Chinese Manufacturers And Their Old Habits: Not Satisfied With Copying Vehicles From Volkswagen And Ford, The Dayun V9 Truck Is The Flagrant Copy Of The Volvo FH
The Chinese industry has not abandoned some old habits, and after shamelessly copying the Ford F150 pickup, the Beetle, and the Volkswagen Kombi, it was the turn of Volvo to be caught by surprise with one of its icons being copied. In the automotive world, the Volvo FH is a true legend. With more than 1.4 million units sold since its launch 30 years ago, this Swedish truck has carved out a special place in the global market. However, something surprising happened recently: the Chinese manufacturer Dayun decided to create the Dayun V9, a truck that is clearly inspired by the iconic Volvo FH. Check out the bold production of these Chinese trucks.
The bold production of the Dayun V9, clearly inspired by the Volvo FH, reveals the ambition of the Chinese automotive industry to compete in the global truck market. While Dayun seeks to establish its presence, Volvo continues to stand out as an undisputed leader in the global truck market.

Similarities That Jump Out
The Dayun V9 is a clear imitation of the Volvo FH, especially in its exterior design. Upon observing the V9, we notice that elements such as the door handles, mirrors, and windshield are surprisingly similar to those of the Swedish truck. The V9’s front differs in some aspects, with straight bars contrasting with the honeycomb design of the Volvo FH, but there are still notable visual touchpoints, such as the headlight assembly.

The similarity does not end at the exterior. Upon entering the Dayun V9, the driver finds a dashboard with an enveloping profile that surprisingly resembles the design of the Volvo FH. However, the instrumentation is different, being fully digital. The multifunction steering wheel and the multimedia system screen also stand out as distinct elements compared to the FH.
Flagrant Copy Of The Truck Is Sold In China And Russia Strategically To Compete With Volvo Itself
Despite the obvious similarities, Volvo has no partnership with Dayun. The V9 is only available in the Chinese and Russian markets, raising questions about the strategy of the Chinese brand and its competition with Volvo in specific markets. The Dayun V9 is offered with three traction options: 4×2, 6×2, and 6×4, in addition to metallic and pneumatic suspension systems.
Dayun did not skimp on technology and resources. The V9 comes equipped with features such as start&stop, air conditioning, electric trio, and automatic activation of headlights and windshield wipers. The truck also has LED cabin lights, ASR and ESP systems, automatic emergency braking, and front collision warning. These features demonstrate Dayun’s effort to compete in the truck market.
Engine Performance: Chinese Copy Has Surprising Power Of 460 Hp And 215 Mkgf Of Torque
The engine of the Dayun V9 is the Weichai WP12.460E50 11.6-liter, a six-cylinder inline that generates an impressive 460 hp of power and 2,110 Nm of torque. For export, Dayun offers the Cummins Euro 6 with 510 hp. Both engines can be combined with the Fast Gear automated transmission of 16 speeds, with the selector positioned similarly to Volvo FH’s I-Shift system.
