On July 18, King Long
officially delivered 22 units New Kingwin vans to Quanzhou Forestry Bureau. All
the vans will be used for forest patrols and firefighting.
Equipped with sealed
monocoque body structure, the New Kingwin is extremely reliable and adaptable
to various harsh working conditions in mountainous region. In addition, both
its ABS and EBD have significantly improved the vehicle’s safety standards.
Another strength of the
vehicle is its strong power. New Kingwin is provided with XCE’s popular V22
engine, enabling the vehicle to have high-torque output within full-speed range
of the engine. In addition, variable valve timing(VVT), electronic power
control (EPC) re adopted, allowing the vehicle to have strong power in starting
acceleration and climbing. For these reasons, New Kingwin is very suitable for
road conditions of mountain slopes.
Road conditions in forests
are complicated, so assistants to forest firefighters must have good
performance. New Kingwin is provided with tires with hub diameter of 15 inches
and width of 195mm. Also worth mentioning is that the vehicle has successfully
passed a series of stringent tests in different areas with high temperatures,
high altitude or very low temperatures.
The interior space of New Kingwin has
also been optimized to improve travel comforts for firefighters and store more
firefighting equipment.
