Truck Baw Fenix 1044 ("BAS Phoenix"): specifications

Freight transportation is developing every day. Manufacturers of commercial equipment also do not stand still. And if before the transportation of low-tonnage cargoes were engaged in "Gazelle", now Chinese diesel trucks began to appear on the market. One of these is the Baw Fenix 1044. For technical specifications and a review, see our article.

Characteristic

For the first time this car appeared on the Russian market in 2006. However, soon the machine was very popular. Since 2008, "Bav Phoenix" is officially produced at a joint venture in Ulyanovsk. The machine is characterized by high productivity, low price and maintainability.

Design and interior

The exterior is characteristic of the Asian market. The car has a rather narrow cabin. Outwardly, it looks very nice - large crystal lights with turn signals and neat fog lights. The bumper is plastic, painted in body color. The windshield is three-part. Owners note a fairly large area of glazing, especially from the side. Closer to the front of the window leans down. This contributes to a better overview. The body is standard for a truck of this class. There are lateral bumpers, painted in white and red color. For ease of landing in the cabin provides a handle and footboard. Mirrors are very large and are hung over the side of the cabin. They are quite informative, celebrate the reviews. In 2011 the car underwent restyling. But in addition to the new optics and a slightly modified bumper, the manufacturer modernized the technical stuffing. Attention was paid to the driver's comfort. So, the seat is now adjustable in the angle of inclination and moves back and forth (of course, all the settings are mechanical). The noise insulation was improved in the cabin. The stove and electrician was refined. In the upper part of the cockpit a ventilation hatch appeared. Still, the driver's landing is quite high.

Technical part

Baw Fenix 1044 is a low-tonnage truck with a bonnet layout. The car is equipped with a diesel engine with a working volume of 3.2 liters. Despite such a large volume, the maximum capacity of the unit is 103 horsepower. However, the most important thing for commercial vehicles is not power, but torque. Here it is 245 nm. This is enough to transport up to one and a half tons of cargo. However, the owners' reviews say that the car can easily cope with two tons. At the same time the Chinese "Bav Phoenix" pleases with fuel consumption. At 90 kilometers per hour it is 14 liters. If you move 60, the car will consume no more than 9 liters per hundred. The transmission of the Baw Fenix 1044 is mechanical, with 5 steps. At the latter, the maximum speed is 95 kilometers per hour. Note that the power unit is equipped with a turbocharger. There is an intermediate cooling function.

Suspension

The truck is equipped with a spring suspension of a dependent type. Shock absorbers, oil, telescopic type. As you could already see on the first photo, there is a beam in front. Reviews say that this is the most reliable arrangement of the suspension. By the way, this design was used on "Lawns", and then moved to "Gazelle". With regard to maintenance, the beam requires only periodic pintle bolt. This procedure is done every 6 months. In all other respects, the suspension confidently tolerates all pits and loads. The braking system is the same as the "Gazelle". Front - disk two-piston, rear - the classic "drums". However, unlike the Gorky "fellow", the brakes are equipped with a pneumatic drive.

Bodywork

The options for the bodywork of the Baw Fenix 1044 truck just a huge amount. Most of the cars came with a classic on-board layout.
There were also isothermal, manufactured goods and furniture vans. Also Baw Fenix 1044 was equipped with a refrigerator box. Less common versions of evacuators and vehicles with a manipulator. The machine is actively used for both urban and inter-regional traffic.

Reviews

Let's look at what problems owners face when operating a Baw Fenix 1044 truck. The reviews note that the car is very winding in corners. Poor quality of anticorrosion treatment. The metal on the cockpit is covered in bugs after three years of operation. The same goes for the frame. It rusts literally before our very eyes.

Next, go to the salon. We have already said that since 2011 the cabin has been refined. Prior to this, the owners were faced with the problem of bad wiring. I had to re-sort and install it. Another problem is the poor insulation of the cabin. At -15 degrees with heating can not cope even a regular stove. In the realities of the Russian climate, this machine does not show itself in the best way. The only way out is to install an autonomous heater. But again, this is an additional cost. The cost of the new autonomy is from 30 thousand rubles. What is really sharpened by the Russian conditions for the Baw Fenix 1044 is the battery. Its capacity and starting current are enough to start the engine. As for the interior trim, the materials here are used frankly cheap. The same corrugation on the gearshift lever is torn already a year after operation. But what really pleases me is the availability of spare parts. As this truck is assembled in Russia, the price of the parts is rather low. Find the right spare part for Chinese Baw no problem. There are more than 80 Baw representative offices in Russia. The only thing that "Gazelle" is cheaper - it's rubber and fuel system (on the Chinese installed fuel pump).

Price

The cheapest version is onboard. It can be bought at a price of 595 thousand rubles. Then the price depends on the length and type of platform. On average, tenovannye modifications can be purchased for 750 thousand rubles. The car is covered by a two-year warranty.

Conclusion

So, we found out what a given truck is. Is it worth it to buy for commercial purposes? He is not a single competitor to Gazel. However, "Bav" is a good analog of the Gorky "lorry". Prices for them are about the same. In terms of maintenance, the machine is almost not a problem. That "Gazelle", that "Bav" after the purchase still have to do for themselves. If you want a cheap diesel truck with a sturdy frame, you should pay attention to this "Chinese".
