A brand-new 2026 HOWO 8x4 dump truck on a 1,800 + 3,500 + 1,350 mm wheelbase, built on the HW76 new-front cab and MCP16ZG tandem running gear. The specification combines the 371 HP WD615.47 Euro II engine, the HW19710 10-speed transmission with HW50 PTO, a VGD95 double-steering front axle and 16-tonne tandem rear axles at a 5.26 ratio.

A Shorter Wheelbase for Tight Site Manoeuvring

This short-wheelbase HOWO 8x4 dump truck shares its driveline with the longer 8x4 in the range but sits on a 3,500 mm centre wheelbase instead of 4,200 mm. In practical terms that shortens the turning circle and the tail swing, which matters in a quarry bench, an underground portal approach or a cramped plant yard where a longer 8x4 needs three-point turns that a shorter one clears in one movement. The trade-off is a shorter body envelope, so this HOWO dump truck is the right choice when manoeuvrability and cycle time matter more than maximum body volume.

The chassis is a heavy-duty double-layer frame with a reinforced multi-leaf suspension package, riding on 12.00R20 tyres with a spare carried as standard. The 8x4 configuration spreads load across two steering axles and a 16-tonne tandem, keeping the truck steerable when the ground is soft rather than firm.

Mechanical Injection for Fuel Quality You Cannot Control

The WD615.47 uses a mechanical injection pump on Euro II: no SCR system, no DEF or AdBlue tank, no urea dosing to refill or replace when it freezes. That is a deliberate choice for export mining duty, because it tolerates higher-sulphur diesel and cannot be derated by an emissions sensor hundreds of kilometres from the nearest workshop.

The HW76 cab provides a single bunk, air conditioning and a high-mounted metal bumper. The dump body is specified at order — U-shape environmental skip or rectangular heavy ore body, with side and floor plate thickness matched to your material, and HYVA front-end or centre-mounted twin-cylinder lifting available. An engineering oil-bath air filter suits dust-heavy sites, and fleet-colour paint with door lettering can be applied before shipment so units arrive ready to work. Braking is a full air drum system without ABS.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the wheelbase of this HOWO 8x4 dump truck?

It sits on a 1,800 + 3,500 + 1,350 mm wheelbase with an overall length of approximately 10,500 mm — shorter than the 4,200 mm centre-wheelbase 8x4 in the range, which is what gives it the tighter turning circle.

What is the difference between this 8x4 dump truck and the longer 8x4 version?

Only the wheelbase and body envelope differ. Both use the same 371 HP WD615.47 Euro II engine, HW19710 gearbox with HW50 PTO, VGD95 double-steering front axle and MCP16ZG 16-tonne tandem rear axles at a 5.26 ratio.

What model is this HOWO dump truck?

It is the ZZ3317N3567B1, fitted with the HW76 new-front cab with single bunk and air conditioning, riding on 12.00R20 tyres with a spare carried as standard.

Can the dump body be customised?

Yes. Body style, plate material and thickness are specified at order, and lifting can be HYVA front-end or centre-mounted twin-cylinder. An engineering oil-bath air filter is available for dust-heavy sites.
