The SITRAK 4X2 C7H Tractor Truck is a high-efficiency logistics vehicle designed for express highway transportation, combining the robust reliability of MAN-derived technology with a lightweight chassis configuration to maximize fuel economy and speed.

The Strategic Value of the Howo C7H 4X2 Tractor Truck

    The defining characteristic of the C7H series is its heritage. Produced by Sinotruk under an exclusive partnership with MAN, this truck utilizes the MC11 engine and chassis technology that mirrors European standards. For fleet owners, this means acquiring a vehicle with a B10 lifespan of 1.5 million kilometers at a fraction of the cost of imported European brands.

    Opting for the 4x2 drive configuration offers distinct advantages for specific logistics routes. Unlike the heavier 6x4 models, the 4x2 layout has fewer moving parts and less frictional loss in the drivetrain. This reduction in curb weight and mechanical resistance translates directly into lower fuel consumption, making it the premier choice for long-distance transportation of standard-weight containers or volume cargo on paved highways.

    Furthermore, the 400 horsepower output is perfectly balanced for this axle configuration. The MC11 engine delivers 1900Nm of torque, which, when paired with the 3.36 rear axle ratio, allows the vehicle to maintain high cruising speeds (up to 101 km/h) effortlessly. This ensures time-sensitive deliveries, such as express mail or cold chain goods, reach their destination on schedule.

Key Features of the Sitrak C7H Tractor Truck

    Advanced Cabin Comfort

    The C7H boasts a high-roof cabin with a flat floor design, providing ample interior space for the crew. It is equipped with four-point air suspension and an air-cushioned driver's seat, which drastically reduces fatigue during long shifts. The double-seal insulation ensures a quiet environment, comparable to a passenger car.

    ZF Transmission System

    This model is fitted with the ZF16S2230 TO 16-speed manual gearbox. ZF transmissions are globally recognized for their precision and durability. The 16 gears provide a wide ratio spread, allowing the user to select the perfect gear for any speed or incline, ensuring the engine remains in its most efficient RPM range.

    Optimized Chassis Design

    The chassis features a lightweight design without compromising structural integrity. By using high-strength steel and optimizing the frame layout, the curb weight is kept at just 6.8 tons. This allows for a higher payload capacity within legal limits, maximizing the revenue per trip.

How to Select a Reliable Supplier

    When importing heavy machinery like the SITRAK 4X2 C7H Tractor Truck, the vendor's reliability is as important as the product quality. Consider these factors:

  • Verification: Ensure the supplier is a legitimate business entity with a track record of exporting Sinotruk products.

  • Inspection Protocols: A trustworthy supplier will offer photos and videos of the specific VIN before shipping to verify the truck's condition.

  • Logistics Experience: Choose a partner who understands how to secure trucks on flat racks or navigate RO-RO schedules to prevent shipping delays.

  • Communication: The supplier should be responsive and transparent about lead times and potential customs requirements in your country.

Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What is the typical fuel consumption of the 4x2 C7H?

    Fuel consumption depends on the load and driving style, but the 4x2 C7H is generally 10-15% more fuel-efficient than a comparable 6x4 tractor on highway routes due to lower weight and friction.

    2. Is parts availability a concern outside of China?

    No. Since the Sitrak C7H uses MAN engine technology and ZF transmissions, many critical components are interchangeable with standard international parts. Additionally, Sinotruk has an extensive global parts network.

    3. Can this truck handle rough terrain?

    The 4x2 configuration is optimized for paved roads and highways. For off-road construction sites or muddy mining areas, we recommend looking at our 6x4 models which offer better traction.

    4. How long does shipping take?

    After the order is confirmed and the truck is prepared, ocean freight times vary by destination. Typically, shipping to Africa or Southeast Asia takes 20-30 days, while South America may take 35-45 days.

    5. Do you offer warranty support?

    We provide warranty support for main components (engine, gearbox, axle) on new vehicles. For specific terms regarding your region, please contact our sales team.
