A Comprehensive Look at the Sinotruk SITRAK C7H with 600 HP and a National VI Automatic Transmission

In recent years, the high - end trunk - line logistics transportation market has become increasingly active. As customers' requirements for timeliness, comfort, and economy continue to rise, major manufacturers are accelerating their pace to upgrade and innovate their products. China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (CNHTC) has always been at the forefront of the industry in this regard, and the Sinotruk SITRAK C7H emerged against this backdrop.

As a flagship model in CNHTC's high - end heavy - truck segment, the main competitors of the Sinotruk SITRAK C7H are mostly international high - end heavy trucks, which shows its remarkable strength. Let's take a look at the newly launched Sinotruk SITRAK C7H with a National VI emission standard, an automatic transmission, and 600 horsepower.

Compared with the old - style Sinotruk SITRAK models, the LOGO, the English letters of "SITRAK", and the decorative strips on the front face of the new Sinotruk SITRAK C7H are painted in gold, making them stand out. The large - area blackened air intake grille, combined with the sharp - shaped headlight group, gives the overall appearance a domineering and tough look.

The rear - view mirrors feature an integrated design, which can effectively reduce wind resistance during driving and is more aesthetically pleasing than the split - type design. At the same time, the rear - view mirrors support electric adjustment and electric heating functions. In adverse weather conditions such as rain and snow, they can quickly remove water vapor from the mirror surface to ensure a clear view for the driver.

A monocular lens is installed below the front windshield, indicating that this vehicle supports the lane - departure warning function, which can effectively enhance driving safety and prevent traffic accidents.

There are air - guiding grooves on both sides of the front face. During driving, they can guide the airflow, preventing mud and water from adhering to the front face, door handles, and other parts. This is beneficial for vehicle cleaning and can also reduce wind resistance to some extent.

The shape of the headlight group matches the entire front face perfectly. It is equipped with LED daytime running lights, high - and low - beam headlights, turn signals, and fog lights. The low - beam headlights are equipped with lenses, which can effectively enhance the light - gathering ability and improve the lighting effect.

A millimeter - wave radar is installed on the bumper, indicating that the entire vehicle supports the collision - prevention warning function. During driving, it can monitor the vehicle distance in real - time, avoid rear - end collisions and other traffic accidents, and improve driving safety.

The words sprayed on the door show that this new C7H meets the National VI emission standard and has a powerful 600 - horsepower engine.

Sinotruk SITRAK is loved by many users for its quality comparable to imported vehicles and has reached the L2 - level intelligent driving standard.

First of all, the new Sinotruk SITRAK C7H has been comprehensively upgraded in terms of seats. Both the driver and co - driver seats are air - bag suspended seats, supporting multi - way adjustment, ventilation, heating, and one - key inflation and deflation functions, which are on a par with high - end cars. The back and waist support design is very user - friendly, and the comfort is self - evident. This is also an advantage in competing with international high - end heavy trucks.

Secondly, the intelligent configuration is one of the biggest highlights of this vehicle. According to official information, this vehicle is equipped with intelligent driving assistance systems such as a lane - departure warning system, a forward - collision warning system, automatic emergency braking, and an adaptive cruise system. In addition, during actual driving, it can automatically control the vehicle speed, steering, etc., effectively relieving the driver's fatigue and improving driving safety.

In other aspects, the steering wheel still adopts a four - spoke multifunctional design, integrating the control of the vehicle's on - board computer and multimedia. It also has an electric sunroof, an electric sunshade, multiple air - conditioning vents, and a car refrigerator. The center console is close to the driver's seat, with a compact layout and rich function buttons. Overall, it lives up to its positioning as a high - end heavy truck, fully demonstrating its luxury.

In terms of power, this vehicle is equipped with the MAN - technology MC13H.60 - 61 engine developed by CNHTC specifically for heavy - haul towing and trunk - line logistics. It is optimized based on the original MC13 model, meeting the National VI emission standard. With a displacement of 13.02L, it has a power of up to 600 horsepower, a maximum torque of 2700 N·m, and a maximum torque speed range of 950 - 1400 rpm. Its power performance is much stronger than that of the old - style C7H.

The corresponding fuel tank volume is 600 + 200L. There are pedals on the side of the fuel tank for the owner to access the workbench easily, and there is an anti - slip and protective plate on the top of the fuel tank, which is a very considerate design.

In terms of transmission, it is matched with the CNHTC HW25712XAC automatic transmission with 12 forward gears. It also integrates a hydrodynamic retarder to ensure braking safety during long - downhill driving.

For the axles, it is equipped with the rear axle MCY13BES independently developed by CNHTC. The rear - axle gear ratio is 3.7, and the maximum vehicle speed can reach 110 km/h. The main advantage of CNHTC's MC axles lies in their advanced lightweight design. They can meet the requirements of different working conditions while reducing the weight.

The V - shaped thrust rod design effectively reduces the displacement of the rear axle, ensuring the vehicle's stability during turning and also guaranteeing the vehicle's body rigidity and load - bearing capacity.

Whether in terms of intelligent configuration, driving comfort, or the configuration of the three core components, this new Sinotruk SITRAK C7H shows extraordinary strength. It also has the confidence and capital to compete with international mainstream high - end heavy trucks. Finally, we hope that this vehicle can represent "Made in China" and achieve excellent results in the international heavy - truck market in the future.
