Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1What is the maximum trailer weight this tractor can pull?
The HOWO 371HP tractor truck has a GCW (Gross Combination Weight) of 40,000 kg standard. With the tractor curb weight of 8,800 kg, the maximum semi trailer weight including payload is approximately 31,200 kg. For heavier combinations, we recommend the 400HP or 430HP models.
Q2What fifth wheel height is standard?
The standard fifth wheel height is approximately 1,310 mm from the ground (unloaded). This is compatible with most international semi trailers. For specific coupling height requirements, we can adjust the fifth wheel mounting plate height.
Q3How often should the engine oil be changed?
Under normal operating conditions, engine oil and filter should be changed every 10,000 km or 250 hours. In dusty conditions or with heavy loads, reduce the interval to 7,500 km. Use CI-4 grade 15W-40 diesel engine oil for optimal protection.
Q4Can this truck use biodiesel fuel?
Yes, the WD615.47 engine can operate on biodiesel blends up to B20 (20% biodiesel) without modifications. For B100 pure biodiesel, we recommend upgraded fuel filters and more frequent fuel system maintenance. Please specify your fuel requirements when ordering.
