A 2026 HOWO NX 6x4 RHD tractor truck in factory right-hand drive, specified for long-haul and container transport in right-hand-drive markets. This tractor truck pairs the 371 HP WD615.47 Euro II engine with the HW19710 10-speed transmission — rated for 1,900 N·m of input torque — MAN-technology MCJ12BGY tandem rear axles at a 4.11 ratio and a 600 L aluminium fuel tank.

Specified for the RHD Corridors It Will Actually Run

The target list is explicit rather than generic: Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe across East and Southern Africa, plus Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia in Southeast Asia. Those are markets where right-hand drive is not a preference but a legal requirement, and where a converted left-hand-drive cab becomes an inspection problem at the port rather than a cost saving.

This HOWO NX RHD tractor truck — model ZZ4257V344JB1R — is a factory right-hand-drive unit with the right-hand H77L-R cab. The interior is specified for long-distance work rather than short shuttle duty: air-suspension seats for both driver and passenger, a single bunk, and air conditioning. Over a multi-day corridor run, that specification is what keeps a driver productive and holds down the fatigue that shows up as fuel burn and incident risk.

The rest of the truck is sized for the same duty. A 600 L aluminium fuel tank stretches the distance between refuelling stops on corridors with long gaps between reliable stations, and the 315/80R22.5 18PR tyres on a 50# kingpin fifth wheel are the standard combination for container and general trailer work in these markets.

MAN-Technology Axles and a Highway Ratio

The rear end of this HOWO NX tractor truck uses MCJ12BGY MAN-technology 12-tonne class tandem axles with drum brakes. The 4.11 final drive ratio sits between a pure highway ratio and a heavy-haul ratio — low enough engine rpm at cruising speed to keep fuel consumption sensible on a long corridor, high enough multiplication to pull a loaded container trailer away from a standstill without slipping the clutch.

Top speed is quoted at 102 km/h. The 315/80R22.5 18PR vacuum tyres carry the load, and a 50# kingpin fifth wheel is fitted for trailer coupling. Braking is a full air system with ABS as standard, and a fire extinguisher is included. The 600 L aluminium tank reduces refuelling stops on corridors with long gaps between reliable stations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which countries is this RHD tractor truck built for?

It is specified for right-hand-drive markets in East Africa and Southern Africa — Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Mozambique and Zimbabwe — plus Southeast Asia and the islands, including Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia.

Is this a factory right-hand-drive HOWO tractor truck or a conversion?

It is a factory RHD build with the right-hand H77L-R cab. The steering gear, pedal layout and wiring are integrated on the assembly line, so there is no converted-cab wiring to fail and the documentation matches the vehicle at inspection.

What axle ratio options are available on this HOWO NX tractor truck?

The 4.11 ratio is standard, with 4.77 and 5.73 available at order. Tell us your trailer weight and the steepest climb on your route and we will specify the ratio to match rather than defaulting to the standard.

What engine options does this tractor truck offer?

The factory WD615.47 is rated here at 371 HP, with 380 HP and 430 HP builds available, and a Weichai WP10 or WP12 unit can be specified instead. All options are fixed at the order stage and cannot be retrofitted afterwards.
