1. The Financial Advantage of a Refurbished Prime Mover

Purchasing a brand-new 420HP prime mover requires significant upfront investment. By choosing a high-quality second hand Howo truck head, you can expand your fleet rapidly while maintaining healthy cash flow. Because Sinotruk vehicles are known for their mechanical longevity, a well-maintained D12 engine will easily serve for hundreds of thousands of kilometers. This makes our used tractor units the preferred choice for long-haul logistics spanning from coastal ports to inland mining hubs.

2. Unleashing Towing Power: The 420HP D12 Engine

The heart of this robust 10-wheeler is the D12.42 engine. Delivering a massive 420 horsepower, it generates high torque at low RPMs. This is critical when you are pulling a 50-ton fuel tanker or hauling heavy construction equipment on a lowboy trailer up a steep gradient.

Key Powertrain Benefits:

• Proven Durability: The D12 series is renowned globally for its resistance to overheating and its ability to handle varying diesel qualities in emerging markets.
• HW19710 Transmission: The 10-speed manual gearbox ensures smooth shifting and optimal power distribution across the 6x4 driving axles.

• Fuel Economy: Even as a high-horsepower unit, the engine's optimized combustion chamber delivers an excellent fuel-to-tonnage ratio.
