Price of Chinese 3.5-Ton Trucks: Parts and Assembly
The price of Chinese 3.5-ton trucks ranges from VND 430 million for a standard 4m3 body to VND 540 million for a 6m2 body. The price difference primarily comes from engine power and body size. Most 3.5-ton trucks in Vietnam are imported as components from China and assembled at domestic factories such as JAC, Veam, Vinh Phat.
JAC Vietnam uses components from JAC Motors, ensuring stability and quality. Other manufacturers typically import knock-down kits from Chinese suppliers. Consequently, the component configurations of these assembled truck lines are quite similar in terms of engine, gearbox, and axles. If they have the same load capacity and body size, the prices of these truck lines will be comparable.
