The million-mile journey of China's heavy-duty truck Sitrak

How much is the maximum mileage that China's heavy-duty trucks can maintain efficient operation? A China National Heavy Duty Truck (CNHTC), also known as Sinotruk Sitrak, has achieved a milestone in efficient operation. Starting its operation in 2014 until April 26, 2023, within a span of 9 years, it reached a mileage of 3 million kilometers, setting a record for the most efficient operation among China's high-end heavy-duty trucks.

This legendary Sinotruk Sitrak comes from a logistics company in Wuxi, with Mr. Fu Zhongyan as the company's leader and the owner of this Sitrak. According to him, this truck shuttles daily between Wuxi and Zhengzhou, covering a daily operational distance of 1600km. Operating in a detached-trailer mode, the truck runs continuously without resting, month after month, without any downtime. It's common for the engine to continue running without cooling down before hitting the road again. What impresses him most is that the earnings from this Sitrak over five years can match those of an ordinary heavy-duty truck over ten years. Its consistent performance without any worries has made significant contributions to the company's development.

A Chinese netizen also shared their Sitrak's mileage in the comment section, which is 2.32 million kilometers.
