Photon 5 tons specifications. Foton trucks are excellent vehicles for commercial use

I wanted to write a comment on the review of Foton Auman 2011. from the author Mikhail from Znamenka written on 03/18/2014 but the text turned out to be too capacious and is not sent in the comments due to the excess of letters, so I am writing here.

This review is not to be read without laughing. I explain that such, if I may say so, a car can only be recommended to be bought by the worst enemy, and then this enemy must be very naive and gullible, and then a good friend advised, laughter. I had such a wagon, bought it out of stupidity and then constantly suffered with this Chinese invention and barely got rid of it.

About the simplicity of the so-called basic knots, it can be seen from this that the person who wrote the review is either knitting or embroidering with a cross, correctly from a technical point of view, not knots, but aggregates. I hope that the author meant the chassis and transmission, take any Japanese truck with a manual transmission and there is nothing complicated there either, from this I conclude that the words about simplicity are nothing at all.

I’ll tell you about the engine, it’s also a unit, but you can’t call it too simple, although you can’t say that it’s too complicated, but the simplicity in this engine is only that it nurses too little and it’s good if it comes out a hundred thousand, and then it’s only good for scrap, because when he dies on the Chinese, in most cases he shows the fist of friendship.

The design is like that of the Japanese, the external and only external similarity of the cabin suggests that it was licked with the Izuzu Forward, which is a five-ton truck and has an engine power of 180-220 hp, depending on the configuration. with., and this Photon has an engine with a capacity of 140 liters. With. and the sellers beat their heels in the chest that this Photon has a carrying capacity of seven tons, laughter. I agree that it will carry seven tons, but this capacity is very small for such a carrying capacity and at least 180 horses are needed.

About the van - in general, laughter, almost all domestic vans cause a lot of complaints, and the most important thing is that in the rain they flow like a sieve. I know only one Russian company for the production of vans (I will not voice the name), they really make very high-quality vans, but their prices are simply cosmic and they cost 3-4 times more than all the other miserable vans.

About fittings... What does good and comfortable mean?! In my opinion, there is no logic in these words.

About fuel consumption ... I wonder how this consumption can feel like ?! And 14 liters is too low a figure, the real fuel consumption on the highway for this Photon at a speed of 80 km / h is 16 liters in the summer in the absence of a head and side wind.

The expression "workhorse" refers to reliable trucks, which the Chinese have nothing to do with.

A new car with a guarantee for such money is hard to find, I would say that it’s not that difficult, but simply not realistic to find.

About the guarantee for Chinese cars - this is generally a separate issue. You pay the seller a lot of money for technical warranty service, but there is a huge “but”, when any kind of breakdown appears soon after purchasing this miracle of technology, you can forget about the guarantee and believe that all the blame for any breakdown will be blamed on you, and now think about why you need such a guarantee and throwing out more than one hundred thousand rubles a year for such warranty service if you yourself can easily change the oil, adjust the valves, syringe and bring the pads. Believe me, that apart from this, they do nothing else for THAT !!!

Conclusion, the review was written by the seller in a nutshell and about nothing.

Photon 1069 is one of the most popular models in the line of the Chinese brand. The car in terms of carrying capacity is considered the flagship of the middle class. The Foton 1069 is both a simple and practical small size truck with excellent commercial features, making it a great buy for any company.

When developing the Photon 1069, the brand chose not manufacturability, but the simplicity and availability of cars as a priority. The result is an economical and reliable model. In terms of performance, transport is among the leaders. Despite the Chinese assembly, it is in great demand even in developed countries. Low cost and good quality made Foton 1069 very popular among consumers.

Model history and purpose

The history of the Photon 1069 model is relatively short. Truck production began in the mid-2000s. Initially, it was intended exclusively for the Chinese market and quickly became widespread. In China, the demand for the model is very high, since there are many manufacturing companies in a small space that need finished products and raw materials.

However, the Foton 1069 did not become a model only for the domestic market. Gradually, the ultra-cheap truck got out of the Asian region. In 2008, the car began to be imported to Russia, where, due to its low cost, it quickly pressed the domestic GAZelles. Now Foton 1069 is quite popular with domestic consumers, although not everyone trusts Chinese quality. True, lately, talk about the mythical problems of products from the Middle Kingdom has faded into the background, and there are more and more fans of Photon 1069.

In comparison with the “classmates”, the truck does not stand out with interesting external parameters and has a rather primitive appearance. Its design is extremely simple. Standard cab, large front bumper and mirrors, convenient instrument layout and medium-sized windshield. At the same time, the model can be immediately recognized by the large Foton inscription on the front. The main differences from competitors are manifested in technical equipment.

The main advantages of the car are:

• the presence of several body options to expand the scope of use of the model;
• high load capacity (up to 4 tons), which guarantees an advantageous distribution of resources;
• excellent technical characteristics, due to which the car can be operated in a universal way;
• sufficiently high quality of the elements;
• low cost;
• compactness, which makes the machine very maneuverable;
• unpretentiousness in operation. Foton 1069 will not require careful care and expensive maintenance, and the cost of spare parts and assemblies will please the owner of the equipment;
• moderate fuel consumption, creating additional savings;
• adaptation to Russian operating conditions. The truck endures the winter period, which lasts quite a long time, very confidently, while individual European counterparts begin to create serious problems.

The scope of Foton 1069 is quite extensive and is determined by the chosen modification of the model. The Chinese brand offers the following designs:

• europlatform - a van with an awning body with a side and top sliding curtain;
• standard onboard platform with folding sides;
• frameless isothermal van made of sandwich panels. This modification is perfect for transporting food products due to the ability to maintain certain temperature conditions;
• a manufactured goods van with a rigid structure, which prevents unauthorized persons from getting inside the van.

Photon 1069 is one of the most successful versions of medium-duty trucks, which will help you save money and complete all your tasks.

The wheel formula of the truck is four by two. Wheel specifications for Photon 1069 - 7.50R16.

Engine

The engine is one of the main advantages of the Foton 1069 model. Due to the large volume of the engine, the car can transport heavy loads over long distances without any damage.

The machine is equipped with a 4-stroke diesel unit model Perkins Phaser135Ti with direct fuel injection, turbocharging and air-to-air intercooling. The engine has an in-line arrangement of cylinders.

Characteristics of the power plant:

• working volume - 4 l;
• rated power - 101 (137) kW (hp);
• compression ratio - 17.5;
• maximum torque - 445 Nm;
• number of cylinders - 4.

The Perkins Phaser135Ti motor stands out for its ability to climb steep grades and accelerates faster. In addition, it is perfect for Russian conditions. Cold start of the unit is performed without problems. The engine is quite unpretentious and works well on domestic diesel fuel.

Device

One of the design features of the Foton 1069 is its lightweight design. This advantage is especially evident in the onboard versions of the model, which, due to their low weight, have greater efficiency. The layout of the car is standard for the brand's products - cabover with a longitudinal front arrangement of the unit. Due to this, the driver has the most convenient view to the front.

Front suspension Photon 1069 - dependent on longitudinal semi-elliptical springs. It also includes double acting hydraulic shock absorbers. The rear suspension is also dependent on longitudinal semi-elliptical springs and is built by analogy with the front.

The steering is mechanical ball. Already in the basic version, the model is equipped with a power steering. The truck engine is paired with a reliable 6-speed manual transmission.

Foton 1069 is equipped with a classic 2-circuit air brake system. All wheels have drum brakes. You can't call them super reliable.

The pluses of the car include a well-designed cabin. It is a 2-door all-metal and is designed for 3 people. The cab has an adequate range of options and plenty of room. It contains everything that the driver needs during long journeys. The cabin itself easily tips forward if necessary. Comfortable armchairs are placed inside. Moreover, the driver's seat has several adjustments, allowing you to sit as comfortably as possible.

Despite the unfriendly attitude of some Russians to Chinese cars, Photon 1069 managed to earn trust and popularity in many regions. The reason for this is the low price of the car, which in this parameter surpasses almost all offers in this segment. At the same time, the model has a number of undeniable advantages:

• good maneuverability;
• economical engine;
• a high level of ease of control (steering column adjustment and hydraulic booster);
• many additional elements (underrun devices, spare tire);
• high degree of safety (ABS, reliable brake system, mountain brake);
• simple design, which is the key to practicality and comfort;
• ease and low cost of maintenance;
• sufficient power.

The Foton 1069 is not without flaws. There are a lot of negative reviews regarding these trucks. Especially a lot of complaints are related to the assembly. In this regard, the car differs significantly from European and even Russian counterparts. Bearings work a maximum of 20,000-30,000 km, the clutch lasts a little longer. Moreover, dealers rarely change parts under warranty. In winter, springs regularly break, and the frame cracks even with a slight overload. Not happy with the quality of iron. Individual parts of the structure bend already under slight stress.

Many problems arise with the braking system. Here, the replacement has to be done about once every 2000 km. The gearbox in Photon 1069 is not the most problematic place, but there are problems with it. This is where the transmission cables most often break. There are also some problems with the engine. True, his resource is not the largest - about 100,000-200,000 km. The motor confidently consumes any fuel and is not sensitive to the quality of diesel fuel. The disadvantages of the unit include not too much power, its resource is not always enough.

The cabin deserves special attention. Foton 1069 is painted without a primer on raw metal, which negatively affects the safety. Later versions of the model rot especially quickly. The cabin lasts for 1-2 years, after which the paint begins to bubble, and you have to spend money on repairs. In winter, it is quite cold in the cabin, because there are large gaps in the doors, and the stove does not heat well. Only after additional warming it becomes comfortable to ride in them.

Despite the presence of a number of shortcomings, the truck feels good in Russian realities and is a good alternative to domestic cars.

Price of new and used Foton 1069

The cost of the new Foton 1069 truck is largely determined by the modification. The price tags for the model in the basic version are as follows:

• chassis - 850,000 rubles;
• manufactured goods van - 850980 rubles;
• isothermal van - 875480 rubles;
• a van made of sandwich panels - 1,025,020 rubles;
• steel side version - 840,000 rubles;
• steel side version with a frame and an awning - 870,000 rubles.

Cost is the main trump card of the Chinese car. At the same time, the used market offers very attractive options. Here, models of 2010-2012 can be purchased for 250,000-450,000 rubles. However, when buying a used Photon 1069 machine, you should be extremely careful and perform a thorough check of the systems.

Analogues

The closest analogues of the Foton 1069 are other Chinese cars present on the Russian market. Among them are JAC N75, YUEJIN NJ1080, DongFeng 1063, BAW Fenix ​​33460. These include another model of the Foton brand - truck 1061.

The Foton 1039 truck is made in China. Along with it, such equipment as truck tractors and dump trucks, compact trucks and minibuses are produced. Model 1039 belongs to the class of medium-duty construction special equipment, has a mass of 3.5 tons and is suitable for medium and simple tasks.

Due to its compact size and maneuverability, it can work in urban environments. Dynamic work allows you to quickly resolve the issues raised, including the delivery of goods with frequent stops, the production of loading and unloading operations, etc. The payback of a car is another of its advantages, because it will take 2-3 times less time compared to similar equipment made in Japan or Europe.

Features and Benefits

The distinguishing features of the Photon 1039 truck include high reliability compared to products from other Chinese manufacturers. It is characterized by the installation of quality parts and a mechanized assembly process, which increases the accuracy of mounting components.

The main advantages of the machine include:

• the ability to install additional functions and options;
• management can be carried out by drivers with category B;
• durable cab;
• in fact, the carrying capacity is 50% higher than indicated in the passport;
• improved transmission, providing efficiency in terms of fuel consumption;
• the connection of the chassis elements is carried out on rivets;
• to increase stability, the installation of ABS is provided;
• low side height for easy loading of materials;
• high power power plant manufactured by Cummins;
• low cost compared to competitors.

The developers offer several equipment options for the Foton BJ 1039 - a cargo side made of steel or aluminum, a van for groceries, a refrigerator, a van with an awning.

A large margin in terms of carrying capacity allows the driver not to worry about the condition of the chassis, frame and springs in case of overload.

The truck is especially popular in public utilities, transport organizations, private businesses for transporting goods and delivering food.

Specifications and dimensions

The main technical characteristics of Photon 1039 include:

At the same time, the total dimensions of the car are 4.89 m x 1.83 m x 2.17 m.

Engine

Fuel consumption

The fuel consumption of Foton 1039 per 100 km is 10 liters with a standard vehicle. If a more powerful unit is installed, consumption will increase, the same trend can be traced under heavy load and difficult working conditions.

Device

The standard assembly involves the installation of power windows, car radio, central locking, rear parking sensors, fairing under the passenger compartment, heated mirrors and a power take-off. This is an advantage over similar machines. An even more advantageous parameter is the low cost.

The supporting structure of the Foton 1039 truck is a powerful frame with spars, on which all components are mounted. Dependent suspension is also installed as standard on semi-elliptical springs with hydraulic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars in the transverse direction. To ensure a long service life and high strength indicators, thick steel sheets and a large structure height are used. Due to the long frame and the installation of spars at an impressive distance, a large load capacity is provided and torsion of parts is excluded. The length of the supporting structure is 4.22 m, the length of the body is 5 m, and its capacity is 20 m3.

Chassis

Suspension Foton 1039 is equipped with springs with stabilizers and shock absorbers. Three springs are installed in front, six in the back. This ensures stability when transporting materials.

Transmission

As a checkpoint, the ZF design is installed, which has proven itself well on such equipment. It is characterized by high quality, compactness, light weight, equipped with a PTO. To ensure maneuverability and a quick start, a large reduction number of first and reverse speeds is provided.

The overdrive in fifth gear guarantees savings in fuel consumption when driving on light roads, as well as reduced oil consumption.

Operator's cab

The Foton 1039 truck is equipped with a comfortable, safe and ergonomic cab. It is single-row, and has the ability to move forward to provide access to the main units. The cabin width is 1.8 m, the number of passenger seats is 2.

Security is due to several factors. First of all, this is the presence of auxiliary durable elements in the design that protect people in the cabin from damage in an accident. The second parameter is the increased glass area, which guarantees a large viewing angle. Also important is the heated rear-view mirrors.

The interior upholstery is made of soundproof material, and there is a heat-insulating layer near the engine, which ensures a comfortable microclimate inside the cabin.

The Foton 1039 instrument panel includes a speedometer, tachometer, engine temperature and fuel level sensors in the tank. Readings are displayed on a white background and highlighted in blue. Optionally, cruise control can be installed, which ensures the convenience of passengers. The standard air conditioning system is designed to maintain a normal temperature at any time of the year.

The operator's seat has several adjustments, which allows him to choose the optimal position. The steering wheel can also be adjusted in height and angle. The seats in the cabin are combined with a headrest, in one of the seats there is a compartment for storing working documentation. The upholstery is removable.

A few years ago, many experts said that the world of commercial vehicles will soon be taken over by Chinese manufacturers. At that time, few believed that cars from the Middle Kingdom could replace German dump trucks and trucks with tractors from Sweden. But a good price and excellent technical characteristics have made Foton trucks very popular in commercial use today. Foton offers not only high quality, but also a huge range of equipment for various enterprises.

There have already been positive reviews from owners who have been using Photon equipment for years and receive only benefits from its operation. Of course, they buy Chinese commercial vehicles not for beautiful photos, but for performance and maximum benefit in use. Today we will review the range so that you can choose a Foton truck that fully suits your requirements.

1093 - medium truck for 5 tons for long trips

If you decide to purchase a medium-sized Photon universal truck for various commercial tasks, the Foton 1093 will be an excellent choice. This is a rather old development that is regularly updated at the factory. Among Chinese trucks, it is difficult to find a more productive competitor for this representative of the Photon model line. The car is especially distinguished by such characteristics:

• a good 4-liter diesel engine produces 132 horsepower;

• the unit has excellent traction, due to the high torque;

• the box is mechanical, it helps to save fuel and choose the mode of travel;

• a load capacity of 5 tons is completely sufficient for profitable operation;

• the cabin of the Chinese flagship can accommodate 3 people and has a berth.

The all-metal cab is also an advantage and brings a certain comfort to the operation of the truck. Judging by the reviews of the owners, the Foton 1093 model car is operated over long distances, where it perfectly shows its main benefits. The technical characteristics of a Chinese car are fully comparable with its price - from 1.16 million rubles.

1049 - another booth for transporting goods

Another model in the Foton company line, which will help to successfully operate transport at the enterprise, is Photon 1049. Nice photos for the eye, good technical characteristics are perfectly combined with the price of the car up to 1 million rubles. There are a number of variations of this car, and therefore the carrying capacity ranges from 3 to 5 thousand kilograms. The main features of the truck are:

• reviews of the owners of this Photon make you think about buying this car;

• the most profitable operation is possible due to low fuel consumption;

• car maintenance is required every 15,000 kilometers, which is also beneficial;

• the car has three engines, only one of which is Chinese;

• the truck is produced in various variations, including manipulators and other special equipment.

With all its advantages, Photon 1049 is very affordable. Basic versions with a load capacity of 3 tons and engines of Chinese origin will cost the buyer 650-700 thousand rubles. Of course, Photon with additional special equipment will cost more. The price of Foton options also depends on the configuration of the car and the level of comfort of the trip for the driver.

Big Dump Truck 3313

One of the largest trucks from Photon Corporation is model 3313, which is present in the model line in several trim levels. Finding reviews from the owners of this vehicle is quite difficult due to the specific use of the dump truck. The special technical characteristics of the machine, which determine its uniqueness, are as follows:

• 10-liter Photon branded engine and 336 horsepower;

• the power unit has a huge supply of torque for work in a quarry;

• the carrying capacity of the machine is limited to 15.5 tons;

• transport is ready for any suspension tests, all equipment is of very high quality;

• Foton also offers a more compact version of the dump truck, the 3251.

The manufacturer from China has won the trust of many companies around the world. Deliveries of equipment can be made directly from the manufacturer, bypassing dealers. To do this, you need to contact the production and establish contacts for further cooperation. You can also order spare parts and accessories for your equipment through this channel.

The only tractor in the model line 4259

Not so long ago, the use of Chinese transport as the main resource of an enterprise was considered a bad decision. Today, cars of this origin can help the company save money. You should approach the choice of a commercial truck with a full understanding of the needs of the company, because the manufacturer's model range includes a huge number of options. Tractor Photon 4259 has the following features:

• use of the American Cummins engine for 420 horsepower;

• the use of the most economical in terms of fuel consumption wheel formula 6 * 2;

• there are two berths in the cockpit, as well as quite comfortable places for the crew;

• a 16-speed gearbox of a mechanical type is a good solution paired with an engine;

• the gross weight, taking into account the load, is 44 tons - this is the weight the power unit is designed for.

It's amazing how successfully the Chinese were able to use a not very productive American engine to create an excellent tractor. In the reviews of Foton 4259 owners, you can find a lot of frank praise for the developers of this transport, but the price of almost 3 million can stop many from buying a new car. However, the cost of the machine definitely pays off during operation.

Summing up

Given the high rate of growth and technology development, Chinese trucks may well force more successful and trusted companies out of the market. The main instrument of cars from the Middle Kingdom, which helps to win the competition, is the price. Good value combined with good technical equipment makes it easy to bypass rivals in the market.

Buying Foton trucks, you get excellent vehicles for commercial use. Subject to the recommendations and conditions of use, the transport will be able to serve for a long time and will fully pay off the funds invested in it. Also today, the residual value of used cars from China has increased markedly.

Standard BJ1099 with single row tilt cab.

Chinese trucks "Photon 1099" managed to win some recognition among Russian motorists. The positive image of the truck was formed due to the excellent balance of price and quality, in which the latter, although not ideal, is noted by the owners as significantly exceeding the level expected from the cost of the car. Unfortunately for the authors of the reviews and fortunately for the same motorists, Foton Motors is not stable and the company's lineup is subject to almost annual revision.

As already noted in the review, the Chinese manufacturer is developing so fast that even its own classification cannot keep up with its changes. It will not be possible to find the Photon 1099 truck in the official catalog, but this does not mean that the model has ceased to exist. The Foton Motors truck system is a kind of constructor, the details of which, in fact, are technologies borrowed from the West. Foton BJ1099, referred to by some dealers as Auman BJ1099, is no longer assembled from these parts, and the Auman name is ironically assigned to machines with a payload capacity of 13 tons or more (Auman TX). Nevertheless, quite modern trucks can be sold under this brand in Russia, since dealers and the manufacturer take a somewhat free approach to this issue.

Foton1099: specifications

First of all, the old models of "Photons" are distinguished from each other by the engine. Two types of engines were installed on Photon 1099 at different times:

• Perkins - diesel Phaser 135Ti with four cylinders, intercooler and turbocharging (volume - 4 liters, power - 137 hp, torque - 445 Nm at 1600 rpm);
• Isuzu - Japanese licensed diesel engines (132 hp).

Both engines only meet Euro-3 standards (models after 2009). Fuel consumption "Photon 1099" - 13 liters per 100 km in mixed mode without load - slightly more consumption for Isuzu engines. Other characteristics of "Photon 1099" also boast many variations:

Load capacity:	The payload of a “clean” chassis is 7 tons, however, depending on the type of cabin, it ranges from 3 to 7 tons;
Dimensions:	7800x2330x2600 mm (length, width, height);
Wheelbase:	4200 mm;
Gross car weight:	11.5 tons (maximum rear axle - 8.25 tons, front axle - 3.25 tons);
Ground clearance:	246 mm;
Clutch:	Single disk, dry (Ф330);
Checkpoint:	mechanics, 6 speeds (QLD6T53);
Turning angle:	18.5;
Brakes:	Dual pneumatic.

The simple, working interior of the first Photons 1099 did not encourage free time.

A large number of installed bodies and cabs became the starting point for a huge variety of Foton 1099 trucks. The ability to adapt the machine to any need has been and remains one of the main advantages of this model. The all-metal cab can have one row or one and a half, two or three seats. The number of doors also depends on the modification, but the method of folding is always the same - forward. The roof is flat. The standard package includes steering wheel adjustment and hydraulic booster, seats with shock-absorbing device, wood trim, sleeping bag.

"Photon 1099": reviews

Onboard Foton BJ1099 with UNIC330 manipulator (Japan), side length - 5 m).

Prices for new Foton Motors cars start at 700 thousand rubles, but four-year-old Ollin BJ1099 can be purchased for 300-400 thousand. At the same time, buyers are not deterred by possible problems with equipment wear and tear, since most of the machine parts are easily replaced by original Western ones (Mercedes , Bosch, etc.). However, reviews of Photon 1099 sometimes contain unique information, since some elements still have to be ordered from China, despite the work of an official dealer in Russia. The leitmotif of all the characteristics of Chinese trucks is the Russian cold, which often does not spare a weakly protected engine.

Foton 1099 is often found on Russian roads, although the model has not been in the official catalog of Foton Motors for 5 years.

Kirill, Volgograd. Car -Fotonb.j.1099, mileage - 30 thousand km.

Oleg, Kurgan. Car -FotonAumanb.j.1099, age - 2 years.

The carrying capacity (7 tons) and the price suited, and the car skated perfectly for the first month. But then problems began: 3 visits to a car service for a total of 16 days. The engine is defective - it stalls and starts only after being pulled through, and you need to drag it for 200-300 kilometers. Warranty service station helped a few months later. As a result, they replaced the fine filter with a similar one from KamAZ, since the original one passed air through the return line. After that, problems arose only with the starter. When it was dismantled in the workshop, the picture was strange: there was metal shavings in the casing, and the play of the bushing was about 1.5 mm. It turned out that it was cheaper to change the bendix to the original one from Bosh (12 thousand in total). Despite the generally good operation of the car, I will also note minor problems with the electrics: everything was fixed somehow in the cockpit (as a result, the mirror heating and a couple of buttons, in particular emergency gangs, failed).

Cabin "Photon 1099":
