LANDKING H: Efficient and Cost-Effective for Every Kilometer

As urban delivery demand continues to rise, light trucks are becoming increasingly critical to daily logistics. With fluctuating fuel prices, heavier workloads, and longer vehicle lifecycles, operators are focusing more than ever on controlling long-term operating costs. In response, WEICHAI New Energy has launched the LANDKING H light truck series, designed specifically for urban distribution. Featuring a well-balanced powertrain, improved fuel efficiency, and robust reliability, the LANDKING H helps operators maintain consistent performance while reducing long-term operational risks.

The LANDKING H features a complete “golden” drivetrain, combining a Weichai engine, a Fast AMT or manual transmission, and Hand axle systems. Optimized combustion, efficient turbocharging, and precision gear matching reduce fuel consumption by about 3% compared with similar trucks. In typical urban delivery conditions—frequent stop-and-go traffic and long hours on the road—fuel use remains consistent, helping operators manage daily operating costs more reliably.

To meet different load levels and operating scenarios, the LANDKING H offers three engine options: WP2.3N, WP2.5N, and WP3N, designed for light-load urban deliveries, high-frequency city routes, and regional transport. The WP2.3N boosts overall vehicle performance by 4%–9% while cutting fuel consumption by 2%–5% compared with similar trucks. The WP2.5N delivers near 3.0L-class power while maintaining low fuel use, with a fuel efficiency advantage of around 4%. The WP3N engine is optimized for a wide range of operating conditions, avoiding energy waste from over- or under-powered setups, and can reduce fuel consumption by 4%–15% compared with comparable models.

The LANDKING H is equipped with Fast 6-speed and 8-speed transmissions that improve overall efficiency by 5%–8% compared with industry norms. Optimized gear design and refined rolling and sealing structures reduce internal friction by 40%, allowing the drivetrain to reach up to 96% power transmission efficiency. On the AMT model, shift times are shortened by 50% and power interruptions are reduced by 40%, helping cut fuel consumption by around 8% in city stop-and-go driving, effectively lowering energy use per kilometer.

Long-term operating costs go beyond just fuel. The LANDKING H’s HANDE front and rear axles have undergone 33 full-Axle tests and six-axis fatigue bench trials, achieving a B10 service life of over 800,000 km. This high level of durability under intensive use helps cut maintenance frequency and costs. At the same time, the engine’s upgraded electronic control system reduces failure rates by more than 80% and is specially calibrated to handle different fuel qualities, ensuring reliable operation even in challenging conditions.

Lightweight design is another key factor in the LANDKING H’s efficiency. By incorporating components such as an aluminum flywheel housing and other lightweight structural parts, the truck keeps its overall weight under control without compromising load capacity. This not only reduces energy loss from the vehicle’s own weight but also allows operators to carry more cargo within legal limits.

In terms of durability, the LANDKING H is built on a high-strength steel frame that has passed 500,000 bending fatigue cycles and 350,000 torsion fatigue cycles, equivalent to a real-world service life of over 700,000 kilometers. The truck has also undergone extensive testing under extreme conditions—freezing cold, high heat, high-altitude, and rough roads—accumulating more than one million kilometers in total test mileage. These rigorous validations ensure a solid foundation for reliable, long-term operation.

For logistics operators, real savings go beyond single-trip fuel efficiency. Consistent fuel use, predictable maintenance, and durable vehicles are what truly matter. By addressing these practical needs, the LANDKING H delivers a balanced solution that combines reliable performance with lower long-term operating costs.

Overall, the LANDKING H is designed with the full vehicle lifecycle in mind, systematically optimizing long-term operating costs rather than focusing solely on short-term efficiency. It provides urban delivery and regional transport operators with a practical solution that delivers efficiency, cost control, and long-term reliability.
