The Foton 1039 truck is manufactured in China. Along with it, equipment such as truck tractors and dump trucks, compact trucks and minibuses are produced. Model 1039 belongs to the class of medium-duty construction special equipment, has a mass of 3.5 tons and is suitable for performing medium to simple tasks.

Thanks to its compact size and maneuverability, it can work in urban environments. Dynamic work allows you to quickly resolve the issues raised, including the delivery of goods with frequent stops, the production of loading and unloading operations, etc. The recoupment of a car is another of its advantages, because it will take 2-3 times less time compared to similar vehicles produced in Japan or Europe.

Features and Benefits

The distinctive features of the Foton 1039 truck include high reliability compared to the products of other Chinese manufacturing plants. It is characterized by the installation of quality parts and a mechanized assembly process, which increases the accuracy of the assembly of components.

The main advantages of the machine are:

• the ability to install additional functions and options;
• control can be carried out by drivers with category B;
• robust cabin;
• the carrying capacity is in fact 50% higher than that indicated in the passport;
• improved transmission, providing economy in terms of fuel consumption;

The truck is especially popular in utilities, transport organizations, private business for the transportation of goods and food delivery.

Specifications and dimensions

The main technical characteristics of Foton 1039 include:

At the same time, the total dimensions of the car are 4.89 mx 1.83 mx 2.17 m.

Engine

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption Foton 1039 per 100 km is 10 liters with the standard vehicle configuration. If a more powerful unit is installed, consumption will increase, the same trend is observed under heavy load and difficult working conditions.

Device

The standard assembly includes the installation of power windows, car radio, central locking, rear parking sensors, fairing under the passenger compartment, heated mirrors and a power take-off. This is an advantage over comparable machines. An even more advantageous parameter is low cost.

The supporting structure of the Foton 1039 truck is a powerful frame with side members, on which all components are mounted. A dependent suspension on semi-elliptical springs with hydraulic shock absorbers and anti-roll bars in the lateral direction is also installed as standard. To ensure a long service life and high strength indicators, heavy plate steel and a large structure height are used. Due to the long frame and the installation of the side members at an impressive distance, a large load capacity is provided and torsion of parts is excluded. The length of the supporting structure is 4.22 m, the body is 5 m, and its capacity is 20 m3.

Chassis

The Foton 1039 suspension is equipped with springs with stabilizers and shock absorbers. Three springs are installed in the front, six in the back. This ensures stability when transporting materials.

Transmission

As a gearbox, a ZF design is installed, which has proven itself well on such equipment. It is characterized by high quality, compactness, low weight, equipped with a COM. To ensure maneuverability and quick start, a large reduction ratio of the first and reverse speeds is provided.

The overdrive ratio in fifth gear guarantees improved fuel consumption when driving on unloaded roads as well as reduced oil consumption.

Operator's cab

The Foton 1039 truck is equipped with a comfortable, safe and ergonomic cabin. It is single row and has the ability to slide forward to provide access to the main units. The width of the cabin is 1.8 m, the number of passenger seats is 2.

Safety is due to several factors. First of all, this is the presence of auxiliary strong elements in the structure that protect people in the cabin from damage in an accident. The second parameter is the increased glass area, which guarantees a large viewing angle. Also important is the heated rear-view mirrors.

The upholstery is made of sound-insulating material, and there is a heat-insulating layer near the engine, thanks to which a comfortable microclimate inside the cab is provided.

The Foton 1039 dashboard includes a speedometer, tachometer, engine temperature and fuel level sensors. The readings are displayed on a white background, and are highlighted in blue. Cruise control can be optionally installed, which ensures the convenience of passengers. The standard air conditioning system is designed to maintain normal temperatures all year round.

The operator's seat has several adjustments, which allows him to choose the optimal position. The steering wheel can also be adjusted for height and tilt. The seats in the cabin are combined with a headrest, one of the seats has a compartment for storing working documents. The upholstery is removable.

The Foton 1099 truck is a medium duty truck made in China. Its main characteristics are comfort, ergonomics, hardened wheelbase, safety and efficiency. When developing the technology, the emphasis was placed on the optimal ratio of price and quality. The second name of the model is Auman.

The chassis is equipped with additional superstructures that expand the scope of the machine. These include a tow truck, hydraulic side, refrigerated van and loader crane.

Features and Benefits

The machine is manufactured under license from Isuzu, and the product includes developments from MAN. As a result, the car received the following advantages:

• multifunctionality;
• the use of quality materials;
• comfortable cabin for 3 people;
• ease of management and maintenance;
• low cost.

The performance of the Foton 1099 makes it a worthy competitor to European vehicles at a fraction of the cost.

The disadvantages of technology include:

• the use of a small section cable in the on-board electrical network;
• insufficient tightness of the connectors;
• the need to replace the clutch after 40-50 thousand km;
• low power of the heater, which creates some discomfort when working in the cold season.

With a low cost of a car, these disadvantages are not significant.

Specifications and dimensions

The equipment fully meets modern requirements in terms of quality and reliability. 1099 in standard build:

The overall dimensions of the car (LxWxH) are 7.8 mx 2.33 mx 2.6 m.

Fuel consumption

Fuel consumption Foton 1099 per 100 km is 13 liters in the absence of cargo in the body, and 16 liters if there is one.

Power apparatus

Depending on the configuration and year of manufacture, the power plant can be represented by a unit from Perkins or Isuzu. The exhaust quality in both cases corresponds to Euro-3. The latter model is more economical, but less powerful (132 horsepower).

The Perkins engine with a capacity of 101 kW or 137 horsepower is more widespread. The 4-liter Phaser 135Ti is a four-cylinder model with a capacity of 445 Nm. The standard equipment of the Foton 1099 engine includes an intercooler and turbocharged supercharging, an air intercooling system and liquid cooling.

How does a car work?

The drive axle is made of a welded beam. It is made of steel, is lightweight and can withstand heavy loads. In design, it is very similar to the beam used in the GAZ models. The side members are 190 mm high and 6 mm thick. The superstructures are installed domestically.

The big advantage is the comfort and aesthetics of the appearance. In addition, Photon 1099 is different:

• the ability to install modified cabins;
• durability;
• cost-effectiveness in terms of maintenance;
• the presence of a driver's and two passenger seats;
• quality;
• multifunctionality;
• the convenience of the cargo compartment.

Chassis

Foton Auman 1099 drive axle is manufactured by Hefei Automobile Axle Co. The gear ratio is 4.33. The axles are characterized by fast ascents and high tractive power.

The wheels are mounted using flat nuts and washers, which is a more modern and convenient solution. The rear suspension is represented by multi-leaf semi-elliptical springs. The front axle is capable of withstanding a fairly large load, the fingers in its composition must be lubricated every 4-5 thousand km.

The Foton 1099 truck comes standard with a differential lock. This ensures safety on wet and icy roads.

Transmission

The box is made by ZF, which has received many positive reviews. Its main advantages include quality, compactness, low weight, and installation of a KOM.

Maneuverability and quick acceleration are due to the high reduction ratio of the first and reverse gear. When switching to 5 speed, economy is provided in terms of fuel and oil consumption.

Driver's cab

Foton 1099 cab dimensions are standard. It has a large door and one step for easy and comfortable access. The large width of the cabin makes it possible to additionally install a "sleeping bag".

The dashboard is pleasant to the touch and functional. The quality of the finish corresponds to the improved Photon models. The seats are installed comfortable, but they are equipped with a weak frame. The amount of vibration and noise in the cabin is minimal. To access the engine compartment, the cab must be tilted manually, but this is not difficult.

The driver's seat in the Foton 1099 car has the ability to adjust, like the steering column. The seats are united by a headrest and have a compartment for documents. The upholstery is removable for ease of maintenance.

Chinese trucks "Foton 1099" managed to win some recognition among Russian motorists. The positive image of the truck was formed due to the excellent balance of price and quality, in which the latter, although not ideal, is noted by the owners as significantly exceeding the level expected from the cost of the car. Unfortunately for the reviewers and fortunately for the same motorists, Foton Motors is not stable and the company's lineup is undergoing an almost annual revision.

As noted in the review, the Chinese manufacturer is developing so quickly that even its own classification cannot keep up with its changes. It will not work to find the Foton 1099 truck in the official catalog, but this does not mean that the model has ceased to exist. The Foton Motors truck system is a kind of constructor, the details of which, in fact, are technologies borrowed from the West. Foton BJ1099, referred to by some dealers as Auman BJ1099, more of these parts are not assembled, and the name Auman is ironically assigned to machines with a carrying capacity of 13 tons (Auman TX). Nevertheless, quite modern trucks can be sold under this brand in Russia, since dealers and the manufacturer are somewhat free in this issue.

Foton 1099: specifications

First of all, the old models of "Fotons" are distinguished from each other by the engine. Two types of engines were installed on "Foton 1099" at different times:

• Perkins - Phaser 135Ti diesel engine with four cylinders, intercooler and turbocharging (volume - 4 liters, power - 137 hp, torque - 445 N ∙ m at 1600 rpm);
• Isuzu - Japanese licensed diesel engines (132 hp).

Both engines only meet Euro-3 standards (models after 2009). Fuel consumption "Foton 1099" - 13 liters per 100 km in mixed mode without load - slightly higher than the consumption of Isuzu engines. Other characteristics of "Photon 1099" can also boast of many variations:

The simple, working interior of the first Fotonov 1099 was not conducive to free pastime.

The large number of installed bodies and cabins became the starting point for the huge variety of Foton 1099 trucks. The ability to adapt the car to any need was and remains one of the main advantages of this model. The all-metal cab can have one row or one and a half, two or three seats. The number of doors also depends on the modification, but the way of folding is always the same - forward. The roof is flat. The standard package includes steering wheel adjustment and power steering, shock-absorbing seats, wood-like interior trim, sleeping bag.

"Photon 1099": reviews

Onboard Foton BJ1099 with UNIC330 manipulator (Japan), side length - 5 m).

Prices for new Foton Motors cars start at 700 thousand rubles, but a four-year-old Ollin BJ1099 can be purchased for 300-400 thousand. At the same time, buyers are not deterred by possible problems with equipment wear, since most of the machine parts are easily replaced by original Western ones (Mercedes , Bosh, etc.). However, reviews about "Photon 1099" sometimes contain unique information, since some elements still have to be ordered from China, despite the work of an official dealer in Russia. The leitmotif of all the characteristics of Chinese trucks is the Russian cold, which often does not spare a weakly protected engine.

Foton 1099 is often found on Russian roads, although the model has not been in the official catalog of Foton Motors for 5 years.

Cyril, Volgograd. Car -FotonBj1099, mileage - 30 thousand km.

Oleg, Kurgan. Car -FotonAumanBj1099, age - 2 years.

The carrying capacity (7 tons) and the price were fine, and the car skated perfectly for the first month. But then the problems began: 3 visits to the car service for a total of 16 days. The engine is defective - it stalls and starts only after pulling through, and you need to drag 200-300 kilometers. The warranty service station helped a few months later. As a result, they replaced the fine filter with a similar one from KamAZ, since the original one passed air through the return line. After that, problems arose only with the starter. When it was disassembled in the workshop, the picture was strange: there was metal shavings in the casing, and the backlash of the bushing was about 1.5 mm. It turned out that it is cheaper to change the bendix to the original one from Bosh (12 thousand in total). Despite the generally good work of the machine, I will also note minor problems with the electrics: everything in the cab was fixed somehow (as a result, the heating of the mirrors and a couple of buttons, in particular the emergency gang, failed).

Cab "Foton 1099":

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

The review cannot be read without laughing. I explain that such, if I may say so, a car can only be recommended to be bought to the worst enemy and that it is necessary that this enemy be very naive and trusting, and here a good friend advised, laughter. I had such a cart, 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 main knots, it is clear 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 units. I hope that the author had in mind the chassis and transmission, take any Japanese truck with a manual gearbox and there is nothing complicated there, from this I conclude that the words about simplicity are about nothing at all.

I will say about the engine, it is the same unit, but you cannot call it too simple, although not to say that it is too complex, but the simplicity in this engine is only that it nurtures too little and it is good if a hundred thousand comes out, and then only for scrap, because when he dies in Chinese, in most cases he shows a fist of friendship.

Design - like that of the Japanese, the external and only external similarity of the cab suggests that it was licked with Izuzu Forward, which is a five-ton unit and has an engine power, depending on the configuration, 180-220 hp. with., and this Photon has an engine with a capacity of 140 liters. from. and the salespeople kick themselves in the chest that this Photon has a carrying capacity of seven tons, laughter. I agree that he will be lucky with seven tons, but this capacity for such a carrying capacity is very small 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 will not voice the name), they really make very high-quality vans, but the prices for them are simply cosmic and they cost 3-4 times more expensive than all the other poor vans.

About fittings ... What do you mean good and comfortable ?! 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 a too underestimated figure, the real fuel consumption on the highway for this Photon at a speed of 80 km / h is 16 liters in the summer in the absence of headwinds and crosswinds.

The term "workhorse" refers to reliable trucks that the Chinese have nothing to do with.

A new car under warranty for that kind of money is difficult to find, I would say that it is not difficult, but simply not realistic to find.

Warranty for Chinese cars is a separate topic altogether. You give the seller a lot of money for technical warranty service, but there is a huge "but", when soon after purchasing this miracle of technology, any breakdown appears, then you can forget about the guarantee and believe that all the blame for any breakdown will certainly fall on you, and now think about why such a guarantee is needed and throwing out more than one hundred thousand rubles a year for such a warranty service if you yourself can easily change the oil, adjust the valves, sprinkle and bring the pads. Believe me, they don't do anything else at TO !!!

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