Key features

  • Twin-countershaft architecture splits torque over two parallel shafts — proven in FAST's long-running heavy-truck program.
  • 8 to 16 speeds across the family, so the same installation envelope covers medium-duty 850 N·m units and 3000 N·m long-haul tractors.
  • 16-speed top units use a 2×4×2 layout with helical auxiliary gearing and short-stroke synchronizers for quieter shifting.
  • Common clutch housing and PTO interfaces with Weichai diesel engines, including the WP10H and WP13 ratings.
  • Spare parts and service support follow the FAST commercial-vehicle parts network.

Applications

Long-haul tractors Dump & construction trucks Vocational vehicles Buses & coaches

The 8JS line suits medium-duty trucks and buses; the 12JSD line covers the heavy long-haul band; the 16JSDX200T/240T is the top-grade manual for the heaviest tractor and vocational duties where a wide ratio spread matters.

Customization

Available on request: ratio selection and PTO position, clutch and flywheel-housing matching to the chosen Weichai engine, output-shaft and drive-flange options, retarder-ready variants, and export parts lists with workshop documentation.
