Transmission is paired with the Shaanxi Fast SF10JS180TA 10-speed manual gearbox, capable of handling torque inputs up to 1,800 N·m as indicated by its model.
The rear axle is equipped with Shaanxi Hande’s 10T single-stage reduction axle, ensuring high load-bearing capacity. The 8×4 drive configuration enables adaptability and passability on poor road surfaces.
Suspension combines front leaf springs with rear air suspension, ensuring safety during hazardous chemical transport, crucial for vehicle safety.
Furthermore, both front and rear wheels are equipped with disc brakes, offering superior performance and heat dissipation compared to drum brakes. When used with a hydraulic retarder, it enhances safety to a certain extent.
The tires are 12R22.5 special tires from Goodyear, ensuring higher reliability and stronger adaptability to different road conditions. The aluminum alloy wheel rims contribute to the lightweight design to some extent.
The fuel tank has a capacity of up to 400L, complying with regulations. Its aluminum alloy construction contributes to vehicle weight reduction, while additional reinforcement and protective devices ensure reliability. The tank is conveniently located next to the oil discharge port for easy loading and unloading.
The urea tank is positioned between the wheels, saving space and facilitating refueling.
The air tank is located on the right side of the chassis, with its aluminum alloy construction contributing to vehicle lightweighting. Additionally, the 180Ah maintenance-free battery ensures long-term vehicle use.
Tank Capacity: The effective volume of the tank reaches 26.9 cubic meters, with the interior walls specially treated to significantly enhance corrosion resistance, according to manufacturer claims.
Powertrain Review: Considering the gearbox ratio, this model mainly targets low-speed road conditions. With hazardous goods vehicles limited to 80 km/h, the 350 horsepower engine fully meets daily operational needs.
