Reviewing and introducing the Photon H5 tractor, an assembled product of Iran Khodro Diesel, which is one of the serious options for buyers among Chinese tractors.

In the last few years, with the expansion of the scope of activities of Chinese car manufacturers in the Iranian market, we have seen the presence of many Chinese brands in the market. Foton entered the Iranian market with Iran Khodro Diesel in the 1990s as a commercial sub-set of the Bike Group. Now, in addition to Iran Khodro Diesel, it also cooperates with Bahman Group and Saipa Diesel. But the Photon Aoman EST-A was unveiled by Photon in 2016, and in 1401, Iran Khodro unveiled and launched a 460-horsepower model of this killer. And in 1403, the upgraded version of the Photon H5 with a 490 horsepower engine and some improvements was introduced. Of course, it is worth mentioning that the Photon H5 is the Bahman Empower BD500 of the Bahman group, and the differences between these two products will be mentioned below.

In the front view, the large dimensions and the style of the internal design of the lights indicate the old design of the Photon H5. Fog lights are also located in the lowest part of the front view. The front window has large dimensions, most of which is made up of matte silver and chrome plastics, and in addition, aerodynamic flaps and numerous volumes will be visible in the front view. There are no special details on the roof of the Photon H5 and only the position lights are visible. It should also be noted that the Photon H5 is a killer with a tall roof.

In the side view, the mirrors have a simple design combined with black color. And on the side doors of Photon H5, the same style of lines and volumes used in the front view is used. In addition, there are patterns on the doors and side flaps. And in the rear view, the Photon H5 beard is installed in the rear part of the chassis. The dimensions of Photon H5, in order of length, width and height, include; 6285 x 2490 x 3900 mm and the distance between the two axles will be 3800 mm.

But an 11,824 cc Cummins turbocharger engine is responsible for providing the required power for the Photon H5. According to Photon, this engine has the ability to produce 490 horsepower and 2,300 Nm of torque, which is transmitted to the rear wheels by a 12-speed automatic gearbox (AMT) from the ZF Traxon series. Photon H5 tanks are aluminum type and have a capacity of 1000 liters, which provide an acceptable range of movement for this tractor. Also, the 85-liter AdBlue tank will control the emission level of the Photon H5.

In the front axle of Photon H5, the suspension system consists of a parabolic spring, with a shock absorber and a shock absorber, and the rear axle suspension is air-type, with four air cushions, along with a shock absorber and shock absorber. The brakes on both axles are double circuit disc type. And Photon H5 tires will be tubeless radial with 22.5 steel rims.

Inside the cabin of the Photon H5, the design of the doors is considered simple and economical, and the ergonomics and access to the tools on it will be suitable. The seats are of the inflatable type, the driver's seat with features such as; Heater, cooler and electric settings are included in several directions. The design of the steering wheel of the Photon H5 is in the form of four branches, which can be seen on the steering wheel of the cruise control and multimedia control keys, the cluster is also analog type with good readability and contrast. The design of the dashboard set is driver-oriented, in which many spaces can be seen. But the design style of the dashboard and the overall interior of the Photon H5 feel old and somewhat old fashioned. In the middle part, the gear change selector is placed, which does not have any padding in this part, so that the passengers' space is as comfortable as possible. In the back row and rest area of ​​Photon H5, according to the dimensions of this truck, the space provided will be suitable for passengers to rest.

As we mentioned at the beginning of the article, Photon Aoman EST-A or Photon H5 has been marketed by Bahman Group under the name Bahman Empower BD500, and the main differences between these two products include the following.

Photon H5 should be considered as a tractor with only suitable safety and comfort facilities, efficient technical forces and good after-sales services (compared to other competitors), which will also have several weaknesses compared to this tractor. Some of the weaknesses of the Photon H5 are things like being offered in the commodity exchange with an unreasonable price and limited number, the lack of some safety and comfort facilities, the old design compared to some competitors, etc. But the fact that the Foton brand is known in the Iranian market and having the support of Iran Khodro Diesel can be the winning card of this product against other competitors. Products such as; Bahman Power BD500, Pilsan 480, Dima, Dafran H7 Newface, Dongfeng KX-520, Shekmoto X5000 and... They are among the competitors of Photon H4 in the market.
