Dongfeng truck marketer Pilipinas Autogroup, Inc. (PilipinasAuto) has fulfilled a repeat order from W Express Corporation (W Express), the logistics firm formerly know as DHL Philippines. Five months after the initial acquisition of two Captain E trucks last October, W Express’ experience with Dongfeng haulers so far has warranted a repeat purchase for the same light-duty models.
The Dongfeng Captain E 12-foot 4-wheel light duty truck features a curb weight of 2 tons, payload capacity of 2.45 tons, and maximum gross vehicle weight of 4.45 tons. The Captain E is powered by a license-built Isuzu D28D11-4DA 2.8-liter diesel burner with CRDi fuel injection and intercooled turbocharger forced induction producing peak power of 115PS at 3200rpm and peak torque of 260Nm at 2000rpm. The Isuzu-driven powertrain is completed by a 5-speed manual transmission with a heavy duty 240mm diameter clutch plate.
From PilipinasAuto, the Dongfeng Captain E is covered by a warranty term for 3 years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first.
