The BAIC BJ M1 (type approval BJ1030V4JV2-BH) is a compact 2.5 t N1-class mini truck purpose-engineered for the Gambia market and wider West Africa logistics operations. Unlike traditional diesel light trucks, the M1 is powered by a proven Harbin Dong'an DAM15R 1.498 L gasoline engine with multi-point electronic fuel injection — delivering 82 kW of rated power and 142 N·m of peak torque for spirited, fuel-efficient daily operation in markets where gasoline is widely available and more affordable than diesel.
Its compact semi-load-bearing chassis (4650×1680×1920 mm, 2400 mm wheelbase) and optional 2820×1560×360 mm flatbed cargo box make the M1 an ideal gasoline mini truck for tight urban streets, marketplace alleys and short-haul market delivery. The McPherson independent front suspension, electric power steering (EPS), ABS+EBD, front disc brakes, rear drum brakes and wheel-side hand parking brake provide car-like driving comfort and dependable stopping performance for small business delivery and inter-city urban delivery.
Despite its compact footprint, the M1 is engineered for African commercial use: tube-axle rear axle (1.5 t rated load, final ratio 4.778), 5-leaf rear leaf-spring suspension with telescopic shock absorber, 175R14LT tires, LED daytime running lights and front fog lamps for visibility. Convenient features — power windows, central door lock, remote key, radio head unit and optional air conditioning — bring passenger-car refinement to this versatile 4×2 cargo truck. A practical and cost-efficient commercial truck for market delivery, small business delivery, urban delivery and West Africa logistics across the Gambia market and neighboring ECOWAS corridors.
