FAW 340T6

The cabin of the FAW 340T6 looks Spartan and is devoid of a number of creature comforts, which even by the standards of a commercial truck, feels a bit underequipped. Unlike other new-generation midsize trucks, the FAW 340T6 misses out on a number of basics like an entry-level 1-DIN music system and an adjustable steering column.

Nevertheless, where the FAW 340T6 scores decently, is the sense of space and practical small storage compartments, and the presence of cubby holes. The cabin feels wide and the seat is capacious enough to seat three people with complete ease. There is a small driver information display behind the large steering wheel, which is quite informative and covers up all the basics.

The FAW 340T6 has been styled following a conventional path, like a majority of other middleweight commercial trucks. This truck looks boxy and has symmetric looking design cues to make it look proportional, but by no means, it looks dated.

The front profile of the FAW 340T6 follows a flat and has got a number of rectangular references, with a majority of things here shaped in a rectangular manner.

The black garnish above the windscreen gets small vertical garnishes and grab handles on its upper corners.

The front grille of the FAW 340T6 is shaped in a rectangular manner, with a large FAW logo placed in the middle of it and a sleek horizontal silver bar running at the top of it. The rest of the front apron of the FAW 340T6 looks simple, with small vertical cavities on the side edges.

The front bumper of the FAW 340T6 looks huge and sports the main headlamps on its corners, which are trapezoidal shaped units placed in a vertical manner. The lower part of the front grille here on the bumper too has a rectangular design and extends all the way towards the bottom of the front bumper.

Moving towards the sides, the side profile of the cab of the FAW 340T6 looks quite wide, and the long width of the cabin is only accentuated further by its window waistline rising upwards. Like the side windows, the rearview mirrors mounted on them are huge too. The FAW 340T6 tries to look a bit rugged with the help of thin body cladding over the wheel arches.

While there are not many details disclosed about the power and torque outputs of the engine of the FAW 340T6, the front and rear axles are FAW A1H, 6.5T, and FAW 485, single reduction, high torque units respectively.

The FAW 340T6 is devoid of any modern and contemporary safety feature or electronic aid, and the only noteworthy safety feature present in the FAW 340T6 is that it has a lockable day and sleeper cabin, with a manual central locking feature.

The FAW 340T6 is one decent option in the midsize truck category, which is already crowded with other established potent rivals. In that essence of competition, the FAW 340T6 brings nothing special to the table but offers capable machinery on wheels at a competitive price.
