Sufficiently successful Chinese automobile corporation FAW is developing steadily, keeping up with the pace of the growing national economy of the Celestial Empire from year to year. The declared widespread control by party and state bodies over the quality of automotive products forces the country's manufacturers:
- Learn from the experience of mostly neighboring Japanese and Korean auto giants.
- Carry out a kind of cooperation using power units and transmissions of branded models in our own assembly plant.
- Increase investment of resources of existing intellectual and operational capabilities.
So, taking into account these features, FAV 1031 overview will contain certain links to the components of other manufacturers available in it. The model was first presented by the manufacturer in 2007 and at the Interauto exhibition received the honorary title of "Truck of the Year". Belongs to the category of very popular light commercial vehicles:
- The lifting capacity declared by the manufacturer is 990 kg.
- Chassis type - frame platform with dimensions 3100 x 1612 x 400 mm.
- Engine - turbo diesel, 4-cylinder, full-fledged copy of Nissan QD32, 90 horsepower. The presence of fuel equipment manufactured by Bosch allows it to support the Euro-3 standard.
- The gearbox is a manual 5-speed, similar to Nissan, it has a dry single-plate clutch.
- Drive - classic rear, used on almost all trucks of this class.
In this case, the principle of the suspension device deserves attention. It is a completely successful, so-called double combination of hydraulic shock absorbers (for a comfortable ride with light loads) and steel springs that take on the bulk of the full load.
Control and cockpit
The advantage of FAV over similar models from other manufacturers is the presence of large-format glazing in the cab. The side windows and windscreen are large enough to provide maximum visibility, allowing the driver to enter the tightest of tight spaces for loading or unloading. Package contents:
- Power steering and steering column adjuster.
- Drum hydraulic brake system.
- A practical adjustable driver's seat.
Makes the operation of the car quite comfortable and convenient. There are no special frills in the cab configuration and this is fully justified by the budget format laid down by the developers.
