Truck selection guide
X5000 for construction: configuration selection
Start with the X5000 6×4 column for urban construction-waste transport and compare the 8×4 mining column only to understand the change in duty and equipment.
These are public manufacturer option columns, not individual vehicles, stock offers or confirmed combinations. An engine list, power range and wheelbase list in one column must not be combined into an invented specification.
Compare the published configuration columns
The selected columns expose relevant differences. Read the operating-duty notes below before treating any column as a candidate.

GVW and GCW identify the manufacturer's vehicle or combination weight columns. They are not payload figures, an allowable road load or a registration approval for your destination.
These columns do not establish a complete body specification, body volume or verified net payload. Confirm body dimensions, volume, installation weight and the resulting axle loads for the actual order.
Technical values retain the source wording and units. Slash-separated entries are options; hp and PS are not interchanged. A blank field does not mean a feature is absent.
What changes the selection
- The manufacturer describes the 6×4 column as short and medium distance urban construction-waste transport. The 8×4 comparison is described for mining engineering; it is not presented here as an equivalent construction recommendation.
- The 6×4 lists 385–400 hp and 3775+1400 mm wheelbase. The 8×4 lists 400–520 hp and has no wheelbase in this dataset. Both include manual/AMT options, without specifying one confirmed engine–gearbox pair.
Confirm before requesting a quotation
- Define the road/site split, loading method, body requirements and urban access constraints.
- Confirm whether the actual duty matches the urban reference; obtain a separate specification for different conditions.
- Request a complete body/chassis drawing, axle-load assessment and destination documentation before pricing.
The quotation must identify the exact model, chosen options, body or trailer, destination and supporting compliance documents. Price, availability and delivery time require a separate confirmation.
