This should be the domestically produced long-head car with the highest configuration that domestic users can buy.
JAC Geerfa V7 has actually appeared in various public occasions more than once, but if it is really put into actual use, Hangzhou's President Wang should be the first one, and he bought 6 in one breath.
In the vicinity of Qiandao Lake Scenic Area, we saw two Jianghuai Geerfa V7 long-head trucks from Mr. Wang. To be honest, from the outside, if you cover the JAC in front of the grille, many people will think it is an American car. The front face of
uses a large number of chrome-plated decorative parts, which is a common method for American heavy trucks. Since the blind spot of long-head trucks is higher than that of flat-head trucks, several round convex mirrors are specially installed on the front fenders of the vehicle to facilitate the driver's observation.
even installed a camera in the front center net to assist in observation
from the cab to observe the front convex mirror effect
aerodynamics is an advantage of long-head trucks. The curved hood guides the airflow to the windshield glass, and the high-top part that is inclined backwards just plays the role of the deflector. According to data, the drag coefficient of this car is 0.416.
is the same way as the hood of American heavy trucks. They both unbuckle on the left and right sides and flip forward.
In recent years, it has become a trend to install the camera under the reflector. The original camera is integrated under the door mirror of the Geerfa V7 cab, so no additional installation by the driver is required. The
aluminum rims enhance the appearance of Geerfa V7 to a certain extent. The front axle uses Kangmai oil to lubricate the wheel ends and Michelin 12R22.5 tubeless tires. The side guards of
can reduce wind resistance, and the pedals on the car are decorated with perforated metal to prevent water accumulation.
The two circular fuel tanks are hidden inside the pedals, and the shadow of the fuel tanks cannot be seen outside. The total volume of 1000 liters can also meet the needs of long-distance endurance. The cab suspension also uses air springs to absorb shock. In terms of power, this Geerfa V7 uses Cummins engine, 560 horsepower, 2650 Nm. According to the owner, one of the six V7s purchased uses a Sinotruk MC13 engine. The
transmission system comes from ZF’s automated manual AMT gearbox, with 12 gears and a hydraulic retarder as standard. The gear shift mechanism is similar to the Volvo I-Shift, and is installed on the side of the driver's seat. The front axle suspension of
is a two-piece parabolic leaf spring, and the rear axle is an air suspension.
Due to the front engine, the advantage of the long-head truck is that the cab can easily achieve a fully flat floor. The interior of the Geerfa V7 uses the same accessories as the K7 flat-top car. To a large extent, it imitates the Mercedes-Benz New Actros.
The storage compartment at the top of the cab protrudes more inward than the traditional flat-head truck, and the top is fixed with a net pocket, so that the driver needs items for long-distance driving can be stuffed inside. Of course, in addition to the internal storage space, the storage compartment under the sleeper can also be opened outside the car to place some driving tools. Since
is not a full-size long-head truck, the rear sleeper of the vehicle is still the size of a domestic flat-head truck. The double sleeper can meet the rest needs of the driver and co-pilot.
So what is the actual operating performance of JAC Geerfa V7? Mr. Wang said that after he bought this car, he used several cars to transport his old car in Xinjiang several times, and his current performance is very satisfactory. So for a domestic high-end heavy truck with a value of around 500,000, if you own your own car, would you choose a flat-head truck or a long-head truck?
