The Sinotruk HOWO-T7H LNG tractor truck is rapidly becoming the first choice for many users in the heavy truck market, particularly for those considering a switch to LNG-powered vehicles. There are several compelling reasons why this truck is gaining popularity:
Environmental Compliance:
The HOWO-T7H meets the stringent national six emission standards, making it an environmentally friendly option. As businesses face increasing pressure to comply with environmental regulations, this truck provides an effective solution without compromising performance.
Fuel Efficiency:
Powered by the MAN MT13 engine, the HOWO-T7H offers impressive fuel efficiency, with a gas consumption rate of 28-32 KG per 100 kilometers—over 10% lower than competing models. This contributes significantly to reduced operating costs and a longer operational range, making it a highly economical choice for long-haul trucking.
Durability and Performance:
The MT13 engine delivers between 400-520 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2400 N·m, ensuring it can handle demanding transportation needs. With an engine lifespan of up to 1.5 million kilometers and oil change intervals of 50,000 kilometers, the truck is built for long-term reliability and reduced maintenance costs.
Safety Features:
The T7H cab is designed with durability and safety in mind. The steel frame with 1.3 mm thickness ensures it can withstand impact better than many competitors. The inclusion of an aluminum connecting frame that breaks during a rear-end collision adds another layer of protection by allowing the cab to shift backward, further enhancing driver safety. Additionally, anti-collision beams on the doors provide extra protection in case of an accident.
Comfort and Convenience:
The T7H doesn’t just focus on performance; it also prioritizes driver comfort. Its four-point airbag suspension system ensures a smooth ride, while the spacious, luxury flat-floor cabin with 980 mm “double” sleepers makes long-haul trips more comfortable.
Lower Operating Costs:
With its low fuel consumption, reliable engine with extended service intervals, and long-lasting components, the HOWO-T7H can offer significant savings over time, making it a financially attractive option for fleet owners and operators.
Given these advantages—especially its combination of low operating costs, reliability, safety, and driver comfort—it’s no surprise that the HOWO-T7H LNG tractor truck is becoming the preferred choice for users in the LNG-heavy truck segment.
