● C5H Oil Tank Truck: Lightweight Air Suspension, Strong Transport Capacity
Transporting hazardous chemicals requires extremely high vehicle performance standards, and this C5H fuel tank truck is equipped with a remarkably robust configuration.
It features the extended C5H-W cab with a 4-point air suspension system for shock absorption. The vehicle delivers 340 horsepower and complies with the Euro V emission standards. It is equipped with a German ZF 9S1311 transmission paired with a hydraulic retarder, significantly enhancing braking performance and ensuring excellent braking safety during long downhill driving.
The entire vehicle uses disc brakes, and the electrical system meets ADR standards. It also includes advanced safety systems such as ABS, ASR, EBL, and TPM to ensure safety during hazardous materials transport.
The front axle adopts a parabolic leaf spring structure, while the rear axle uses full air suspension. This not only significantly reduces the vehicle’s curb weight but also improves driving comfort. The air suspension allows for adjustable vehicle height, facilitating rapid unloading. The rear axle is a lightweight MCY13Q model with a 4.63 gear ratio and is equipped with a lateral stabilizer bar, balancing power, speed, and vehicle stability.
The tank is made of aluminum alloy with a maximum capacity of 30 cubic meters. The total weight of the aluminum alloy fuel tank truck can reach up to 32 tons, while the lightweight chassis—thanks to a series of weight-reduction designs—can be as light as 8.7 tons. Additionally, it uses lightweight and high-performance Alcoa aluminum alloy wheels, further enhancing the truck’s overall performance.
