Use Cases
Common use cases include long-distance container haulage and heavy-load construction transport where high horsepower and sustained range are required. This tractor/prime mover is also commonly specified for bulk freight, road-train, and heavy-equipment towing due to its high payload capability and optional heavy-axle configurations.

Detailed Description
The HOWO 400HP tractor typically uses a WP12 series 11.596 L engine (examples: WP12S400 / WP12.400), paired with a heavy-duty HW19710 transmission (commonly 10F+2R). With 400 HP (~298.3 kW) and typical torque in the upper range for WP12 family (configuration dependent), the truck delivers the pulling power needed for 35–60 tonne gross loads depending on axle and gearing choices. Advantages: strong engine output and robust transmission for sustained heavy haulage.
Configurations vary: common axle layouts are 6×4 (standard for heavy tractor tasks) with optional 8×4 or alternative axle setups, wheelbase packages (eg. 3225+1350 mm, 3500 mm variants), and tire choices from 12.00R20 to 295/80R22.5 depending on road or off-road spec. Fuel capacity is flexible (single 400L or dual 400L+400L), giving long operating range — a key capacity advantage for long hauls.
