The Hyundai Commercial Vehicles Zhidao 700M 220HP 6X2 4.7m Dump Truck is built for mid-sized businesses tackling heavier regional hauling—ideal for a construction firm moving 6 tons of steel beams to a suburban shopping mall construction site, an aggregate supplier delivering gravel to a 50km-distant highway repair zone, or an agricultural co-op transporting bulk wheat to a regional grain mill. Powered by a Yuchai YC6JA220-60 diesel engine (220 horsepower, 850 N·m of torque at 1400-2000 rpm)—a massive upgrade from the Zhidao 500M’s 140HP—it handles heavy-light loads (like dense steel or bulk grain) and climbs 14° rural slopes (common near quarry or farm access roads) without straining. Paired with a 10-speed manual transmission (far more versatile than the 500M’s 6-speed for varying loads), it balances 70km/h provincial highway speeds (cutting long-haul time) with precise 25km/h movement on uneven quarry or construction site terrain. The 6X2 drive setup (a key difference from the 500M’s 4X2) distributes weight evenly across dual rear axles, preventing wheel spin on loose gravel or wet farm soil, while its 5.8-meter turning radius still fits into suburban job-site loading areas—more capable than smaller trucks for heavy loads, yet more agile than full 6X4 heavy-duty models.​

What makes this model stand out for regional heavy-light tasks is its 4.7m×2.1m×1.3m dump body and industrial-grade durability. Constructed from Q960 ultra-high-strength wear-resistant steel (far tougher than the 500M’s Q690), the body resists deformation from heavy, dense loads like steel beams or compacted gravel—critical for daily use across demanding regional jobs. The 1.1-meter loading height balances manual loading (for small crews) with enough depth to contain bulk materials during 1-2 hour highway runs, while reinforced side rails with double-welded seams prevent leaks or bulging under heavy payloads. The hydraulic lifting system uses a dual-cylinder setup (a step up from the 500M’s single pump) that raises a full 6-ton load in 25 seconds—fast enough to keep up with regional delivery schedules, even with back-to-back stops. Underneath, a triple-layer reinforced frame (250×80×10mm) and 10/10/12-leaf spring suspension absorb shocks from potholed provincial roads and rough quarry terrain, protecting both fragile cargo (like finished steel parts) and the truck’s chassis. Its 245/70R19.5 all-terrain tires (wider and more robust than the 500M’s 215/75R17s) provide unbeatable grip on gravel, mud, or wet pavement—eliminating delays from stuck vehicles during regional runs.​

For mid-sized businesses focused on scaling operations without excessive costs, the Zhidao 700M delivers exceptional long-term value. Its 280L fuel tank covers 300+ km per fill—enough for 2-3 round trips to regional job sites—while the Yuchai engine’s intelligent fuel injection keeps average consumption at 22-24L per 100km (impressive for its 220HP and heavy-load capability, only 5-7L more than the 500M despite double the payload). Maintenance is optimized for regional use: the engine uses 20,000km long-life oil (longer intervals than the 500M’s 15,000km), and key components like the transmission and hydraulic cylinders are built with industrial-grade materials to handle frequent heavy loads. Inside the cab, comfort supports all-day regional shifts: a heated/cooled air-suspended seat (reduces fatigue from long highway drives and bumpy terrain), a 12-inch touchscreen with real-time fuel monitoring and offline navigation (critical for remote regional areas), a 360° surround-view camera (for tight quarry or construction site parking), and lockable waterproof storage for tools and delivery manifests. It’s the powerful, efficient workhorse that lets mid-sized businesses take on heavier regional tasks—without the size, cost, or complexity of full heavy-duty trucks.​
