CLW Group, a specialized vehicle manufacturer based in Hubei province, has announced the export of five FAW J6L bitumen sprayer trucks to Libya. The vehicles are expected to support ongoing road construction and rehabilitation projects across the North African nation, where infrastructure rebuilding remains a key priority.
The five units are built on the FAW J6L chassis platform, configured as 4x2 left-hand drive models. Each truck combines a heavy-duty chassis with a dedicated asphalt spraying system, making it suitable for applications ranging from highway paving to urban road maintenance and airport runway resurfacing.
The FAW J6L chassis features a single-row cabin with one sleeper, air conditioning, electric windows, and a mechanical suspension driver's seat, ensuring operator comfort during extended work shifts.
The vehicle is powered by a 350 HP diesel engine with 8.6L displacement and 1500 N·m of torque, paired with a 10-speed manual transmission offering 10 forward and 2 reverse gears. This combination provides sufficient power for both highway travel and low-speed spraying operations.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Overall Dimensions | 8800 × 2500 × 3200 mm |
| Wheelbase | 4800 mm |
| Gross Vehicle Weight | 18,000 kg |
| Loading Capacity | 11,200 kg |
| Max Speed | 110 km/h |
| Tires | 12.00R20 (6+1 spare) |
The rear-mounted asphalt distribution unit is engineered for precision application across a range of paving materials. It is designed to handle hot asphalt, SBS modified asphalt, and emulsified asphalt.
| Parameter | Specification |
|---|---|
| Tank Volume | 10 cubic meters (10,000 liters) |
| Tank Material | High-grade carbon steel |
| Insulation | 50mm rock wool layer (≤12°C loss over 8 hours) |
| Outer Cladding | 1mm stainless steel plate |
| Spraying Width | 4.5 meters |
| Spraying Volume | 0.1 – 3.2 L/m² |
| Operating Speed | 2 – 16 km/h |
The insulation layer helps maintain asphalt temperature during transport between the plant and job site, reducing the need for reheating. The stainless steel exterior provides added protection against corrosion and impact.
The vehicle features a centralized control panel that simplifies operation for field crews. Key controls include:
Power and power take-off (PTO) indicator lights
Manual and automatic operation modes
Spray start/stop function
Spray volume adjustment
Nozzle width control
Circulation function for consistent asphalt flow
The interface supports ease of use for local operators, while the PTO system drives the hydraulic pump that powers the spraying mechanism independently of vehicle movement when needed.
Libya's road infrastructure sector has seen increasing activity in recent years, with a focus on rebuilding highways, urban streets, and connections between major cities. These CLW Group asphalt distributors are well-suited for such projects through:
Balanced capacity: The 10m³ tank allows for extended spraying cycles without frequent refills
Maneuverability: The 4x2 configuration provides access to job sites with limited space
Material flexibility: Compatibility with multiple asphalt types supports varied construction methods
Temperature management: Insulation and spray system design maintain consistency in warm climates
