SINOTRUCK HOWO has always enjoyed a good reputation. In recent years, its continuous breakthroughs in key technologies, improvement in product quality, and enhancement of after - sales services have brought its products closer to the quality level of imported models. Today, the editor will introduce the HOWO T7H. This vehicle is designed by CNHTC HOWO for long - distance logistics and dedicated - line transportation. Positioned as a high - end tractor truck, it is equipped with a powerful 540 - horsepower engine.

The HOWO T7H continues its previous styling. The long chrome - plated strips above the grille give it a grand and stable look.
A rear - mounted deflector on the roof can effectively reduce the drag coefficient. The HOWO T7H features a high - roof cab design, which makes it look mighty and imposing. The rear - mounted deflector can not only reduce the drag coefficient but also improve fuel efficiency.
Positioned on both sides of the sun visor, the clearance lights can effectively enhance driving safety.
The headlights adopt a split design for high and low beams, with LED and halogen light sources. There are clearance lights on the front of the vehicle, which not only make the vehicle look more refined but also improve driving safety. The headlights support height adjustment.
The vehicle comes standard with an air - bag seat, which provides a comfortable driving experience. The air - bag seat supports height and angle adjustment, allowing drivers to adjust to a comfortable driving position according to their needs, ensuring great comfort. The interior is mostly designed in black, giving a simple and elegant look. The central control panel integrates multiple function buttons for easy operation.
The T7H is also equipped with an intelligent air - conditioner that can automatically adjust according to the usage environment, providing great convenience. This configuration is especially user - friendly in hot regions. Compared with traditional manual air - conditioners, it can sense the temperature and climate through sensors installed outside the vehicle and automatically adjust the temperature.
The lower sleeper of the HOWO T7H is quite spacious. Through actual measurement, it can easily accommodate two people. It is worth noting that the lower sleeper is extremely spacious, with an estimated width increase of 15 - 20 centimeters, giving the feeling of a large bed in the vehicle. In fact, two people can sleep on it comfortably. For long - distance transportation, this is an excellent configuration as the spacious sleeper provides a more comfortable rest environment.
Engine: CNHTC MC13.54 - 50, In - line 6 - cylinder, Displacement: 12.419L, Maximum Output Power: 397 kW, Maximum Output Horsepower: 540 hp, Maximum Output Torque: 2500 N·m. In terms of power, the CNHTC T7H is equipped with the CNHTC MC13.54 - 50 in - line 6 - cylinder engine. This engine is newly developed after CNHTC introduced MAN technology. It has a maximum output power of 397 kW, a maximum output of 540 horsepower, and a maximum output torque of 2500 N·m, meeting the National V emission standards.
Transmission: CNHTC HW25712XC. The transmission matched with the engine is the CNHTC HW25712XC series 12 - speed manual transmission. After being redesigned, it uses a helical - gear structure. Helical - gear transmissions can withstand greater input torque, and their reliability is higher when the vehicle is operating at its limit. The combination of such a high - horsepower engine and the in - house transmission, after proper matching and adjustment, enables the vehicle to easily handle complex road conditions in areas like Yunnan, Guizhou, and Sichuan. Compared with low - horsepower models, this vehicle has higher practical value in certain road conditions.
Tires: The vehicle uses Chaoyang brand tires with a specification of 12R22.5.
The diesel filter is equipped with a clogging indicator function, which is convenient for daily inspection. In case of problems, it can be replaced in a timely manner. Some diesel filters do not have a clogging indicator function and cannot timely alert users to filter failures. Continuing to use such filters can lead to more serious consequences. The diesel filter of this vehicle, with its clogging indicator function, makes it easier to determine whether replacement is needed, avoiding engine damage caused by a malfunctioning diesel filter.
The front axle adopts a common leaf - spring steel structure, and the brakes are traditional drum brakes, ensuring high - strength load - bearing capacity of the vehicle.
The rear axle also uses a leaf - spring suspension, ensuring reliable load - bearing capacity and facilitating maintenance. The vehicle's front and rear suspensions adopt a reduced - leaf - spring structure, reducing the number of leaf springs while increasing the mass of each individual spring. This design aims to reduce weight while maintaining the original load - bearing capacity. Combined with the high - horsepower engine, it ensures that the vehicle has a very large load - bearing capacity.
A balance bar is installed under the rear axle. When the vehicle passes through curves or rough roads, it can provide good support for the vehicle body, keeping the vehicle in a good posture and making it easy to control.
The rear axle is equipped with a V - shaped thrust rod, which can prevent the displacement of the rear axle and maintain good handling performance.
The vehicle frame adopts a variable - cross - section design, saving materials while ensuring strength and achieving lightweight. In the current era of universal lightweighting, the CNHTC T7H also adopts a variable - cross - section frame design, which can eliminate unnecessary weight in the vehicle body structure while ensuring high - strength load - bearing performance.
After collaborating with MAN from Germany, CNHTC has not only upgraded its key technologies but also paid more attention to details. In the highly competitive commercial vehicle market, it is hoped that CNHTC can withstand market tests and produce better vehicles for users.
