Use Cases
Common use cases include long-distance ready-mix delivery to highway and large-site projects and continuous concrete supply for high-volume urban or infrastructure construction. This transit mixer (or cement mixer truck) is ideal where high capacity and stable discharge performance are required.

Detailed Description
The HOWO 380HP 8x4 concrete mixer (also referred to as a transit mixer or ready-mix truck) typically features a 380 HP D10-series engine (≈276 kW), heavy-duty transmission options (e.g., HW19710 / 10F/2R family), and wheelbase layouts such as 1800+3600+1350 mm for 8×4 models. Key advantages include high horsepower for sustained torque on gradients, a large geometric drum volume (example drum volumes 21–23.5 m³ on 14–16 m³ rated mixers) and robust chassis suited for heavy payloads.
In operation, rated mixing volumes vary (common ranges: 5.4–16 m³ depending on chassis and market), with geometric drum volumes larger than rated capacity to reduce residual. Typical curb weights and total mass depend on configuration — for example, an 8×4 export spec with a 5.5 m³ mixer may have curb weight ≈11,250 kg while large 8×4 models can have total mass up to ≈31,000 kg, giving an illustrative net payload capacity (total mass − curb weight) of ≈19,750 kg for the largest configs (actual payload varies by homologation and equipment). Advantages: strong torque & payload capability, low discharge residue (≤0.7%), and configurable emissions standards (China 4/5/6 or Euro III–VI depending on market).
