Can a light engine running 1.2 million kilometers still be able to eat rice?

In the past seven years, 1.2 million kilometers saved 240,000 yuan for the owner. Nowadays, light diesel power is the best!

In the Zhengding International Logistics Park in Hebei, from a distance, even its brand identity could not be clearly seen. After being beaten and baptized with wind, rain, and snow, the exterior was worn out and was almost equivalent to the “brothers” in the scrap yard. It is it, but it has become a big star here. This Omar which has been running for 1.2 million kilometers in seven years and has not been overhauled is well known here. It is a Cummins ISF3.8L engine without major repairs.

The owner of the car, Li Chenghu, intends to retire this year, but he does not plan to sell it because it is still “old and strong” and this car is not only a car but also an old friend to Li Chenghu.

Li Chenghu and his 1.2 million kilometers star car

Only four days off a year, "fighter" in model workers

Some people may say that its appearance is very vicissitudes, not on the mirror, but this is its million-kilometre witness. According to Li Chenghu, this Omar has been running the Taiyuan Line for 7 years. It has become a common practice to bump the mountain. It can be said that repairs in and out of the cab are for repairs, but the only engine that has not been moved is the engine. According to Li Chenghu, the last time the engine was “seeing a doctor” was that the driver’s master had forgotten to add water, and human factors caused damage to the engine parts.

By connecting directly to the engine, computer data shows that the engine has traveled more than 1.2 million kilometers

Only four days a year, the high attendance rate is relished

The journey from Zhengding to Taiyuan is 600 kilometers. It starts at noon every day at 12 o'clock and returns to Zhengding International Logistics Park the next morning. According to this working rhythm, two drivers took turns and people stopped parking. In the year 365 days, the car only had a four-day "holiday" during the Chinese New Year. The high attendance rate envied the colleagues in the entire logistics park.

The high-intensity work rhythm is the direct cause of its millions of kilometers, but this is due to the timely response and support of the service station. Li Chenghu also fully affirmed the local after-sales support. He said: “Every time we have needs, the response of the service stations is very timely. On-site maintenance saves us a lot of time and provides guarantees for high attendance.”

Old and powerful engine, no reduction in performance

Today, the concept of maintenance more than maintenance has been accepted by users. This 1.2 million-km Cummins ISF engine without major repairs can be said to have little maintenance cost in seven years, thanks to its outstanding quality, on the one hand, and the other Timely formal maintenance. Li Chenghu said: "This vehicle is maintained once a month on average, and we are all on a fixed service station for maintenance." Two barrels of oil 200 yuan, a machine filter 80 yuan, a diesel filter 110 yuan, air filter 50 yuan, Working hours cost 30 yuan. In addition to the air filter brand is optional, the other is the original parts, a total of 470 yuan. According to the calculation of 600 kilometers per day, 18,000 kilometers is driven a month, and the average maintenance cost per kilometer is only 2 cents more.

Although 1.2 million kilometers have been ran, the entire vehicle has been damaged and the pedals of the brakes have even fallen. However, the two drivers are still willing to open it. Why?

A light engine running over 1.2 million kilometers

Running on the steep slopes on the Taiyuan Road in Shanxi Province, dynamics can be said to be the first appeal of a car purchase. The excellent dynamic performance of the Cummins ISF engine just meets the demand. “I have been running for so many years on the Shitai line. I have driven many cars. The Cummins engine is one of the most worry-free for me. It's easy to climb a hill quickly. Even if it's a high-speed road closure in heavy fog, the car is still there. You can go down the road and never worry about the lack of power and delay normal work."

Another reason why drivers like to drive this car is the extremely low fuel consumption. From Zhengding to Taiyuan, a total of 600 kilometers was returned. A total of 700 yuan of diesel was consumed. Compared to other models of its own engine, the Beijing-Qinhuangdao Plain Line was running. The oil cost spent on the same kilometers was quite the same. Drivers' salaries are all related to fuel consumption, so opening up this Omar can mean more daily benefits.

Cost income

In seven years, this car has already recovered its cost. Not only that, but under the high duty rate, this car will bring more profits to Li Chenghu than it thinks. It will be understood through a simple set of revenue data. It can be seen that in the seven years, 1.2 million kilometers of Li Chenghu brought a substantial income of 248,080 yuan, and the purchase of an Omar can be more than enough.

Based on the trust of this "veteron," Li Chenghu himself again purchased two Omars equipped with Cummins ISF engines in 2015 and 2016, still working at a high intensity. The performance of these two "new recruits" No less than their predecessors, Li Chenghu said with confidence that in a few years they will be millions of kilometers of stars.
