EQ1093F6D 5 Tonne Truck

Last updated: 13 November 2006

In addition to the military standard (EQ2xxx) Dongfeng trucks, the PLA is also equipped with a large number of the commercial standard (EQ1xxx) Dongfeng trucks developed by Dongfeng Motor Corporation (DFM) for troop and cargo transportation. Unlike the EQ2-series trucks, the EQ1-series trucks were designed to travel mainly on road with very limited off-road capability. However, these trucks provide a low-cost alternative to the expensive military standard cross-country trucks in peacetime and non-critical environment.

The Dongfeng EQ1093F6D is the latest variant of the DFM’s famous EQ140 series five tonne cargo truck first introduced in the late 1970s. The EQ1093F6D was developed in the 1990s using the Cummins diesel technology. The truck uses a 4X4 arrangement and is available in various configurations including cargo, workshop, dump, crane, fire engine, tanker, etc.

The EQ1093F6D is in 4X4 arrangement and is powered by a Dongfeng-made Cummins 6BT5.9 six-cylinder in line, 5.88 litre, liquid-cooled, turbo-charged, direct injection, 160hp diesel engine, with a 2-speed transfer case and a six-speed (five forward, one reverse) gear box. The fuel tank is 160 litre.
