Function Introduction

bb3f3377018fd51dbb448a9c591663d7
  • The HOWO TX Big Rig Tractor Head is equipped with an integrated electronically controlled power system. It monitors engine conditions in real time and automatically adjusts power output according to load and road conditions to cut unnecessary energy consumption.
  • Its transmission system adopts a precisely meshed manual gearbox for smooth shifting and low power transmission loss. It delivers consistent torque to support non-stop long-distance trunk transport.
  • The air system adopts centralized piping layout with independent air reservoirs to guarantee stable air supply. The braking air circuit stays reliable even under high-temperature and dusty field conditions.
  • The vehicle electrical system is fitted with multi-channel protection circuits, and all wiring harnesses are protected by dustproof and waterproof sleeves to adapt to sandy and dusty construction or mining areas. The on-board display shows speed, oil pressure, water temperature and fault codes directly, supporting rapid troubleshooting.
  • The fifth wheel comes with a locking indicator to confirm safe connection with the trailer and prevent accidental uncoupling. An external air supply port is reserved to inflate the trailer air circuit for trailer maintenance and parking operations.
  • Enough mounting points are reserved on the frame for optional add-ons such as auxiliary water tanks, extra fuel tanks, reversing radars and monitoring cameras. It supports flexible function expansion to match diverse fleet operation plans.

Quality Inspection Process

We adopt a closed-loop full-inspection system. Every HOWO TX tractor head goes through standardized checks to guarantee consistent quality before shipment:

Initial Chassis Incoming Inspection

After the chassis arrives, we verify the VIN, powertrain, axle ratio and tire specifications against your order. We check for surface damage and wrong wiring to ensure all base components match your customization requirements.

In-line Patrol Inspection During Assembly

During cab fitting, bumper guard installation, LHD/RHD conversion and air & electric circuit routing, our QC team carries out spot checks. We focus on wiring waterproof treatment, pipeline tightness and welding quality to fix assembly defects in time.

Static Comprehensive Test

Once assembly finishes, we run static electrical tests for dashboard, lights, horn, wiper, air conditioner and door locks. Pressure retention testing is performed on brake air lines to detect air, oil or water leaks. We also inspect fifth wheel locking mechanism and protective accessories.

Dynamic Road Test On Site

We conduct an on-site road test without load. We simulate starting, gear shifting, acceleration, braking, steering and climbing conditions to check gearbox performance, brake response, steering alignment and abnormal noise from engine and rear axles.

Cleaning & Cosmetic Re-inspection

After passing the road test, the truck is fully cleaned. We recheck paint finish, panel gaps and labels, supplement missing spare parts, tidy wiring and cab interior to ensure neat appearance without scratches.

Final Pre-shipment Inspection & Document Verification

Before loading, we double-check vehicle configuration, tool kits, certificates and inspection documents, and take photos for archive. A second recheck on brakes, lights and air system will be done. Only vehicles passing all checks get the QC pass certificate for container loading.
