Dongfeng Diesel Pickup Gains ESC for Better Stability

Designed to boost team safety and ensure uninterrupted business operations, Dongfeng Diesel Pickup is equipped with Electronic Stability Control (ESC). From chassis tuning to powertrain calibration, we design every system to work together. The result is confident handling on difficult roads and dependable performance in harsh environments - without sacrificing efficiency.

Safety First: Electronic Stability Control 

❓ What ESC Means on Real Roads

 ESC monitors wheel speed, steering angle, and yaw, then applies precise braking force to help the vehicle stay on course. This is not a marketing add-on; it is a core safety layer for drivers who face unpredictable surfaces and loads.

✅  Helps keep control in high-speed cornering on expressways and ramps

✅  Improves stability on ice, snow, and slippery construction sites

✅  Works seamlessly with rear wheel disc brakes for confident stopping in rain and mountain descents

✅  Complements dual airbags to support occupant protection in critical moments

In daily use, the benefit is simple: fewer surprises. ESC steps in when traction changes without warning, providing a measurable boost to driver confidence. For fleets, that translates into fewer incidents, steadier schedules, and more time on the job. It also supports your brand reputation - vehicles that arrive safely, arrive on time. This is the promise behind our long-tail keyword focus: Dongfeng Diesel pickup ESC stability.

Power That Works Hard - and Saves Fuel

•  Yuchai Y24: Stronger and More Efficient

Under the hood, the Dongfeng Diesel pickup uses the proven Yuchai YCY24165-61 turbocharged engine on the New RICH platform. Displacement is 2.361 L with a rated output of 121 kW at 3600 rpm and 350 Nm of torque from 1600–2800 rpm. We pair it with a 5MT gearbox and available 4WD to handle steep, loose, or wet surfaces with ease. Emissions meet Euro VI B standards, supporting clean operation across regulated markets - an important advantage for public projects and enterprise procurement.

Compared with the Wingle 5 4D20M, the Yuchai Y24 delivers a 17% increase in power and 9% more torque, while fuel consumption per 100 km is reduced by 0.5 L (2WD) and 0.3 L (4WD). That combination - more usable power at low and mid rpm, with lower fuel use - helps keep total cost of ownership in check. For buyers seeking an Euro VI B diesel pickup 4WD, this balance of output and efficiency is especially compelling.

Beyond the numbers, drivability matters. The broad torque plateau from 1600-2800 rpm makes starts smoother with payload on board. It also reduces gear hunting on grades and through urban traffic. Drivers will notice relaxed cruising and easier overtakes, while fleet managers will see steadier fuel logs and fewer complaints. This is how we define performance: consistent, repeatable gains in real work conditions.

Proven Durability for Harsh Jobs

•  Tested to Extremes

Reliability is not an afterthought - it is built into the platform. On the basis of our original mature architecture, the New RICH has undergone over 450,000 km of severe working-condition testing. We validated environmental adaptability at -30 °C, 45 °C, and 4,500 m altitude, ensuring robust operation from winter highways to high-plateau job sites. The Y24 powertrain has already seen wide on-road adoption across multiple Chinese OEMs, demonstrating high quality and reliability in daily service.

This extensive verification is about more than passing lab cycles. It ensures seals, cooling, electronics, and mountings keep performing when dust, heat, cold, and elevation push materials to their limits. For owners, that means fewer unplanned stops and predictable maintenance windows. For drivers, it means the pickup starts in the cold, keeps its cool under load, and feels stable when the weather turns.

As manufacturers, we focus on system synergy. ESC supports control on poor surfaces; the rear wheel disc brakes provide linear stopping in rain and on long descents; the dual airbags add a critical cushion in emergencies. The powertrain's flat torque makes hill starts and towing more manageable, which indirectly supports safety by reducing driver stress. All of these parts are designed to work as one vehicle - reliable, efficient, and safe.
