A rare four-wheel drive VAN with distinctive Tuyanosen APCs.

Tuyano is a well-known domestic European VAN, which has beautiful appearance, comfortable ride and strong power, and has a high possession in the market. We have introduced a number of Tuyano light passengers with different uses before, including buses, vans and special vehicles, which can meet the needs of many industries and leave a deep impression on everyone.

Some friends have had such questions after learning about a number of Tuyano models we introduced. Does Tuyano have a four-wheel drive model? Indeed, most of the Tuyano we usually see are front and rear drive configurations, but for some special purposes, Tuyano has professional four-wheel drive models. This time, we will introduce Tuyano’s forest defense personnel carriers to you.

In the past, when there was a shortage of light off-road buses in China, the transportation of forest firefighters was often undertaken by different types of trucks or off-road buses modified from truck chassis. Their comfort was far less than that of Tuyano, and the later modified bodies were not as strong, safe and airtight as Tuyano, a load-bearing body. The purchase of imported cars is not a small expense, and maintenance is also an expense that cannot be ignored when maintaining cars. The emergence of four-wheel drive models not only enriches Tuyano’s product line, but also fills the gap in the market, and also brings more cost-effective choices to the units and individuals who need to buy such special vehicles.

At the first sight, you can feel that this car is not simple. First, a solid protective bar is installed in the front of the car, which can effectively help the car cross obstacles safely and quickly. Secondly, the tire size is larger, the chassis clearance from the ground is higher, and the "Bigfoot" is full of power; Finally, the orange painting of the whole vehicle is bright and dazzling.

The vehicle is positioned as a forest fire-fighting personnel carrier, belonging to a special operation vehicle, with a self-weight of 2.58 tons and a maximum allowable total weight of 3.55 tons, and can carry 9 fire-fighting rescuers. In addition to being able to transport fire rescue personnel, the vehicle also has cargo space for loading fire rescue tools and materials.

The vehicle size is 5000×2000×2510mm and the wheelbase is 2933mm. The car body is petite and flexible, and it is more suitable for walking through mountain paths or even roadless areas, which is convenient for firefighters and rescuers to quickly arrive at the scene to carry out fire fighting.

The shooting vehicle is a mid-top and short-axle version. If there are stricter requirements on the height of the car body, such as the road with caves, Tuyano can provide a flat-top model with a car height of 2300 mm. If more people need to be transported, Tuyano can also provide a car with a length of 5990mm and a wheelbase of 3750mm, which can take an extended axle with 10-17 people.

The vehicle is equipped with a Cummins 2.8T diesel engine, which meets the national sixth B emission standard. The maximum power of the engine is 177 HP and the maximum torque is 360 N m.. It has strong power, and it is more economical to use diesel for daily use. Matching the engine is a 6-speed manual gearbox. It is understood that automatic transmission models are also under development, and it is believed that automatic transmission models can be extended to more application fields.

The auxiliary water tank is on the left side of the engine compartment.

The air filter is on the right side of the engine compartment.

The core of the car is the part-time 4wd system, which can be driven in two-wheel drive high speed, four-wheel drive high speed and four-wheel drive low speed. It has the advantage of high adaptability and can easily cope with all kinds of complicated road conditions. It is very convenient to switch the four-wheel drive mode when encountering special road conditions. You don’t have to pull the joystick as hard as an old car, you only need to reach out and gently press the button to switch the drive form. Drivers who have never driven Tuyano before can quickly understand the driving mode of four-wheel drive Tuyano with a little familiarity.

A protective plate is installed under the engine, which can effectively prevent the sand and gravel on the road from hitting the engine.

A protective plate is also installed under the gearbox and the transfer case.

In recent years, McPherson independent suspension has been widely used in cars, SUVs and light buses, which makes us experience the excellent comfort of independent suspension and the driving stability of vehicles is better. The front wheel of the four-wheel drive version of Tuyano fire-fighting personnel carrier adopts McPherson independent suspension, and the rear wheel adopts leaf spring dependent suspension. Compared with some off-road buses on the market with steel plate non-independent suspension at the front and rear, Tuyano can make the drivers and passengers on the bus have a more comfortable and stable driving experience without affecting the bearing capacity.

The front wheel, the whole vehicle uses Chengshan 235/85R16LT tires.

There is a radio, a storage compartment, an air conditioning panel and a switch panel in the middle of the instrument panel, next to which is an air conditioning outlet and a USB socket. The front driver’s area is spacious, so as a fire rescue vehicle, it is easy to install warning lights, alarms and other equipment on the instrument panel.

The interior of the passenger area is also mainly gray, with a simple overall style and practical dirt resistance for daily use. The rear passenger door is also equipped with an automatic welcome pedal, which makes it easy to get on and off even if the chassis is raised. There is a large cargo space behind the last row of seats, which is convenient for loading fire rescue tools and materials. As a short-axle vehicle, the space on the vehicle is limited, but the overall space utilization rate is very high.
