LHD mainly suits Africa, Central Asia, Middle East and South America; RHD mainly suits Southeast Asia, Australia and Commonwealth regions.
Q4: How to choose Euro 2 / Euro 3 / Euro 5 versions?
Euro 2 mechanical injection version adapts to areas with moderate fuel quality and simpler maintenance conditions, but recommended diesel grade shall still be followed, severely off-spec fuel is prohibited. Euro 3 and Euro 5 electronic versions meet high-level environmental-protection requirements with fuel-saving and eco-friendly performance.
Q5: What working conditions is each horsepower version suitable for?
380HP(Euro2) for short-haul municipal water-sprinkling & water-supply tasks; 400HP(Euro3/Euro5) for medium-distance construction-site water transportation; 430HP(Euro3/Euro5) high-torque version for high-intensity field engineering operation on mountainous and steep-slope roads.
Q6: What are the core advantages of this model?
Equipped with reinforced 6×4 three-axle heavy-duty 2-type chassis, it achieves 25-ton compliant GVW and high stability. Mature six-cylinder powertrain delivers sufficient power and high operational availability, low failure rate.
