THE VEHICLE
Overview
This all-wheel-drive potable water tanker is intended for civil protection teams, relief agencies and utilities that must supply drinking water after floods, earthquakes or pipeline failures, when access roads are damaged or unpaved. Its 8,000 L stainless steel tank holds enough water for a small community's daily needs, and the 4x4 chassis lets the crew reach distribution points that heavier road tankers cannot.
The Dongfeng 4x4 chassis has a 3,950 mm wheelbase, overall dimensions of 7,430 × 2,550 × 2,900 mm and a gross vehicle weight of 14,000 kg, with axle ratings of 4.5 t front and 9 t rear. A 5.9 L diesel engine delivers 125 kW (170 hp) through a manual gearbox, and the truck runs on six 11.00R20 radial tires. The tank is built in 304 or 316 stainless steel, which is suited to drinking water and resists corrosion, and a water pump is fitted for loading and discharge. The three-seat cab carries a driver and two crew members.
Beyond disaster response, the truck serves water supply to remote villages in the rainy season, field hospitals, military or mining camps, and construction sites off the paved network. Emission level can be supplied from Euro 2 to Euro 6 depending on the destination market.
