A brand-new 2026 HOWO TX 8x4 dump truck on a 1,800 + 4,200 + 1,350 mm wheelbase, specified for overseas mining and heavy engineering where the payload per trip — not the trip time — sets the economics. The driveline combines the 371 HP WD615.47 Euro II engine, the HW19710 10-speed transmission with an HW50 direct-drive PTO, a VGD95 double-steering front axle and MCP16ZG 16-tonne tandem rear axles at a 5.26 ratio.

Twin Steering Axles and a Short Ratio for Maximum Traction

The 8x4 layout of this HOWO TX dump truck puts two steering axles up front and a 16-tonne tandem at the rear. On a works site that means the load is spread across more contact patches and the steering stays usable on soft or rutted ground where a 6x4 would begin to plough. The 5.26 final drive is a short ratio chosen for tractive effort: it holds a fully loaded body on a gradient rather than chasing road speed.

The chassis underneath is a double-layer 8+8 / 300 mm frame with a reinforced 11 / 11 / 12 multi-leaf suspension pack, sized for repeated full-load cycles on unsealed haul roads. The truck rides on 12.00R20 22PR heavy-duty steel radials in an engineering cross tread pattern — tubed tyres, which is the practical choice for a site where a punctured tube can be repaired locally instead of scrapping a tubeless assembly.

Engine, Tipping System and Body Options

The WD615.47 runs a mechanical injection pump on Euro II with no SCR system and no urea to refill, freeze or fail. It tolerates higher-sulphur diesel and has no emissions sensor able to derate the engine far from the nearest workshop — the reason this specification remains the default in export mining markets.

Tipping is handled by a HYVA 179HD front-end hydraulic cylinder. The dump body on this HOWO 8x4 dump truck is built to order: it can be a U-shape environmental skip or a rectangular heavy-duty ore body, with side and floor plate thickness matched to your material — for example 8 mm sides with a 12 mm floor, or 10 mm sides with a 16 mm floor where abrasive rock is the daily diet. An engineering oil-bath air filter is available for dust-heavy operations, the 400 L steel tank can be upgraded, and paint can be finished in fleet colours with commercial lettering. Braking is a full air drum system; ABS is not specified on this configuration.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose an 8x4 dump truck instead of a 6x4?

Two steering axles and a 16-tonne tandem spread the gross weight across more contact patches. On soft or rutted ground that keeps the truck steerable where a 6x4 would begin to plough, and it allows a longer or heavier body without overloading the front axle.

What tyres does this HOWO TX 8x4 dump truck use?

It runs 12.00R20 22PR heavy-duty steel radials in an engineering cross tread pattern, tubed. Tubed tyres are the practical choice on site: a punctured tube can be repaired locally instead of scrapping an entire tubeless assembly.

Is ABS fitted to this 8x4 dump truck?

No. Braking is a full air drum system without ABS on this configuration, which is the conventional specification for mining and heavy engineering duty. Tell us if ABS is required for your market and we will confirm availability.

What is the tipping system?

A HYVA 179HD front-end hydraulic cylinder is fitted. An engineering oil-bath air filter is available for dust-heavy operations, and the 400 L steel fuel tank can be upgraded for longer site rotations.
