FAW Group Corporation is a state-owned automobile company headquartered in Changchun, Jilin, China. Its main products are automobiles of all types, buses and auto parts. FAV is the manufacturer of the first domestic passenger luxury sedan, Hong Qi. According to the results of 2014, the company took third place in terms of production volume, producing 2,700,000 cars. The entire Fav model range.
Load capacity, overall dimensions
In Russia, sales of this light truck model began in 2005. In the same year, a plant came into operation in Biysk (Altai Territory), which assembled the 1041 machine on Russian territory.
For our conditions it turned out to be a successful car.
With a total length of less than six meters, the standard body length is 3.4 meters. That is, a car with the dimensions of a large passenger car, which is noticeable even in the photo, can easily transport a fairly heavy load.
That is why the FAW 1041 with its good technical characteristics was liked by the owners of private companies that are engaged in daily transportation of goods.
In the basic modification it has the following characteristics:
- machine length width - 1.8 meters, height along the awning - 2.15 meters;
- the carrying capacity in this version is 1.3-1.5 tons;
- wheelbase - 2.85 meters, front wheel track - 1.414 meters;
- ground clearance - 180 mm;
- distributed weight with full load - on the front axle - 1.52 tons, on the rear axle - 2.53 tons;
- distributed weight without load - on the front axle - 1.26 t, on the rear axle - 0.917 t;
- seats in the cabin - two;
- cab type - cabover, tilting, with two doors and one row of seats;
- the frame is powerful, stamped and riveted, trapezoidal;

FAW dump trucks
This company deals with small commercial vehicles, as well as medium- and heavy-duty trucks and special equipment. But for now we are only interested in dump trucks.
The manufacturer produces several versions of dump trucks, with different technical indicators. But all FAW dump trucks have several positive qualities in common:
- The dump truck suspension is designed with a significant margin of strength, which ensures high load capacity, as well as reliability when using the vehicle under any conditions;
- Simplicity of design without the use of a large amount of electrical equipment ensures good reliability;
- Dump truck bodies have good volumetric characteristics, which makes it possible to transport a large amount of cargo;
- All FAW dump trucks have a frame structure with a cabless cab. The cabin itself is spacious and has a large degree of glazing. In principle, these dump trucks do not have any significant features. Simple, reliable, they are a good option for those who need a heavy-duty dump truck.
Camber
Test drives were carried out on the light Chinese truck model 1041 many times, as a result of which the positive aspects of this vehicle were noted, including the high driving performance of the FAV 1041. These are largely due to the design features of the vehicle.
Patency
- rake angle - 22 degrees;
- back angle - 18 degrees;
- the maximum angle at which the wheel can turn is 38 degrees;
- turning radius - 16.5 meters;
- ground clearance - 18 centimeters.
Front wheel alignment angles
- camber - 1 degree;
- toe - 1.5-3 mm;
- how much the axis of the wheel that is turning is tilted - 7.5 degrees;
- the tilt of the axis of the turning wheel in longitudinal relation is 1.25 degrees.
Design
Unlike its younger brother Besturn X40, the X80 revealed in this article turned out to be much slimmer and sportier. Its body is dominated by sharp and angular lines. Thanks to the original side glazing, we visually create the impression that in front of us is a coupe-shaped crossover. But despite its relative sportiness, it also has off-road notes. These include plastic edging along the lower contour of the body, as well as low-mounted front fog lights.
An interesting distinctive feature of the exterior of the Chinese SUV is the L-shaped LED daytime running lights. You can also highlight the low threshold for loading luggage and the wide 5th door, which significantly simplifies the loading of large items. Despite all its simplicity, the interior of the crossover turned out to be very nice. Smooth lines and soft transitions gave it a peaceful atmosphere. This interior perfectly conveys the calm nature of the car. But in turn, it is also technologically advanced, as evidenced by the engine start button and the multimedia display installed above the front panel.
Ride quality
- cruising speed at which the lowest fuel consumption occurs is 80 km/h;
- maximum speed - 110 km/h;
- permitted elevation angle - 28;
- average braking speed - more than 5;
- braking distance at a speed of 60 km/h - 36.7 meters;
- R16 tires.
Driving performance is also improved by the fact that the engine blocks have wide flow channels for coolant, and therefore it is almost impossible to overheat.
On restyled models, an ABS anti-lock braking system is installed, and power steering makes life easier for the driver.
The existing fuel filter is equipped with a heater and a water separator. The latest models (after 2011) have an improved, more powerful interior heater.
There is a receiver with MP-3, speakers, antenna, USB.
Operating experience of this vehicle suggests that with proper care of it and its components, the service life before major repairs is 250-300 thousand kilometers on Russian roads.
Original parts last four times longer than similar Russian spare parts.
Operation in the city and off-road
The 2022 FAW X80 is a standard crossover for the city. It has a moderately soft suspension, so small bumps on the road will be practically unnoticeable in the cabin. The considerable ground clearance will not allow it to stop completely when passing speed bumps. A rear view camera will be a great help for those who have trouble feeling the dimensions of the car and are afraid of scratching it while parking.
The crossover drives smoothly along the highway, while the cabin will be quiet even at a speed of 120 km/h, because the manufacturer paid due attention to the noise insulation of the model. During sharp maneuvers at high speed, slight roll appears; they are the result of a soft suspension. The car was not created to overcome off-road conditions, but despite this, the high ground clearance and high-torque engine will allow it to confidently move along forest paths.
Advantages of the basic model
The base truck is equipped with a CAD32-09 diesel engine. This is an inline four-stroke power unit with 4 cylinders, direct injection and liquid cooling.
The volume of this internal combustion engine is 3.2 liters with a torque of 245 Nm. Fuel consumption is 10.4 liters per 100 km.
FAV 1041 has rear-wheel drive and a transmission consisting of a five-speed manual gearbox, a single-plate dry clutch with a hydraulic drive and a two-shaft cardan with an intermediate support.
The model has a somewhat unusual appearance for our cars.
Some car enthusiasts call the truck an aquarium due to the large glass area of the cabin. However, there is a definite advantage to this, especially when driving in urban conditions.
Visibility of the road and the environment around the car deserves the highest rating.
Fog lights fit well on the front bumper. It would seem that the not very wide radiator grille is designed so thoughtfully that it completely ensures the cooling of the circulating fluid.

The front headlights are successfully integrated into the design of the car. Since the cabin is located quite high, there are functional bars and handrails on both sides to help you get inside without difficulty.
The comfortable driver's seat can be adjusted. The backrest tilts within 25 degrees, and the entire seat moves in a horizontal plane, depending on the length of the legs, within 17 centimeters.
There are three-point seat belts at the driver and passenger locations.
From his seat, the driver has full control not only of the road situation, but also of all instruments and switches in the cabin.
The dashboard is not overloaded with arrows and remote controls. At the same time, the dashboard is equipped with spacious, lockable niches for storing various documents and items.
The steering wheel is small in diameter, but at the same time thick enough to be comfortable to hold, and does not interfere at all in the cabin.
The steering column is adjustable in height (within one and a half centimeters) and tilt (within a range of 15 degrees). On the column under the steering wheel there is a combination switch for headlights and windshield wipers.
In the central part of the instrument panel there is a block with a radio receiver and a control panel for the cabin heating system.
Above the glove compartment there is a cigarette lighter: this is a convenient device for connecting chargers (phone, for example) or turning on the automatic tire inflation compressor.
The pedal block is conveniently located. Moreover, the gas pedal is adjusted to the driver’s height using a nut.
With its help, the fuel supply is controlled smoothly, without jerking. This helps the driver to easily maintain the speed limit. There is a platform for the left foot, because you don’t need to keep your foot on the clutch pedal all the time.
The tilting cab rotates at an angle sufficient to make it convenient to work with the engine located on the frame under the cab.
All units are clearly visible and easily accessible. Replacing them is not difficult. There are also no problems with servicing the power unit.
When working with a tilting cabin, you must follow safety measures and a number of rules:
- before starting to work with the engine , you must select a flat area and turn off the propulsion system;
- Be sure to set the car to the handbrake ;
- check that the gearshift lever is in the “neutral” position ;
- all loose and loose objects and things must be removed from the cabin ;
- doors must be tightly closed.
