How about the Sinotruk Howo MAX tractor truck? Is it worth buying for card friends?

Howo MAX, the latest generation heavy truck product of China National Heavy Duty Truck, has been on trial sale for three months since August. So how is the operation situation? Is it worth buying for our card friends? Today I will take you to analyze this car.

"Trend MAX is a new and all-round way to create wealth with youth", this is the slogan of HOWO MAX. Judging from the slogan, this car is focused on youth and fashion. In fact, I learned from the manufacturer that the main audience for this car is those card lovers born in the 80s and 90s who pursue uniqueness.

So the question is, what is MAX and why is it called MAX? The word MAX was originally used in the naming of mobile phones, such as Xiaomi MAX, Apple ProMAX, etc. This is the first time it has been used on a heavy truck product. I think the manufacturer may use MAX to mean "maximization" - not only the appearance and interior of the vehicle have been upgraded and maximized, but also the benefits to customers have been maximized.

Next, I will discuss this heavy truck with you from aspects such as fuel consumption, reliability, comfort, safety, and weight.

We all know that since the switch to National VI, there are still many card lovers who are waiting and watching, hesitating and afraid to buy. One of the reasons is the fear that National VI fuel consumption will be too high. So what is the fuel consumption performance of this HOWO MAX?

First of all, HOWO MAX perfectly applies aerodynamics, the overall conical shape, and the smooth transition streamline design of the top cover, making the wind resistance coefficient of the vehicle less than 0.5, which is better than that of trucks on sale at home and abroad, and achieves fuel saving.

Secondly, HOWO MAX uses a new gold power chain. Let’s take a look at this picture. The Weichai engine with a thermal efficiency of over 50%, coupled with the world's first S-AMT16 gearbox, and MAN technology axles, can also save fuel in this part of the power chain.

Third, the system saves fuel. HOWO MAX’s smart shifting, big data applications, low rolling resistance tires, and air intake and thermal management systems can further save fuel consumption.

So theoretically, the fuel-saving effect of the entire vehicle should be pretty good. I have a friend who has purchased this car. He runs express delivery from Wuhan to Guangzhou, a long-distance highway. After one month, the fuel consumption of HOWO MAX is around 32.5L, which he feels is in line with his psychological expectations.

Evaluating the reliability of a car is inseparable from three major components.

In terms of engines, whether it is China National Heavy Duty Truck's customized Lanqing Weichai engine or MAN MC series engine, the B10 has a lifespan of up to 1.8 million kilometers. In terms of gearbox, the world's first S-AMT16 worry-free shifting technology has a transmission efficiency of up to 99.8% and an oil change of 200,000 kilometers. In terms of axles, it is the only MAN technology axle in China with its own oil filter. It is exclusively supplied by SKF in Germany and has international quality assurance. The transmission efficiency is as high as 98.6%.

In addition, China National Heavy Duty Truck has also promised customers in terms of service that the three major assemblies of the vehicle will only be replaced without repair, and the entire vehicle has a long warranty period of 48 months. Looking at the entire industry, this is unique to SINOTRUK. Why do we dare to make such a promise? It is because we have confidence in product reliability.

In addition to the three major assemblies, HOWO MAX uses internationally renowned components. All key valves in the vehicle use WABCO braking units, with a stability of up to 99%, safe and reliable; a 100,000-kilometer fuel primary filter, The new nano air filter element design, LED lights throughout the car, the only low-mounted metal bumper in China, etc., protect drivers and help them drive worry-free.

An excellent truck must not only be fuel-efficient and reliable, but also bring customers a car-like driving experience.

First of all, the appearance of HOWO MAX has been comprehensively upgraded, integrating traditional Chinese culture and creating a new national trend. The Xuanyuan bow design on the front face, the Great Wall grille, and the sharp-edged headlights all make this car highly recognizable.

After talking about the appearance, let’s look at the interior. The swooping, aerospace semi-enclosed instrument panel, wide berth, thick mattress, ventilated airbag seats, flat floor, viewing sunroof, 663L storage compartment, and aluminum alloy pedals all highlight the humanized design of this car. In addition, nano-filter air conditioners, 12.3-inch multimedia large screens, on-board WIFI, Bluetooth, 220V power supply, parking air conditioners, etc. allow customers to enjoy the ultimate entertainment services.

In addition, the cab of HOWO MAX uses the same Sachs shock absorption system as SCANIA.

We all know that SINOTRUK has always been known for its safety, and this continues on the MAX.

The design of the extra-large floor-to-ceiling front windshield + Y-direction curved surface features + large door glass makes the blind area of direct vision ahead only 3.6m. In terms of driving vision, HOWO MAX can be said to be the best in the country!
