About the HOWO TX 6×4 Prime Mover

The HOWO TX 6×4 Prime Mover is a heavy tractor unit for long-distance trailer and container haulage. The configuration documented here, model ZZ4255N32GCI, uses the MC11.43-30 engine rated at 430 HP, a 12-speed HW25712XSTCL gearbox and a JOST 90 fifth wheel.

The TX-V high-roof cab has two berths and an air-suspension driver seat with an armrest, and an 860 L fuel tank supports long distances between fuel stops. Axles are the VGD75S at the front and the MCY13BGS at the rear, both with drum brakes.

It suits transport and logistics companies and owner-operators running heavy combinations on routes such as Mombasa to Nairobi, Nakuru and Eldoret. Other TX configurations are listed with a 600 L fuel tank, so Joshua confirms the exact unit before you decide.
