The BAIC BJ M2 (type approval BJ1030V6JB5-DA) is a robust 3.5 t light truck purpose-engineered for the Gambia market and wider West Africa logistics operations. Powered by a proven Anhui Quanchai 4A2-88C53 diesel engine with high-pressure common-rail injection (65 kW rated power, 240 N·m peak torque) and mated to a reliable 5-speed manual transmission (5G28), this dependable diesel light truck is built to thrive in hot, humid coastal climates while keeping running costs low for owner-operators.
Its compact chassis (5005×1725×1945 mm, 2850 mm wheelbase) hosts a 3300×1710×1710 mm FRP (fiberglass) cargo box — twin rear doors, single side door, aluminum tread plate floor and stainless steel door locks — making it an ideal 4×2 cargo truck for daily market delivery, inter-city freight and small business delivery. The banjo-type rear axle (BJ121) with 2.5 t rated load and a 4.33 final ratio delivers the strength needed for rural hauls, while front disc brakes, rear drum brakes, central drum parking brake, vacuum booster and ABS provide dependable stopping power.
Engineered for African commercial use, the BJ M2 combines a non-disconnecting tubular-beam front axle (1.5 t), riveted & welded frame (770/620 mm outer width), and leaf-spring suspension (3 / 5+2) with telescopic shock absorbers to handle mixed road conditions. ABS comes standard and air conditioning is optional — giving buyers a flexible, cost-efficient commercial truck for agricultural produce transport, urban delivery, rural logistics and cross-border West Africa logistics across the Gambia market and neighboring ECOWAS corridors.
