How does payload affect the JAC T6’s fuel consumption on highways?

The JAC T6 is often used to carry heavy loads, but many owners notice significant s in fuel efficiency when the vehicle is fully loaded on long highway trips. How does carrying different payloads passengers, cargo impact fuel economy? Have you found ways to optimize fuel usage while transporting heavy loads?

Payload has a noticeable impact on mileage:

Light load: 9–11 km/l on highways.

Full load o r heavy cargo: Mileage s to 7–8 km/l o r even lower.

Impact factors: Heavy loads increase engine strain, reduce acceleration efficiency, and increase rolling resistance.

Terrain: Uphill highways o r poor road surfaces worsen fuel economy under load.

Owner tips:

Distribute weight evenly to reduce strain on the engine.

Avoid overloading beyond manufacturer recommendations.

Maintain proper tire pressure, especially when carrying cargo.
