Use Cases
Common use cases include long-haul bulk fuel transport between refineries and terminals, and mobile refueling / depot deliveries for fleets and construction sites where reliable high-capacity supply is required. As a fuel tanker / oil transport truck, it performs well in highway logistics and regional distribution networks thanks to its high horsepower and large tank capacity.

Detailed Description
The HOWO 8×4 fuel tanker (400HP / 440HP) is built on a heavy-duty chassis with multi-axle support to satisfy high GVW and axle-load regulations. Typical engines include WP/WP12 or HOWO high-power variants delivering 400–440 HP; transmission choices are commonly 10F+2R units with PTO options for pump operation. The tanker is offered with aluminum (AL5083) or carbon steel (Q235/Q345) tank options and compartment layouts ranging from 4 to 8 sections, enabling balanced load distribution and legal axle loads — robust engine performance, flexible compartmentization, and compliant materials are highlighted benefits.
Second paragraph: Capacity and payload are configurable — standard designs cluster around 25,000–30,000 L (some 30m³ variants) with design payloads and GVW scaled to match local road regulations (typical GVW ~31,000 kg; payload ~30–40 t depending on spec). Optional features commonly available include emergency shutoff valves, API/EN standard manholes, anti-slosh baffling, oil-gas recovery systems, and mobile refueling equipment — these options make the vehicle suitable both as a bulk fuel delivery tanker and a mobile service/refueling truck. High capacity, regulation-ready build, and operation-ready safety features are the selling points.
