The emergency fire truck is primarily used for forest firefighting and township-level firefighting. It operates on both paved and unpaved roads. Paved roads mainly include village roads and concrete surfaces, which are typically narrow with small turning radii. Unpaved roads consist of forest firebreaks and muddy or gravel mountain roads, which are rugged and can feature slopes as steep as 40%, making it difficult for ordinary vehicles to travel.
Therefore, forest fire trucks require specialized chassis with key performance features such as high mobility and high reliability to ensure immediate deployment and fault-free operation throughout the mission. These vehicles typically use all-wheel-drive off-road chassis and must meet specific technical requirements for power performance, off-road capability, modification adaptability, and driving comfort.
In terms of chassis configuration, this model adopts a part-time four-wheel-drive system. A transfer case is added at the rear end of the transmission to distribute torque to the front and rear axles as needed. When driving on paved roads, the vehicle uses rear-wheel drive to improve driving speed and reduce fuel consumption, with a maximum speed of up to 105 km/h. On unpaved roads, it switches to all-wheel drive to enhance off-road capability and meet the demands of complex and harsh terrain. This configuration effectively balances the need for both off-road performance and high-speed travel.
In terms of power performance, this model offers two powertrain options:
A 152-horsepower China VI diesel engine with a maximum torque of 405 Nm, paired with a 6-speed transmission and front/rear drive axles with a 5.375 gear ratio.
A 180-horsepower China VI diesel engine with a maximum torque of 550 Nm, also matched with a 6-speed transmission and axles featuring a 4.33 gear ratio.
Customers from different regions and industries can choose the appropriate power configuration based on their specific local working conditions and operational needs.
During forest firefighting operations, the Dongfeng Jincheng all-wheel-drive emergency fire truck delivers sufficient power to handle slopes of up to 40%. By using the appropriate transmission gear, transfer case setting, and 4WD mode, the engine speed is kept within the optimal torque range, allowing the vehicle to climb steep gradients at a steady speed of 8–10 km/h.
