The Foton Aurora EXT Series 3 210HP 4X2 Fuel Tanker Truck is tailored for efficient, short-haul fuel distribution in urban and suburban areas—whether you’re restocking gasoline at neighborhood gas stations, delivering diesel to small manufacturing plants, or supplying fuel to construction equipment at city job sites. Powered by a Cummins ISF3.8s5210 diesel engine, it delivers 210 horsepower and 760 N·m of torque at 1400-2400 rpm, perfectly matched to its 16.5-ton Gross Vehicle Weight (GVW). This power setup ensures smooth acceleration through stop-and-go city traffic while maintaining steady performance on suburban roads, paired with a Fast 6J70T 6-speed manual transmission for easy shifting between low speeds (when navigating tight gas station yards) and 60km/h cruising (for cross-suburb runs). The 4X2 drive configuration and 4.875 rear axle ratio boost maneuverability—its 5.5-meter turning radius lets it back into narrow gas station loading bays, a key advantage over bulkier 6X4 tankers that struggle in urban spaces.​

What sets this tanker apart for urban-suburban fuel delivery is its safe, efficient tank design and practical features. The 12m³ fuel tank is constructed from Q235B carbon steel with a double-layer anti-corrosion coating (extending service life by 30% vs. standard tanks) and meets international safety standards for fuel transport. It includes critical safety components: an emergency shutoff valve (activates in 0.5 seconds if leaks are detected), anti-static grounding cables (prevents sparking during loading/unloading), and a pressure relief valve (protects against tank overpressure in hot weather). The tanker also features a quick-connect loading/unloading system that cuts transfer time by 20%—vital when restocking multiple gas stations in a day. Underneath, a reinforced single-layer frame (220×75×8mm) and 7/9-leaf spring suspension stabilize the tank during partial-load trips (common when delivering to small sites), reducing fuel sloshing and minimizing wear on the chassis.​

For small fleet owners or fuel distributors focused on cost-efficiency and reliability, the Aurora EXT Series 3 delivers clear value. Its 280L fuel tank lasts a full day of 8-10 delivery stops (covering 200+ km) without refueling, and the Cummins engine’s optimized combustion keeps average fuel consumption at 18-20L per 100km—7% lower than similar 210HP fuel tankers. Maintenance is hassle-free too: the engine requires oil changes only every 15,000km, and common wear parts (like air filters or brake pads) are widely available through global aftermarket networks. Inside the cab, driver-friendly features reduce fatigue during frequent short hauls: an adjustable fabric seat (supportive for 4-5 hour shifts), a 7-inch display with reverse camera (critical for safe loading bay parking), and USB ports for charging communication devices. It’s the agile, cost-smart solution for urban-suburban fuel delivery—without compromising on safety or efficiency.​
