Use Cases
Commonly used on construction sites, quarries and road-building projects, this HOWO 8×4 excels at transporting heavy aggregates and large loads thanks to its large cargo volume and strong axle ratings. Also popular as a fleet tipper for contractors who need a reliable heavy-duty dump/tipper truck with options for right/left-hand drive and tailored body design.

Detailed Description
-
Powertrain & performance — The truck is typically fitted with a CNHTC WD615 family diesel engine rated around 371–375 HP paired with the HW19710 10-speed gearbox, delivering strong torque for loaded climbs and highway runs. This combination supports the 8×4 layout and long-wheelbase chassis needed for high payloads. (Advantage: proven WD615 engine; heavy-duty gearbox; high torque for loaded operation.)
-
Load capacity & cargo body — Typical factory cargo bodies for the ZZ3317N3567W 8×4 are around 7.3–7.5 m long × 2.3 m wide × 1.5–1.7 m high (≈ 28–31 m³), built from 8mm bottom / 6–12mm sides steel, giving a practical payload class ≈ 40 tonnes for most road-legal configurations. Bodies are available in multiple shapes (U-shape, rectangular) and can be sized or reinforced per customer requirement. (Advantage: high volume → fewer trips; customizable box size and thickness.)
-
Chassis, axles & durability — The 8×4 HOWO uses heavy front HF9 axles (each ~9t) and tandem HC16 rear axles (each ~16t) with central double reduction and differential locks, heavy-duty leaf springs and optional upgraded tires (12.00R20). Manufacturing processes include full-frame welding, payload testing and quality painting/anti-corrosion finishing; vehicles are shipped with secure packaging and standard pre-delivery checks. (Advantage: reinforced axles & suspension; tested frame and professional paint/packaging.)
