How Dongfeng Rich Pickup Improves Safety in Tough Driving

Dongfeng Rich pickup is engineered to put driving safety first on real roads and in harsh environments.

Safety First: How Dongfeng Rich pickup Protects Drivers

The entire Dongfeng Rich pickup series equips ESC electronic stability as standard. This is our core safety promise. ESC helps the vehicle stay stable when the surface changes without warning. It supports control on high-speed cornering, and on ice, snow, or slippery roads. Rear wheel disc brakes add confident stopping in mountainous and rainy areas. Dual airbags come standard for essential occupant protection.

1. Standard ESC, Real Confidence

ESC works in the background. It measures steering angle and wheel speed, then applies precise braking to keep the truck on course. The result is calm control when a curve tightens or the road turns slick. This is practical, everyday safety - pickup truck safety with ESC - not just a list of features.

•  Standard ESC across the series

•  Safer handling on corners, ice, snow, and wet roads

•  Rear wheel disc brake for stable braking in challenging terrain

•  Dual airbags for front-row protection

• Tested Where Safety Matters Most

We validate safety in the real world, not only in labs. The New RICH platform has completed more than 450,000 km of severe working-condition testing. We also verify environmental adaptability at –30 °C, 45 °C, and 4,500 m altitude. These numbers matter to fleet buyers and private owners alike. They show that the Dongfeng Rich pickup keeps stability and braking performance when weather and altitude work against you.

Endurance and Adaptability Backed by the Platform

Our platform is mature and reliable. That foundation lets safety systems perform consistently over time. Components face repeated thermal cycles, dust, water, and load changes. We tune ESC and braking to remain predictable after long use, not only when the truck is new.

In cold regions at –30 °C, tires harden and grip drops. ESC reduces the risk of a slide and helps the driver steer out of trouble. In hot regions at 45 °C, brake performance must stay stable under heat. The rear disc setup resists fade and keeps pedal feel consistent. At 4,500 m altitude, thin air changes engine response and braking airflow. Our calibration accounts for this so drivers feel a steady, familiar response.

These conditions reflect daily pain points for industry: remote deliveries, construction sites, farm tracks, and long highway transfers. Safety is not a single moment; it is repeatable control shift after shift.

Power, Efficiency, and Practical Specs That Support Safe Driving

Safety also comes from power you can predict and efficiency that lowers running cost. The Dongfeng Rich pickup offers gasoline and diesel choices so you can match duty cycles and terrain.

• Powertrains Tuned for Real Roads

Diesel (YUCHAI YCY24165-61, "Y24” turbocharged)

Displacement 2.361 L, power rating 121 kW @ 3,600 rpm, maximum torque 350 Nm @ 1,600–2,800 rpm, Euro VI B emissions. In comparison with Wingle 5 4D20M, the Yuchai Y24 delivers +17% power and +9% torque. Fuel consumption per 100 km drops by 0.5 L (2WD) and 0.3 L (4WD). More torque at low revs means smoother pull-away with a load and fewer mid-corner gear changes - good for stability.

• Gasoline (2TZD, 2.4 L naturally aspirated)

Displacement 2.438 L, power rating 116 kW, maximum torque 235 Nm, Euro VI B emissions. The joint-venture Toyota-platform technology is mature and stable, offering dependable response and economic fuel use.

Both powertrains pair with a 5-speed manual gearbox (5MT) and offer 2WD or 4WD. For buyers who need traction plus efficiency, the diesel 4WD is a truly fuel-efficient 4WD pickup option.

✅  Specifications at a Glance

•  Dimensions (L×W×H): 5085x1820x1725/1805 mm

•  Cargo bed (L×W×H): 1395x1390x430 mm

•  Wheelbase: 3050 mm

•  Min. ground clearance: 215 mm for rough tracks

•  Angles: Approach 31°, Departure 24-25° for ramps and trails

•  Curb weight: 1662-1840 kg; Load capacity: 490 kg

•  Driving type: 2WD or 4WD; Fuel: Gasoline or Diesel

These specs add up to stable dynamics. Ground clearance and approach/departure angles help avoid underbody hits that unsettle a truck mid-turn. A balanced wheelbase supports straight-line tracking on highways. With ESC and disc braking, the chassis stays composed even when the bed is loaded.
