I wanted to write a comment on the review of Foton Auman 2011. from the author Mikhail from Znamenka written on 03/18/2014 but the text turned out to be too capacious and is not sent in the comments due to the excess of letters, so I am writing here.

This review is not to be read without laughing. I explain that such, if I may say so, a car can only be recommended to be bought by the worst enemy, and then this enemy must be very naive and gullible, and then a good friend advised, laughter. I had such a wagon, bought it out of stupidity and then constantly suffered with this Chinese invention and barely got rid of it.

About the simplicity of the so-called basic knots, it can be seen from this that the person who wrote the review is either knitting or embroidering with a cross, correctly from a technical point of view, not knots, but aggregates. I hope that the author meant the chassis and transmission, take any japanese truck from manual transmission and there is the same nothing complicated, from this I conclude that the words about simplicity are generally about nothing.

I’ll tell you about the engine, it’s the same unit, but you can’t call it too simple, although you can’t say that it’s too complicated, but the simplicity in this engine is only that it nurses too little and it’s good if it comes out a hundred thousand, and then it’s only good for scrap, because when he dies on the Chinese, in most cases he shows the fist of friendship.

The design is like that of the Japanese, the external and only external similarity of the cabin suggests that it was licked off with the Izuzu Forward, which is a five-ton truck and has an engine power of 180-220 hp, depending on the configuration. with., and this Photon has an engine with a capacity of 140 liters. from. and the sellers beat their heels in the chest that this Photon has a carrying capacity of seven tons, laughter. I agree that it will carry seven tons, but this capacity is very small for such a carrying capacity and at least 180 horses are needed.

About the van - in general, laughter, almost all domestic vans cause a lot of complaints, and the most important thing is that in the rain they flow like a sieve. I know only one Russian company for the production of vans (I won’t name it), they really make very high-quality vans, but their prices are simply cosmic and they cost 3-4 times more than all the other miserable vans.

About fittings... What does good and comfortable mean?! In my opinion, there is no logic in these words.

About fuel consumption ... I wonder how this consumption can feel like ?! And 14 liters is too low a figure, real consumption fuel on the highway for this Photon at a speed of 80 km / h is 16 liters in the summer in the absence of a headwind and side wind.

The expression "workhorse" refers to reliable trucks, which the Chinese have nothing to do with.

A new car with a guarantee for such money is hard to find, I would say that it’s not that difficult, but simply not realistic to find.

About the warranty for Chinese cars- This is a separate issue altogether. You pay the seller a lot of money for technical warranty service, but there is a huge “but”, when any kind of breakdown appears shortly after acquiring this miracle of technology, then you can forget about the warranty and believe that all the blame for any breakdown will be placed on you, and now think about why such a guarantee and throwing away are needed more than one hundred thousand rubles a year for such warranty service if you yourself can easily change the oil, adjust the valves, syringe and bring the pads. Believe me, that apart from this, they do nothing else for THAT !!!

Conclusion, the review was written by the seller in a nutshell and about nothing.

Reinforced design for modern logistics. Front disc (option) and rear drum brakes, vacuum brake booster and power steering (option) add more convenience and safety to the driver and passenger of the Foton Ollin truck.

Low fuel consumption and environmental friendliness: truck fuel consumption Foton Ollin more than 10% lower compared to trucks of the same class, vehicle mileage over 300,000 km.

The Foton 1069 is both simple and practical truck small size with excellent commercial characteristics, therefore it will become great option purchases for any company.

When developing the Photon 1069, the brand chose not manufacturability, but the simplicity and availability of cars as a priority. The result is an economical and reliable model. In terms of performance, transport is among the leaders. Despite the Chinese assembly, it is in great demand even in developed countries. Low cost and good quality made Foton 1069 very popular among consumers.

Model history and purpose

The history of the Photon 1069 model is relatively short. Truck production began in the mid-2000s. Initially, it was intended exclusively for the Chinese market and quickly became widespread. In China, the demand for the model is very high, since there are many manufacturing companies in a small space that need finished products and raw materials.

However, the Foton 1069 did not become a model only for the domestic market. Gradually, the ultra-cheap truck got out of the Asian region. In 2008, the car began to be imported to Russia, where, due to its low cost, it quickly pressed the domestic GAZelles. Now Foton 1069 is quite popular with domestic consumers, although not everyone trusts Chinese quality. Indeed, lately there has been talk of mythical problems products from the Middle Kingdom fade into the background, and there are more and more fans of Photon 1069.

In comparison with the “classmates”, the truck does not stand out with interesting external parameters and has a rather primitive appearance. Its design is extremely simple. Standard cab, large front bumper and mirrors, convenient arrangement of devices and windshield medium sizes.

The Perkins Phaser135Ti motor stands out for its ability to climb steep grades and accelerates faster. In addition, it is perfect for Russian conditions. Cold start of the unit is performed without problems. The engine is quite unpretentious and works well on domestic diesel fuel.

Device

One of the design features of the Foton 1069 is its lightweight design. This advantage especially manifested in the onboard versions of the model, which due to the small mass have greater efficiency. The layout of the car is standard for the brand's products - cabover with a longitudinal front arrangement of the unit. Due to this, the driver has the most convenient view to the front.

Front suspension Photon 1069 - dependent on longitudinal semi-elliptical springs. It also includes hydraulic shock absorbers. double action. Rear suspension also dependent on longitudinal semi-elliptical springs and built by analogy with the front.

The steering is mechanical ball. Already in the basic version, the model is equipped with a power steering. The truck engine is paired with a reliable 6-speed manual transmission.

Foton 1069 is equipped with a classic 2-circuit pneumatic braking system. All wheels have drum brakes. You can't call them super reliable.

The pluses of the car include a well-designed cabin. It is a 2-door all-metal and is designed for 3 people. The cab has an adequate range of options and plenty of room. It contains everything that the driver needs during long journeys. The cabin itself easily tips forward if necessary. Comfortable armchairs are placed inside. And driver's seat It has several adjustments to make it as comfortable as possible.

Despite the unfriendly attitude of some Russians to Chinese cars, Photon 1069 managed to earn trust and popularity in many regions. The reason for this is low price a car that surpasses almost all offers in this segment in this parameter. At the same time, the model has a number of undeniable advantages:

• good maneuverability;
• economical engine;
• a high level of ease of control (steering column adjustment and hydraulic booster);
• many additional elements (underrun devices, spare tire);
• high degree of safety (ABS, reliable brake system, mountain brake);
• simple design, which is the key to practicality and comfort;
• ease and low cost of maintenance;
• sufficient power.

The Foton 1069 is not without flaws. negative feedback concerning these trucks, a lot. Especially a lot of complaints are related to the assembly. In this regard, the car differs significantly from European and even Russian counterparts. Bearings work a maximum of 20,000-30,000 km, the clutch lasts a little longer. Moreover, dealers rarely change parts under warranty. In winter, springs regularly break, and the frame cracks even with a slight overload. Not happy with the quality of iron. Individual parts of the structure bend already under slight stress.

Many problems arise with the braking system. Here, the replacement has to be done about once every 2000 km. Gearbox in Foton 1069 is not the best trouble spot, but there are problems with it. This is where the transmission cables most often break. There are also some problems with the engine. True, his resource is not the largest - about 100,000-200,000 km. The motor confidently consumes any fuel and is not sensitive to the quality of diesel fuel. The disadvantages of the unit include not too much power, its resource is not always enough.

The cabin deserves special attention. Foton 1069 is painted without a primer on raw metal, which negatively affects the safety. Later versions of the model rot especially quickly. The cabin lasts for 1-2 years, after which the paint begins to bubble, and you have to spend money on repairs. In winter, it is quite cold in the cabin, because there are large gaps in the doors, and the stove does not heat well. Only after additional warming it becomes comfortable to ride in them.

Despite the presence of a number of shortcomings, the truck feels good in Russian realities and is a good alternative to domestic cars.

Price of new and used Foton 1069

The cost of the new Foton 1069 truck is largely determined by the modification. The price tags for the model in the basic version are as follows:

• chassis - 850,000 rubles;
• manufactured goods van - 850980 rubles;
• isothermal van - 875480 rubles;
• a van made of sandwich panels - 1,025,020 rubles;
• steel side version - 840,000 rubles;
• steel side version with a frame and an awning - 870,000 rubles.

Cost is the main trump card of the Chinese car. At the same time, the used market offers very attractive options. Here, models of 2010-2012 can be purchased for 250,000-450,000 rubles. However, when buying a used Photon 1069 machine, you should be extremely careful and perform a thorough check of the systems.

Analogues
