A Technical and Detailed Look at the New Arian Diesel Truck

In the commercial vehicle sector, there is a significant gap between light and heavy-duty trucks. While the maximum capacity of light trucks (commonly referred to as "kamyonets" in Iran) is around 9 tons, the next category jumps to 18-ton trucks. Arian Diesel has now introduced an exclusive product that fills this gap, introducing a new class and tonnage to the market—the JAC N120 truck.

Technical Specifications of the 12-Ton JAC Truck

The JAC N120 is powered by a 4.5-liter Cummins turbo-diesel engine that produces 210 horsepower and 740 Nm of torque. These figures represent a 40% increase in power and 50% more torque compared to similar trucks in the Iranian market. With Euro 5 emissions standards, this engine ensures optimal fuel efficiency and delivers reliable performance on challenging terrains and inclines.

Power is transmitted through an 8-speed automatic transmission, making the JAC N120 the first 12-ton truck in Iran with an automatic gearbox. This feature enhances driving comfort and safety, reducing driver fatigue on long hauls.

Modern and Functional Design

The JAC N120 features a 2023 design language, departing from the simplistic aesthetics of older trucks. Sharp lines and a modern profile give it a contemporary appearance. The truck’s dimensions are:

Length: 8,287 mm
Width: 2,345 mm
Height: 2,475 mm
Wheelbase: 4,700 mm
Cargo box length: 6,200 mm
The sleeper cab is designed with ergonomics, excellent visibility, and easy access to controls in mind. High-quality interior materials ensure a quiet and comfortable driving experience.
