The New Traxon Transmission: Foton Auman EST Super Truck is Truly Impressive

Many truck drivers are highly concerned about the Foton Auman EST Super Truck. As the latest model of the Foton Daimler joint - venture company, it integrates the advantageous resources of China and Germany. Recently, Truck Home test - drove the EST - A Super Truck on behalf of all truck drivers and brings you the real test - drive experience.

Foton trucks have always had an appearance that surpasses their peers, with rapid updates. As the latest high - end heavy - duty truck of Foton Daimler, the EST has become the most good - looking domestic heavy - duty truck. It adopts international mainstream component assemblies and is in no way inferior to international mainstream heavy - duty trucks in terms of appearance.

The Auman EST is available in a rich range of colors and comes with complete configurations, making it a high - value - appearance heavy - duty truck. When truck drivers get behind the wheel of the high - appearance EST, they suddenly notice a higher rate of people turning their heads. Driving on the highway, it becomes the focus of attention among fellow drivers.

In addition to its high - end appearance, the Auman EST Super Truck is also meticulous in its details, embodying the Toyota manufacturing concept of lean design and production.

The top - mounted horn is covered with a conical cover, which not only protects the horn but also reduces wind resistance. The integrated headlights with a Mercedes - Benz style come with LED daytime running lights.

The four - step boarding is very convenient. The upper three steps are integrated inside the door, and there are also lights. The cab protrudes backward, increasing the sleeper space.

When the front cover is lifted, it is supported by two hydraulic struts, allowing all the components for daily maintenance to be clearly visible. The cab is equipped with a four - point floating air - bag shock - absorbing system, and the pipelines are color - coded for easy inspection.

There are storage compartments at the rear of both doors. The switches for the storage compartments are located behind the armrests inside the vehicle.

Although the EST Super Truck may seem like an "idol - type" vehicle, it is actually a capable one with world - advanced powertrain and chassis configurations.

The golden powertrain of the EST consists of the X12 Cummins engine + ZF's AMT + Hande rear axle with a small speed ratio, along with disc brakes and an air - bag suspension. The golden powertrain of Chinese heavy - duty trucks has been upgraded by the Auman EST heavy - duty truck.

The front suspension with fewer leaf springs is equipped with a transverse stabilizer bar. The oil pan is made of composite materials and should not be exposed to fire. ZF's Traxon is the latest AMT transmission, and currently, only the EST has it in mass production in China. The front disc brakes come with maintenance - free wheel ends.

For transportation practitioners, safety, efficiency, and fuel economy are their common wishes. The EST Super Truck can meet all these requirements with its detailed designs.

Disc brakes offer excellent braking performance and fast heat dissipation, saying goodbye to brake water spraying. The single - stage rear axle with a small speed ratio can achieve maximum transmission efficiency.

The aluminum alloy air storage tanks are moved backward, making room for the fuel tanks on both sides of the frame. The cab adopts a combined rear suspension, and the shock - absorbing air bags can be adjusted according to the weight inside the cab. All tires are equipped with WABCO's tire - pressure control system. The Knorr air - circuit dryer ensures safety and quality, providing worry - free braking performance.

Truck drivers, who spend a lot of time in their vehicles, often suffer from occupational diseases. The EST Super Truck has taken everything into consideration to care for truck drivers.

The four - spoke multifunctional steering wheel has a Mercedes - Benz style and a great feel with its leather - wrapped surface. When the engine self - check function is activated, the signals and instrument lights are comprehensive.

The air - bag - cushioned driver's seat is very comfortable, and the seat belt is fixed to the backrest. The sleeper is wide, and the height of the rear rest space is sufficient, creating a comfortable environment. There are several storage spaces under the sleeper, and a refrigerator can be optionally installed.

The foldable remote - control key is on a par with mid - to high - end passenger cars. There are storage spaces on the top of the cab and intelligent devices such as a driving recorder. The vehicle has many electrical control functions, and the buttons are integrated in the central control function area, including functions such as anti - skid, engine power switch, and cruise control.

A standard curtain can ensure that the rest environment is not disturbed by external light. There is a cab air - circulation system and a reading light behind the sleeper. The multi - stage engine braking system is available. The co - driver's seat is as comfortable as the driver's seat, with a large reclining angle, good wrapping, and a comfortable ride.

After learning about all these features, we couldn't wait to test - drive the EST heavy - duty truck to experience its performance on the road.

The test - drive area includes uphill roads, undulating roads, potholed roads, and twisted roads, mainly to test the power, smoothness, comfort, and braking performance of the EST truck. The test - drive venue is located at the Beijing Super Truck Experience Center inside Auman's No.2 Factory. The test - drive vehicles have a racing - style paint job.

Before the test drive, it is necessary to sign a test - drive agreement and have the driver's license checked. Judging from the side, both test - drive vehicles are equipped with ZF's Traxon transmission.

The vehicle can start in a relatively high gear when empty, thanks to the low - speed and high - torque engine. The indirect vision on the driver's side is good, and the direct vision at the front of the vehicle is wide and unobstructed. The combined rear - view mirrors create a blind - spot - free indirect vision on the right side.

The EST is equipped with an electronically controlled air - bag suspension, making it easy to handle undulating roads. With the low - speed and high - torque engine + Traxon intelligent AMT transmission, there is no pressure for starting on slopes. The vehicle has good grip and stability on rough roads, protecting the goods on the rear trailer. The Traxon transmission is easy to operate and has multiple intelligent and convenient functions. The driving experience of the "Black King Kong" test - drive vehicle delighted the users. Driving the long - desired EST Super Truck, it's no wonder users are so happy. The EST Super Truck truly offers "more value for the same price," allowing users to experience the driving comfort of imported trucks at the price of domestic trucks.

Of course, trucks, as production materials and money - making tools, are not just for fun or taking a casual drive. They are used for transportation and making profits. The Auman EST truck provides diversified solutions for logistics transportation and is suitable for various road logistics models such as e - commerce logistics, hazardous - goods transportation, green - channel transportation, and container transportation. Besides the test - drive model, there are more models to choose from.

When new models are launched by other brands, usually one or two models are tested first, and then the market is gradually expanded, and the configurations are enriched. However, the EST Super Truck already has a series of configurations, meeting diversified market and user demands.

The EST - A represents the super truck equipped with an AMT transmission. The super truck originated in Europe. The entire EST Super Truck series is powered by Cummins' flagship X12 engine. Yunyingbao is Auman's TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) throughout the life cycle. Using EST trucks results in low operating costs, and they retain good resale value.

A good horse deserves a good saddle, and a good truck should be paired with excellent accessories. Auman's truck models have long been in line with international standards. Auman is a respected competitor in the industry. In the past, some people said that Auman had strong marketing capabilities. However, after test - driving the EST, we sincerely admire Auman's strong R & D strength and its Industry 4.0 manufacturing capabilities. Because the EST truck is comparable to imported brands. Moreover, Auman's after - sales service and parts supply far exceed those of imported brands. With the price of a domestic truck, you can enjoy the quality and comfort of an imported truck. So, what are you waiting for?
