Oil Transportation SINOTRUK HOWO TX 6X4 400Hp Fuel Tanker For Djibouti

A customer in Djibouti contacted us via email, expressing a desire to purchase a tanker truck suitable for long-distance transport and prioritizing excellent operating economics. We recommended the SINOTRUK HOWO 6X4 400HP 20000Liters Fuel Tanker Truck, which perfectly met his needs. He was very satisfied and quickly purchased the truck from us.

The customer runs a fuel business locally, and this truck is mainly used for transporting diesel or gasoline on highways. Due to the long distances, the truck needs a long driving range and also wants to be as comfortable as possible to prevent driver fatigue. Furthermore, because the customer uses the truck frequently for work, they want to reduce maintenance and refueling costs. This is precisely where the HOWO TX series truck excels. Its cab is very comfortable and intelligent, and its lightweight frame paired with a WEICHAI engine offers excellent fuel economy and maintenance-free operation.

After communicating with the customer, we ultimately provided him with the WEICHAI WP12S400E201 engine. It's an inline six-cylinder engine that offers excellent fuel economy in the commonly used 1000-1400rpm range, with a minimum of 185g/(kW*h), a range perfectly suited for highway cruise control. Since the customer's road conditions weren't consistently good, engine power was also crucial. This engine delivers a high output of 400 horsepower, allowing the truck to handle hill climbs and rough terrain with ease.

Besides its performance, the truck's safety features are also crucial. Its tank is made of high-quality carbon steel, and the interior features baffles and anti-surge baffles to reduce the impact of fuel on the tank. A breather valve is also installed to prevent excessive pressure on the tank caused by the expansion and contraction of the internal fuel due to temperature. An emergency shut-off valve is also included to quickly cut off the fuel supply in emergency situations.
