FOTON A truck tractors

A tractor truck is one of the key tools for making money and increasing the profitability of transportation operations. We know how important the reliability of the power line, driver comfort, fuel efficiency and additional confidence in the safety of the transported goods are to you.

Our time–tested flagship of the trunk routes, the Foton A model, has long and successfully established itself among Russian customers as a reliable and comfortable tractor. There are no routes for him that are difficult to conquer. There are only tasks that he will complete and deadlines that he will meet. The rest is just compromises that this tractor is not used to. And you too, aren't you?

Features

The latest engine

The ISG12 engine has a high torque at low rpm, with a volume of 11.8 liters, a maximum power of 470 hp, and a maximum torque of 2,200 Nm. Having the most common engine displacement among modern European and American trucks, the power characteristics of the ISG12 are higher.

CHECKPOINT

- A gearbox with a maximum gear ratio of 16.69, as well as its precise calibration for various driving conditions, provide 3-5% higher fuel efficiency than a conventional manual gearbox. The intelligent TraXon gearbox control system collects information about driving conditions, adapts to them, and minimizes the number of switches. This allows you to reduce the requirements for driving skills, reduce the cost of staff training.
- The third-generation TraXon gearbox has an aluminum alloy crankcase. Compact, with a coaxial clutch release mechanism, it provides fast and gentle gear shifting.
- The world's most advanced technologies for the production of gears make it possible to achieve high load-bearing capacity while maintaining smooth running. Precision machining and a pressure lubrication system ensure a high service life of the gearbox. The service life exceeds 1.6 million kilometers.


Easy to maintain

- The Foton A cabin has an electric mechanism for tilting the cabin at an angle of 70°. The engine has an inline vertical cylinder layout. This ensures easy maintenance of the units in the engine compartment.
- When using special lubricants, the oil change time at the checkpoint reaches 240,000 km or every 2 years.
- When using fuel with a sulfur content of less than 15 ppm, engine oil is changed at intervals of 90,000 km or 2,000 motorcycle hours, or every 18 months.
- The number of parts in the ISG engine is 30% less than in most similar engines from other manufacturers, which ensures easy disassembly and assembly, as well as reduces repair time.

Cost-effectiveness

- The plastic-made engine valve cover and oil pan, along with the use of the latest materials and innovative manufacturing technologies, reduced the weight of the engine by 300 kg.
- The modern injection system allows to achieve the most complete combustion of fuel in the cylinders, which reduces consumption by 2-3 liters per 100 km.
- In 70% of its power characteristics, the engine provides a specific fuel consumption of less than 200 g/kWh.


Comfort

- The cabin, equipped with a 4-point air suspension, has a large interior space and a comfortable interior, is more comfortable compared to competitors of the same class. The thickness of the 2 cm layer of sound insulation material provides maximum protection from external sound stimuli.
