FAW 8x4 17,700 L Milk Tank Truck with 463 hp Engine

The FAW 8x4 milk truck uses a 463 hp diesel engine on a four-axle chassis rated at 31,000 kg gross vehicle weight. Its payload is 17,765 kg, and the tank provides 17,700 L of effective storage. Overall dimensions are 11,820 × 2,550 × 3,680 mm, establishing the vehicle's size for collection-yard and receiving-point planning.

The milk tank is made from 304 food-grade stainless steel, with a mirror-polished inner surface and polyurethane foam insulation. A three-compartment arrangement can be specified for divided storage. Food-safe piping and quick-connect couplings provide the transfer interfaces, while manholes allow access for cleaning. Clean-in-place equipment is available as an option for dairies using that cleaning process.

Manual transmission, 12.00R20 18PR radial tires and a 2,100 + 4,500 + 1,350 mm wheelbase complete the chassis configuration. Engine displacement is above 8 L, and seating is available for up to five occupants. The truck can collect raw milk from farms or carry consolidated loads from collection stations to processing plants. Operators can select the compartment layout and cleaning equipment for the transfer routine used at those facilities.
