In the latest 377th batch announcement released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Jiefang JH6 has become one of the most eye-catching products. Surprisingly, the JH6 4 2 truck truck truck that appeared this time almost covered 675 meters, 86 meters and 97 meters and other models. This means that cardholders can now choose the Jiefang JH6 truck that suits their needs in different lengths.
The JH6 series is a star product that has attracted much attention in the past 10 years. The series rolled off the assembly line in April 2014 and officially entered the market in May 2015, with production and sales reaching 7,000 units in December 2016 alone. After years of verification, JH6 has won the recognition of the majority of users.
Prior to this, we learned that the JH6 model has a strong presence in the tractor market, while only 8x4 models are available in the truck market. Therefore, the launch of the 4x2 cargo model of the JH6 this time is indeed a pleasant surprise.
Not only has more than 300 horsepower 68. Cargo
According to the information revealed in the announcement, the newly launched JH6 4X2 cargo model covers more than 68 meters and 9The 6-meter large single-axle model is also very rich in vehicle configuration. In addition to the stake model, a variety of options such as vans are also available to meet the needs of different users.
In terms of power configuration, according to the information of social platforms, the JH6 6The 8-meter model offers a power option of 320 horsepower, which is currently 6Option for maximum horsepower in the 8-meter model. As you can see from this, the JH6 offers at least a 6-cylinder power option.
According to the view of a dealer in East China, in recent years, the sales of trucks and tractors in the medium and heavy truck market have been unbalanced, and in the truck market, large single-axle models have become a popular choice. Therefore, 6The launch of the 8-meter cargo model will further enhance its market competitiveness. However, they are looking forward to 9 moreThe launch of the 6-meter large single-axle model, because this model is more in line with the current market demand, is expected to provide greater growth space for liberation.
A staff member of an OEM said that there is a demand trend in the market for large cabs and short cargo boxes. This trend mainly meets the needs of customers who need to travel long distances and need to rest in the car. They typically require cab space for at least two people. There may be a trend of single-person mid-drive in the future, but for those customers who have a high economic value for long-distance transportation, they still need a vehicle with a large cab.
Customers want the best cab experience, and they're willing to choose the best-equipped cab if it's the right fit. Therefore, for medium-duty trucks such as the JH6 with large cabs, the market demand is likely to continue to grow.
Why the JH6 4x2 truck was introduced at this time
>> regulatory push
The freight industry is very affected by the policy, and every policy change will break the original"Ecological balance"to establish new rules. In recent years, there have been three major policies that have had a significant impact on the freight market.
The first: the new version of the GB1589 standard, implemented in 2016, which regulates the size and load of vehicles, restricts overloaded transportation, and ensures the safety and sustainability of roads.
Second: the overloading of light trucks in 2019 was carried out to rectify the problem of overloading of light trucks and improve the compliance and safety of transportation.
Third: the axle-based charging policy implemented in 2020 will charge fees according to the number and type of axles of the vehicle, and encourage the reasonable allocation of vehicles.
These policy changes have led to a sharp decline in the profitability of purchased models, and many users have been forced to change vehicles to adapt to the new rules and market demands. Although this series of policy changes has brought challenges to the freight industry, it has also prompted the industry to continue to adapt and innovate to promote the healthy development of the industry.
The new version of the G1589 has carried out the total weight of the truck, the total weight of 6x2 and 6x4 is limited to 25 tons, and the 4x2 model is 18 tons.
Under the axle-based charging policy, the difference in costs between Class 2 and Class 3 models is at least 03 yuan kilometers, which will inevitably become a watershed for intercity transportation and long-distance trunk transportation.
In addition, in recent years, blue-plate vehicles have faced load and speed restrictions on many highways. This poses a dilemma for the 4.2 meter blue plate model, but at the same time it is 68 meters and 9The 6-meter 4x2 truck creates an opportunity. These models are better able to adapt to the current load restriction policy and meet the needs of the market.
>> market involution
4x2 lightweight68 meters and 9The 6-meter 18-ton medium truck will become a hot selling product. This accelerates the degree of involution in this market.
Participant Volume:
At present, there are two main technical routes for domestic medium-sized truck products:
The first is the sharing platform between medium and heavy trucks, which most obviously uses a cab with a width of 2480mm
The second is the sharing platform between medium and light trucks, which usually uses a cab with a width of 2200mm
This technological competition mainly involves two main types of players. The first category is the original players, which refers to the brands that have been making medium cards from the beginning, such as Jiefang JK6, Dongfeng Tianjin, etc. The biggest feature of this type of model is the carrying capacity;
The second type is mainly after the 521 policy, light truck brands began to get involved in the field of medium trucks, such as JAC Devos, Foton European Airlines, etc. The main features of this type of vehicle are light weight and driving comfort.
Configure Volume:
In terms of specific configuration, the focus of medium-sized truck products is mainly on power and cab.
In terms of power, medium-duty truck products are usually divided into two types: 6-cylinder engine and 4-cylinder engine. In the past, 18-ton medium-duty trucks were mainly four-cylinder engines, which had the biggest advantage of light weight and low fuel consumption.
However, over the past few years, the demand for 6-cylinder engines has gradually increased. The advantages of the 6-cylinder engine are its large power reserve, strong torque and fast travel speed. But this type of engine also has some significant drawbacks, such as higher fuel consumption and high engine weight.
On the whole, the 4-cylinder engine and the 6-cylinder engine have their own advantages, and the 6-cylinder engine has great advantages in terms of power performance and fuel economy, which is suitable for users who need to carry heavy loads and carry out long-distance transportation.
When it comes to cabs, the choice of flat and high roof cabs is an important consideration. Since 2017, the high-roof two-bedroom cab has attracted a lot of attention in the truck market, and then various types of heavy-duty truck cabs, including flagship cabs, have gradually emerged. In 9In 6-meter trucks, the use of high-roof cabs has also been extended from 8x4 models to large single-axle products.
Whether driving solo or tandem, the high-roof two-bedroom cab offers clear advantages. It is equipped with an upper sleeper, which can not only be used for sleeping, but can also be combined with a top cabinet to provide additional storage space. As a result, many users today prefer a high-roof cab.

As a leading enterprise in the commercial vehicle market, Jiefang's strong and perfect products are one of the important factors for its success. FAW Jiefang Qingqi already has a high-profile star product like JK6 on the truck platform. However, compared with the medium-duty truck platform products, the JH6 cockpit, which originally belonged to the heavy-duty truck series, provides more space.

This upgrade will result in more advanced technology and higher performance, further enhancing the user experience and satisfaction.
However, this adjustment does not apply to all businesses. It is a challenging task to adjust the company's ** chain and product layout. Companies need to re-evaluate and adjust their chains to ensure they can meet the required parts and materials in a timely manner. At the same time, it is also necessary to re-plan the product layout to adapt to the new market demand and competitive environment.
This kind of adjustment requires a lot of time, resources and money from the enterprise. If companies can successfully meet these challenges and adapt to market changes in a timely manner, they have the opportunity to stand out and succeed in the highly competitive commercial vehicle market. Therefore, companies need to be cautious in their analysis and decision-making in the face of such adjustments to ensure that they can effectively respond to challenges and achieve long-term growth.
