　　Minor tri-axle truck is 6X2 truck, also known as the "front four rear four" truck, with double steering shaft. Compared with 6x4 truck, it has lighter weight and lower cost of truck purchase and lower operating costs.

The ride comfort is not as good as that of a 6x4 truck, but the advantages still outweigh the disadvantages. In addition, the technology of the 6x2 truck has been continuously improved since then, and the sales volume has risen. (pictured is FAW 6x2 dump truck)
