Western truck brands have retreated from the Russian market in the wake of the conflict. Yet in the midst of this turmoil, forces from the east are rising. As the familiar Western engine noise fades away, Chinese trucks spring up with thunderous force, leaving ruts in their tracks
When it comes to the best-selling Chinese tractors in Russia, the SITRAK C7H and C7H Max are Profiles in Courage. The series of models in the Russian market for many days, in the first quarter of this year, the car in the Russian market sales of more than 2,700 units, a long time to achieve a single tractor“Sales”
In December, a logistics company bought three SITRAK C7H,480-horsepower tractors at a time. Including previously operational vehicles, the fleet already has six Chinese trucks in operation, all of which are used intensively to quickly identify their strengths and weaknesses
It was mentioned that the reason for choosing SITRAK was that the team had previously used a large number of German MAN trucks, and considering that SITRAK also used a lot of MAN technology, this makes them rightfully into the"Bosom"of SITRAK. In its four months of operation, the SITRAK C7h has covered 55,000 kilometres
They also used MAN TGS and TGX for comparison tests on the same route, and were very satisfied with the results-the fuel consumption of the SITRAK C7H was 27.9 L/100km. That's just 0.2 l per 100km compared with the MAN TGX (the MAN TGX has a fuel consumption of 27.7 l per 100km) , which the team considers highly efficient
Logistics companies are pleased that SITRAK spare parts are cheap. For example, the LED headlights in SITRAK cost 32,000 rubles (about 2,500 yuan) and the taillights 1,200 rubles (about 100 yuan) . By comparison, the MAN TGX 's headlights cost more than 80,000 rubles (6,165 yuan)
