From Trial to Repeat Orders! Why Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai LTL Fleets Favor XCMG

XCMG Hanjie light truck at Suzhou Transfar Highway Port

Just past noon, the canteen at the Suzhou Transfar Highway Port had cleared the trays and driver Song returned to his cab with a thermos. He still had two short hauls in the afternoon—port to Kunshan, then Kunshan back to Wujiang.

Song is a driver for a Suzhou less-than-truckload (LTL) logistics company. Last year his truck became an XCMG Hanjie light truck, and his company went from an initial purchase of 10 units to a second batch of 15.

Part 01 Repeat orders stack up, profit written into the operating ledger

After the company's first Hanjie purchase, it soon saw the change brought by loading efficiency. The XCMG Hanjie light truck has a 4.4-meter cargo box and 21.3 m³ of volume—20 cm longer than the traditional 4.2 m model, so on the same route and same number of trips it can carry 1 extra cubic meter per load.

The most direct change for Song is in loading. Running LTL often uses 1.1 m standard pallets; with the XCMG Hanjie he can fit 2 more pallets per trip. He says: 'On the same trip the load clearly goes up—jobs that used to need two runs now finish in one.'

The logistics company's manager says: 'Since the XCMG Hanjie light trucks went into service, the economic benefit is clear—the profit created by the larger box alone reaches about 200,000 yuan a year.'

Part 02 Reliable attendance for diverse transport duty cycles

Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai LTL transport means dense routes, fast pace, frequent loading/unloading and alternating heavy and light loads, demanding more of the vehicle's load capacity and stable uptime.

The XCMG Hanjie light truck uses high-strength steel, a double-layer composite steel frame and an integrated cast steel axle, giving solid support for high-frequency operation. The vehicles in Song's fleet have run for over half a year; apart from routine maintenance, no chassis or electric-powertrain issue has affected attendance.

Jiangsu-Zhejiang-Shanghai city and park road networks are complex, and height-restricted sections are common, constraining daily travel. For such roads, XCMG Hanjie also offers a flat-top-cab version that fits these scenarios.

Part 03 Comfort along the way for a smoother drive

For truckers, the cab is both a workstation and a rest space after long hauls.

The XCMG Hanjie light truck has a fully flat-through cab floor with no traditional shift-lever hump between driver and passenger seats. Stepping from the driver's seat to the passenger side for a thermos or paperwork takes one step—no need to open the door and walk around; the cab interior height is about 1.9 m, so a driver can stand upright without hitting the roof, and stretch easily when tired; total storage is about 452.2 L, with space for tools, clothes, water and snacks. When asked about the driving experience, Song says: 'This truck fits our driving habits in many ways; it's quite a pleasure to drive.'
