HOWO 4x2 1.8 t CNG Dropside Truck

This HOWO 4x2 dropside truck uses CNG fuel and a 4,150 mm open deck for urban freight that benefits from side access. Its rated payload is 1.8 t, while the 4,495 kg gross and 2,565 kg curb figures leave enough margin for that rating. Its 400 mm side boards are lower than a stake cage, so boxed goods and light equipment can be handled from the side or rear.

The vehicle has a six-speed manual gearbox, 149 PS engine rating and six tires. Overall dimensions are 5,995 × 2,200 × 2,600 mm, and the deck measures 4,150 × 2,100 × 400 mm. Two tire sizes are available; the cab seats three, and rear protection clearance is 450 mm. The 3,280 mm wheelbase is available; confirm the selected wheelbase on the order.

CNG power gives this truck a different operating profile from otherwise similar diesel dropside models, especially for fleets with gas refueling access. The open body is suited to local building supplies, packaged freight and service equipment where a covered van is unnecessary. Loads still need restraint against the side boards, and the 1.8 t rating must be checked against the final body, passengers and gas-system configuration. Driving range should be confirmed for the chosen gas-cylinder configuration before route planning.
