Recently, we published pictures of an unusual Chinese truck FAW, which looks very similar to Mercedes-Benz Econic. And now we can see a spy shot of the similar truck, but under the brand Dongfeng. The front end looks differently than on the FAW model - similar to MAN trucks. Interestingly, this truck is not a garbage one, but the usual dump truck. Or is it used as a garbage in China?
Why do the Chinese think the Mercedes-Benz Econic is the ideal garbage truck chassis? American truck manufacturers build much better garbage trucks chassis, AND they are cheaper.
Who knows... German vehicles design for chinese always was goal to achieve. Maybe it's some kind of stereotype.
You're right. The Chinese have the flawed thinking that German design (especially Benz) is always the best in the world. But that's not true anymore. For trucks, B-B, MAN Volvo, Scania and Renault are all about the same level, and Iveco close behind.
American truck design is actually better for China. The engineering is much more straightforward. Repairs are easier, faster and cheaper. The Germans get carried away with overly complex designs.
Yeah but American trucks are ugly.
