Ukrainian haulage in 2026 is a reconstruction problem: quarries are reopening to feed aggregate into rebuilding sites, mines are returning to production, and the trucks doing that work are specified by body survival, suspension durability and the paperwork that mine contracts demand. Two Auman GTL 6×4 400 hp mining dump trucks are listed in the product data for this market — one declaring Euro V, the other declaring China V as a Euro V equivalent — and they differ in documentation quality as much as in specification.
The specification table comes first here, because these two listings sit at opposite ends of the documentation spectrum in the same family: one declares tyres, gearing, a coverage list and the Euro V paperwork; the other declares curb weight, suspension leaf counts — and, on the current extraction, its gearbox, final drive and tyres as well. Read together they show what a buyer can verify, what must be asked, and where the $7,761 price gap most plausibly lives.

The Euro V unit declares: an ISGe5-400 engine from Beijing Foton Cummins at 11,800 cc, a 12JSDX240TA iron-cased gearbox with a 5.26 final drive, 12.00R20 16PR drive-pattern tyres (eleven), a 350-litre aluminium alloy tank, a front-9 / rear-12 leaf-spring layout, and a coverage list naming Kazakhstan, Central Asia and Ukraine. The China V unit declares: the same ISGe5-400 family, a Fast 12JSDX240TA lever-shift gearbox with a 5.26 final drive, 315/80R22.5 18PR drive-pattern tyres, a curb weight of 14,500 kg, the same front-9 / rear-12 leaf layout with stabiliser and shock absorber, a GTL-2490 mid-long body with semi-floating cab suspension and electric cab lift, a 220 Ah cold-region battery and a 350-litre tank.
Both are 6×4 at 400 hp on 25,000 kg GVW with a 3,825 + 1,350 mm wheelbase. The difference in style matters less than it looks: both listings now give you the running gear and the tyres. The Euro V unit adds the coverage list and the iron-cased gearbox; the China V unit adds the weights, the cab equipment and the cold-region battery. What remains undeclared on each — curb weight on the Euro V unit, the coverage list and body steel on the China V unit — is exactly what a mine contract will ask about.
One listing declares Euro V. The other declares "China V (Euro V equivalent)" — the manufacturer's own equivalence claim, not a European certification. For reconstruction work funded by international clients, development banks or foreign contractors, that distinction is not pedantry: vendor approval processes frequently require an EU-standard certificate, and an equivalence claim may or may not satisfy them.
If your contracts or clients will ask for emissions documentation, the Euro V declaration is the safer paperwork and the equivalence claim is a question for the dealer: what certificate can the truck actually produce, and will your client accept it? On the data, that question is worth more than the $7,761 price gap — a truck that fails vendor approval earns nothing on the contract it was bought for.
Both trucks declare the same structural layout: 9-leaf front and 12-leaf rear leaf springs, with the China V unit adding the stabiliser bar, shock absorber, semi-floating cab suspension and electric cab lift in its cab description. That is a working specification for rough reconstruction sites — the semi-floating cab in particular takes the sting out of the rutted haul roads that rebuilding sites generate.
Both units declare their tyres: the Euro V unit lists 12.00R20 16PR in a drive-tread pattern, eleven of them, while the China V unit lists 315/80R22.5 18PR in a drive pattern. For abrasive quarry work the tyre is a consumable that decides uptime, and the two sizes are not interchangeable — confirm the size, ply rating and regional availability for whichever unit you order, because a truck waiting on tyres is not working. Body-steel specification — bottom plate thickness and grade — is undeclared on both, and on abrasive aggregate that is the difference between a body that survives a season and one that plates out.
The listings price at $57,293 for the Euro V unit and $65,054 for the China V unit — $7,761 apart, with the cheaper truck holding the stronger paperwork and the declared running gear, and the dearer truck holding the declared weights and the more completely described cab. On the data, the Euro V unit is the better-documented machine at the lower price.
The sensible buyer's reading: shortlist the Euro V unit, and treat the China V unit's premium as a question — what configuration, body or equipment does the $7,761 buy, and will its equivalence claim satisfy your clients? Ask both questions in writing before the order; on reconstruction duty the answers decide which truck keeps working when the client audits the fleet.
Euro V is the European standard declaration. China V is the domestic Chinese standard, and the listing's equivalence claim is the manufacturer's own — not a European certification. If your contracts require an EU-standard certificate, confirm what document the truck can actually produce before ordering.
They document different things, and less asymmetrically than it first appears: both declare gearbox, ratio and tyres. The Euro V unit adds the coverage list; the China V unit adds the curb weight, suspension leaf counts, cab equipment and the cold-region battery. The Euro V unit does it at $7,761 less.
Both declare 9-leaf front and 12-leaf rear leaf springs, and the China V unit adds a semi-floating cab with electric lift — a working specification for rutted haul roads. Body-steel specification is undeclared on both; confirm it for abrasive aggregate duty.
The listings price at $57,293 and $65,054. The data does not itemise the gap — configuration, body or equipment differences the listings do not describe. Ask the dealer to explain it in writing; the answer usually decides the order.
Body-steel specification and fuel consumption on both, and the coverage list on the China V unit. Body steel decides body survival on abrasive sites — get it in writing for your exact configuration.
