Tires on Dongfeng Sokon C31S (Донгфенг)

The on-board truck made its debut in the production range of the Chinese brand in 2019. Like the entire lineup, it belongs to compact commercial equipment, focused on cargo transportation in large cities. The concept is built on a combination of small dimensions, ease of handling in limited space, technical simplicity and reliability, low ownership costs, and maximum functionality in everyday use.

Design Features

The truck was created based on the C31 model, presented in the early 2010s. The key difference was the increased frame, which provided a longer wheelbase and, as a result, the size of the cargo platform. This allowed to expand the functionality of the machine due to the possibility of transporting more bulky building materials, equipment, and agricultural cargo. The car retained its maximum utility. The cabin is designed for two people, and the side panels of the cargo platform are made folding for easier loading. With a relatively compact width of about 1.67 meters, the truck remains convenient for operation in dense urban development and on narrow roads.

An important difference from the predecessor was the use of a different engine - an "atmospheric" gasoline engine with a volume of 1.6 liters, corresponding to the China VI environmental standard. It develops 120 horsepower at 158 Nm and is combined exclusively with a 5-speed "mechanics". Such a "bundle" is distinguished by reliability in intensive commercial operation and the ability to perform a wide range of repair work outside of a specialized service. Here, it is also worth noting the gear ratios in the transmission, which allow the 120-horsepower engine to confidently cope with its duties even with a fully loaded cargo platform, demonstrating a sufficiently moderate fuel consumption - up to 7 liters per "hundred" in mixed mode.

The chassis has a typical layout for such equipment. In the front, McPherson struts are used, and in the back, a dependent spring structure with a non-separable bridge is applied. It is this scheme that is most in demand in the segment of compact trucks due to its high carrying capacity and resistance to overloads. The maximum payload reaches approximately 1000-1035 kg, depending on the configuration. For a relatively compact model, this is a very serious indicator, thanks to which the C31S is actively used in construction, small trade, and agriculture. The minimum turning radius remains small, which simplifies maneuvering in courtyards and markets. The ground clearance allows confident movement not only on asphalt but also on dirt roads.

Equipment and Comfort Level

Despite the utilitarian positioning, the C31S received significantly more modern equipment compared to its predecessor, especially in the top versions - an electromechanical power steering, air conditioning, electric windows, and multimedia with a 7-inch display. Depending on the configuration, a rear-view camera, a multifunctional steering wheel, and leather upholstery of the seats are offered. The vertical landing provides excellent visibility during city operation. The cabin is designed to be as simple as possible, but it has a large number of niches for documents and small items, which is important for daily operation.

The wheels were also an important factor. The combination of a diameter of 14 inches and a high profile of the tires significantly improves the smoothness of the ride, providing the driver with sufficiently comfortable working conditions. In the "factory" configuration, models of reinforced design are used, which are resistant to mechanical stress and adapted to prolonged operation with high weight loads. In the "Mosavtoshina" online store, there is always a wide range of such models, designed for various conditions.
