The Sinotruk HOWO TX 290-horsepower 4x2 6.8-meter box truck is designed to meet the needs of intercity medium-duty truck transportation and is an ideal choice for individual operators and small fleets.
Practical Exterior Design
This model features the signature HOWO front-end design, optimized for aerodynamics to reduce wind resistance and lower fuel consumption.
With an overall length of 9 meters and a height of 3.95 meters, it can navigate most standard height-restricted roads with ease, ensuring excellent maneuverability on both urban and rural routes.
Adequate and Comfortable Cabin Space
Featuring a semi-cab design with seating for three, it meets the transportation needs of crews traveling together.
The rear bunk area allows the driver to rest temporarily, eliminating the need to seek lodging for single-trip transport on short-to-medium routes and reducing travel costs.
Stable and Reliable Powertrain and Chassis
The 6-cylinder engine provides ample power reserves, capable of meeting the time-sensitive demands of fresh produce transport.
Paired with the Sinotruk HW11708STC 8-speed manual transmission, the shifting logic is intuitive, making it easy for experienced drivers to operate.
The rear axle features an MCJ09BGQ self-adjusting arm design with a 4.11 gear ratio, balancing fuel efficiency during high-speed cruising with strong low-speed acceleration, making it suitable for both flat and hilly terrain.
With a gross vehicle weight of 17 tons and a curb weight of just 6.88 tons, the compliant rated payload reaches 9.99 tons. The lightweight design ensures no empty runs, maximizing revenue per trip.
The tires are sized 275/80R22.5 18PR, offering high wear resistance and load-bearing capacity. The 4x2 drivetrain combined with a 5,000 mm wheelbase ensures greater maneuverability when turning on narrow roads or moving the vehicle during loading and unloading.
Cargo Body Suitable for Multiple Transport Scenarios
The standard 6.8-meter cargo body features a width of 2.47 meters and ample volume, making it convenient for loading and unloading bulk goods, fresh produce, perishables, building materials, and other categories.
This vehicle can be driven with a Class B2 or higher driver’s license. Its applications span intercity fresh produce transport, suburban general cargo delivery, and the transport of loose building materials, offering broad operational versatility.
Summary
This Sinotruk HOWO TX 6.8-meter box truck delivers adequate power, meets load-carrying regulations, and is suitable for a wide range of scenarios. For truckers with a reasonable budget engaged in medium- to short-distance intercity transport, it is a highly reliable choice.
