Unveiling Our Star Model, the FTR

**Qingling Isuzu FTR Medium-Heavy Truck: Redefining the Benchmark for Inter-City Logistics with Uncompromising Performance**  
In April 2026, Qingling Motors’ flagship FTR medium- and heavy-duty truck continued to lead the medium- and long-distance intercity logistics market, thanks to its four core advantages—distinctive exterior design, exceptional heavy-load capability, rust-proof for seven years and puncture-resistant for ten, and a unique cab protection system—making it the industry’s focal point.

**Distinctive Aesthetic: A Perfect Fusion of Rugged Design and Functionality**  
The FTR heavy-duty truck features a family-style design jointly developed by Qingling and Isuzu, with a high-strength galvanized steel body and a closed-cab configuration that together create a highly distinctive, rugged aesthetic. The bumper is wrapped in black engineering plastic, with fog lamps integrated into the lower section, and the step height is only 450 mm, striking an optimal balance between practicality and off-road capability. The cargo bed options include flatbed, box-type, and purpose-built chassis conversions, with lengths ranging from 5.3 to 9.6 meters and wheelbases from 4,500 to 7,200 mm, meeting the diverse needs of express delivery, fast freight, cold-chain logistics, and other applications.

**Strong Overload Capacity: Chassis Technology Forges a “Steel Backbone”**  
The vehicle is powered by an Isuzu 4HK1-series four-cylinder diesel engine, offering a power output range of 175 to 205 horsepower, and is paired with an MLD-6Q six-speed manual transmission, delivering a maximum payload capacity of up to 21 tonnes. The chassis features an integral U-shaped frame measuring 258×80×10, with a solid end-plate front axle of the F063 type and a stamped-and-welded rear axle housing of the RT210 type, complemented by a 6-plus-7 leaf-spring suspension system that ensures outstanding stability even under full-load conditions. According to field test data from a leading logistics company, the FTR has maintained a cargo-box deformation rate of less than 0.3% over three consecutive years of high-intensity transportation—significantly better than the industry average.

**Seven Years Without Rust, Ten Years Without Punctures: Anti-Corrosion Technology Sets the Industry Benchmark**  
Drawing on Volkswagen’s “cavity waxing plus underbody armor” technology, the FTR body is constructed from double-sided galvanized steel sheets, while the underbody undergoes electrophoretic coating to form a dense anti-corrosion barrier. Key components such as the frame and cargo box have all passed a 720-hour salt spray test. A customer in a northern region reported: “After seven years of operation in saline-alkali soil, the underbody showed only trace surface rust, and the cargo-box rivets remained completely free of corrosion—resulting in a service life that far exceeds that of comparable products.”

**Unique Cab Protection System: Enhanced Safety Design**  
The cab features a high-strength, fully enclosed structure and is equipped with hydraulic power steering and an adjustable steering wheel, reducing steering effort by 30%. An ABS anti-lock braking system paired with a dual-circuit brake line provides redundant safety protection, while the front Brembo® 320 mm floating brake discs combined with four-piston calipers shorten the braking distance by 15% compared with the previous generation. In addition, the vehicle can be optionally fitted with a narrow front bumper and LED daytime running lights, further enhancing safety in challenging road conditions.

Industry experts point out that FTR medium- and heavy-duty trucks, driven by a dual-engine strategy of “technological iteration and in-depth application scenario development,” have not only solidified Qingling’s leading position in the intercity logistics sector but also provided the industry with a solution that strikes a balance between heavy-load capability and durability. With the full implementation of China VI emission standards, this flagship model is poised to continue spearheading technological innovation in the medium- and heavy-duty truck market.
