Bus and truck vehicle tools are difficult to meet the daily needs of users
Recently, a reporter was on a business trip to Hebei when the passenger vehicle they were in broke down midway. The driver’s master pulled out a beautifully crafted tool for repairs. When asked if it was an original factory tool, he explained that it wasn’t — it had been purchased later. He mentioned that the original tools had gone missing over time. Upon returning from the trip, the reporter conducted an investigation into the on-board tools of 17 brands of passenger cars and trucks.
In terms of passenger vehicles, the report revealed a wide variety of tools, but not all met user needs. The reporter examined 11 major brands and found that each came with multiple types of tools: wrenches, screwdrivers, tire-changing casings, crowbars, jacks, and warning signs. Despite the variety, there was a noticeable similarity across the brands. It's worth noting that most manufacturers include these tools in a kit, though the quality and design varied significantly.
Some models featured a simple blue tin box measuring around 40 cm long and 20 cm wide, divided into two layers. Inside were small tools like screwdrivers and various wrenches. In contrast, the Dongfeng Nissan Diesel Coach had a more refined design, with a foldable top layer that separated into two sections once opened, making all the tools easily visible.
However, larger tools such as jacks, tire irons, and crowbars were often stored in cardboard boxes inside the luggage compartment. This method is not ideal, as the boxes tend to break over time, scattering tools throughout the cabin. A notable example was Suzhou Jinlong, where the toolbox was just a cardboard box. One owner at Muxiyuan Station in Beijing was clearly frustrated, as the box was placed under the seats, not only unattractive but also inconvenient for passengers.
Some manufacturers, however, have made efforts to improve this. Yutong, for instance, used a wooden box to store larger tools, even though the craftsmanship was basic. This design was much more practical for users.
On the truck side, the issue was quite different. Most on-board tools were too small for the job. Although the dimensions matched, the size of the tools didn't match the strength required for heavy-duty tasks. Many truck users reported that their tools twisted or cracked after just a few uses, especially with heavy trucks. Users of brands like FAW, Dongfeng, and Sinotruk all shared similar concerns.
During the investigation, the reporter noticed that almost all heavy-duty trucks had what they called “treasure chests†— small tin boxes welded to the chassis beneath the cabin. These were used to store the original tools, which many users had moved from the original toolbox. Some said the boxes were either pre-installed or added later by themselves.
For light trucks, the reporter visited users of Foton Ao Ling and Nanqi Yuejin. The tools in these vehicles were stored in simple woven bags, without any dedicated toolboxes. At the Beijing Green Splendid Land Agricultural Products Market, the reporter saw that the tools in the Yuejin Light Truck were similar to those in passenger cars, stored in a blue woven bag. However, the user complained that the tools were too small, particularly the jack, which couldn’t lift the vehicle when loaded. (Reporter: Yan Liang)
