FAQ
Q1: Is the HOWO 8×4 bitumen tanker an original factory export model?
It is an officially designated export 8×4 dangerous-goods bitumen-tanker model of SINOTRUK HOWO series, built on brand-new original dangerous-goods heavy-duty chassis. Bitumen tank, thermal-oil heating system and full set of safety accessories are assembled complying with overseas dangerous-goods export standards. There is no domestic-market re-modification or non-standard refit, fully complying with global dangerous-goods vehicle access regulations.
Q2: Are spare parts universal for all versions?
All versions share the same four-axle heavy-duty dangerous-goods chassis, dual rear axles, gearbox and body parts, with only slight differences in engine accessories. Bitumen tank and thermal-oil heating pipeline assemblies are interchangeable for all horsepower variants, ensuring convenient global maintenance and high spare-parts popularity.
Q3: Is custom service available?
Original factory LHD/RHD customization, Euro 2 / Euro 3 / Euro 5 emission selection, bitumen tank volume, multi-compartment option, heating configuration(independent burner, auto temperature control), tank lining material and body-color customization are supported. LHD suits Africa, Central Asia, Middle East and South America; RHD 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 poor fuel quality and simple maintenance conditions with low failure rate; Euro 3 and Euro 5 electronic versions meet high environmental-protection requirements with fuel-saving and eco-friendly performance.
Q5: What working conditions is each horsepower version suitable for?
371HP(Euro2) for medium-haul bitumen transportation for road-construction projects; 400HP(Euro3/Euro5) for long-distance bitumen material transport; 430HP(Euro3/Euro5) high-torque version for high-intensity transport on mountainous and steep-slope construction sites.
Q6: What are the core advantages of this model?
Equipped with reinforced 8×4 four-axle heavy-duty dangerous-goods chassis, it achieves 31-ton compliant GVW and high stability. Mature six-cylinder powertrain delivers sufficient power and high operational availability, low failure rate. The tank adopts closed-loop thermal-oil heating plus multi-layer thermal insulation to realize constant-temperature bitumen storage & transportation, with complete export-grade dangerous-goods safety protection. Multiple OEM customization options, globally-available spare-parts and low maintenance cost bring outstanding cost-performance for overseas road-construction liquid bitumen dangerous-goods transport.
