Sinotruk HOWO 430HP Tractor Truck Heavy 6×4 Semi-Trailer Tractor China

Sinotruk HOWO 6x4 tractor, 430HP WP12 engine, HW76 cab and triple-layer 8+8+8 frame.

Overview

What This Trailer Is Built For

A Sinotruk HOWO 6x4 tractor unit specified for pulling heavy semi-trailers over long distances and difficult terrain. The WP12.430E201 engine delivers 430HP through an HC16 transmission to VGD95 front and driving axles, on a locally reinforced triple-layer 8+8+8/300 frame. The HW76 new front face cab, Bosch steering, reinforced front and rear multiple-leaf suspension and a 400L fuel tank make up the standard package. Options include an HW197140 speed changing box, intercooler protection device, astern buzzer and fire extinguisher.

Key Benefits

Comparison

How It Compares

Compared WithHow This Model Differs
HOWO 400HP tractor430HP gives more reserve on grades and with heavier trailers; the 400HP unit costs less where routes are flat.
4x2 tractorThe 6x4 layout puts drive through two rear axles for traction on unsealed and steep ground; a 4x2 is lighter and cheaper on paved roads.
Buying a tractor separatelyOrdering the tractor with the trailer lets us match the fifth wheel, kingpin and brake connections in one specification.
