The Sinotruk HOWO T5G 240HP 6X4 Fuel Tanker Truck is engineered for flexible regional fuel distribution—ideal for shuttling diesel between small depots and rural gas stations, supplying industrial generators at remote construction sites, or delivering bulk fuel to farming communities. Powered by a Sinotruk MC07.24-60 diesel engine, it delivers 240 horsepower and 950 N·m of torque at 1200-1800 rpm, striking a smart balance between power and efficiency for 6X4 configurations. Paired with a 10-speed manual transmission, it handles mixed terrain effortlessly: cruising at 60-65km/h on provincial roads to meet delivery windows, while the 6X4 drive system and 4.875 rear axle ratio provide steady traction on muddy farm tracks or gravel access roads—critical for reaching off-grid destinations larger tankers can’t access.
What sets this tanker apart for regional work is its 18,000-liter aluminum alloy tank and safety-focused design. The tank’s lightweight yet corrosion-resistant material reduces overall vehicle weight by 8% compared to steel alternatives, boosting payload capacity while resisting fuel contamination. It features a dual-compartment option (9,000L each) for simultaneous delivery of different fuels (e.g., diesel and gasoline), with dedicated pumps and meters for accurate dispensing. Safety is paramount: an emergency shutoff valve stops flow instantly if the truck tilts beyond 30°, while anti-static grounding cables and flame arrestors prevent ignition risks—meeting global ADR standards for hazardous cargo. The tank’s streamlined shape also minimizes wind resistance, further improving fuel efficiency during highway stretches.
For small to mid-sized fuel distributors focused on profitability, the HOWO T5G delivers tangible advantages. Its 300L fuel tank covers 400+ km per fill—enough for daily rounds to 8-10 rural stations without refueling—and the MC07 engine’s optimized combustion keeps consumption at 25-27L/100km, 7% lower than comparable 6X4 tankers. Maintenance is straightforward: long-life oil filters (15,000km service intervals) and easily accessible components reduce downtime, while the cab’s practical design eases driver fatigue on regional runs. Features like an air-suspended seat, a 7-inch display with reverse camera (for tight depot maneuvers), and Bluetooth connectivity for coordinating deliveries make daily operations smoother. It’s the reliable, cost-effective solution for bridging the gap between central depots and hard-to-reach fuel consumers.
