Nm.
The gearbox adopts the fast 9-speed manual gearbox which is common in heavy trucks. The steering gear is equipped with a power steering system, with ABS, air brake, muffler front, and reasonable air outlet settings.
The exhaust aftertreatment system of the Isuzu GIGA 5X hazardous chemicals truck, including SCR, DOC, DPF and other components, are all from Bosch, Germany.
As we all know, the vehicle engineering technology of the Bosch Group belongs to the first echelon worldwide, and Qingling Isuzu has formed a long-term partnership with Bosch. The two parties have carried out in-depth cooperation in diesel engine aftertreatment and hydrogen fuel research and development, and worked together to create cleaner and more environmentally friendly commercial vehicles.
Hazardous chemicals vehicles, the safety of the vehicles themselves are the guarantee for people’s lives, property and the cargo they carry. Therefore, the Isuzu GIGA Hazardous Chemicals Transporter is equipped with a variety of electronic auxiliary safety systems.
Lane keeping, forward collision warning, etc. can all be found on it. The parts used in the brake system of the whole vehicle are all from Knorr-Bremse, Germany.
In terms of chassis, front axle disc brakes are already mandatory requirements for hazardous chemicals vehicles. The drive axle uses the same Meritor axle as the giant coffee tractor.
According to the requirements for the transportation of hazardous chemicals, the shock absorption of the double rear axle is air springs, which also allows it to be loaded with one ton more than the leaf springs, and the total weight of the truck and cargo is limited to 26 tons.
The upper body of the vehicle adopts a full-composite board-type carriage, which reduces its own weight and has both beautiful appearance and flame-retardant effect. There are vents on the top of the carriage, and two rubber static conductive trailer belts are installed at the rear of the carriage. The overall and details of the carriage are well done.
Entering the car, the familiar ISUZU GIGA interior style is still the same. However, a closer inspection reveals that the instrument panel has been updated from a traditional mechanical pointer instrument to a large LCD screen with optional reversing image and reversing radar, which gives people a refreshing feeling.
The speed indicator and the speed indicator are located on both sides of the screen. The center displays important driving information. The aforementioned collision warning prompts will also be displayed on it.
The Isuzu GIGA 5X Dangerous goods van transport vehicle adopts the form of electronic speed limit, and the maximum speed of the vehicle is controlled at 80Km/h. At the same time, in accordance with the relevant requirements of the ADR regulations of hazardous chemicals vehicles, the wiring harnesses used in the vehicles are all flame-retardant treatment, and the total power supply is located in the most prominent position of the instrument panel. In an emergency, the entire vehicle can be powered off as soon as possible.
There is a sleeping berth behind the main and co-pilot seats. Although it is not as wide as the sleeping berth of a giant coffee tractor, for a truck, the size of this berth can already provide enough resting space. Sun shade guide rails are installed on the roof, so you can enjoy undisturbed sleep during the day.
Because it is a flat-top cab, the storage space in the car is naturally not comparable to that of a high-top model. However, the Isuzu GIGA 5X hazardous chemicals transporter still has two small storage compartments above the windshield.
In accordance with the requirements of the regulatory authorities, the ISUZU GIGA 5X Dangerous goods van transport vehicle is equipped with a camera on the head of the co-driver to facilitate observation and remind the driver of irregular behavior during driving.
After the implementation of Euro VI, Isuzu GIGA series medium and heavy vehicles have also been fully upgraded. At present, a variety of products such as GIGA 4X, GIGA 5X, GIGA VC66, etc. have been formed, and the drive format covers 4×2 to 8×4.
