THE VEHICLE
Overview
This Sinotruk HOWO 8x4 foam fire truck carries 20,900 L of water in a dedicated tank and 3,800 L of foam concentrate in a separate tank. The two agents support water-only suppression and foam application for suitable flammable-liquid incidents. A four-axle chassis carries the large tank body, while the crew cab seats four people. Fire pump flow and monitor range are confirmed with the final equipment configuration, so the discharge system can be matched to the intended response duty.
The truck has a 42,400 kg gross vehicle weight and a 17,150 kg curb weight. Two engine power configurations are available at 319 kW (433 hp) and 400 kW (541 hp), with a manual transmission. Overall dimensions are 11,990 × 2,550 × 3,650 mm. Tire specifications include 385/65R22.5 and 315/80R22.5 18PR sizes. The four axle ratings are 8,300, 8,300, 12,900 and 12,900 kg, matching the vehicle's 42,400 kg gross rating.
For industrial or petroleum-site response, the separated water and foam tanks let a brigade select the agent appropriate to the fire. Equipment compartments can carry the hose and tools specified by the operator, and the four-person cab brings a working crew to the scene. Confirm foam proportioning, pump output, monitor reach and local road approvals for the finished build before deployment. The stated water capacity excludes the foam volume.
