Sinotruk HOWO engines include the Steyr WD615, D10, and D12 engines, as well as the localized MAN engines: MC05, MC07, MC11, and MC13. Introduction to HOWO: HOWO is a model produced by Sinotruk Jinan Truck Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (Sinotruk). The Chinese label on the certification of Sinotruk HOWO vehicles is 'Haoluo,' but in spoken language, it is rarely referred to as such. In daily communication, it is commonly called HOWO. HOWO is the English identifier for the model, primarily used in export vehicles. Basic configuration of HOWO dump truck: 375 horsepower, EGR China III engine, sleeper air conditioning, HW15710 transmission, ZF8098 imported steering gear, AC16 axle, HF9-ton front axle, 1200 tires, cargo box dimensions: 8200x2300x1000.

I've been driving Sinotruk HOWO trucks for seven or eight years and have used different engine models. Overall, Sinotruk HOWO offers several engine series, with the common ones including the MC series and MT series. The MC09 is a small-displacement model with a 9-liter capacity, particularly fuel-efficient, suitable for urban logistics. The MC11 has an 11-liter displacement, offering stronger power and better stability for heavy loads. There's also the MT13 model, developed with MAN technology, featuring a 13-liter displacement with low emissions that easily pass environmental inspections, making it ideal for long-distance highway transport. The newer D20 series offers high horsepower, suitable for mining operations. Each model caters to different needs, from economical to high-performance options, so choosing the right one depends on the workload. I drive the MC11 for long hauls, and its fuel consumption is impressive, but maintenance shouldn't be neglected. Selecting the right engine can save a lot of money overall.

Having worked in auto repair for over a decade, I've handled many Sinotruk HOWO engines. They mainly consist of four models: First are the MC07 and MC11 from the MC series - the former with lower power suits light-duty work while the latter handles heavy loads better. The MT series like the MT13 is fuel-efficient and durable. Then there are the D08 and D20 models with imported technology, offering greater power and better emissions. When repairing, I've noticed MC series components are simpler to fix while MT is more complex but longer-lasting. Each has different displacements and horsepower ranging from 150 to 540 hp. Common issues include cooling systems needing regular checks to prevent overheating. Engine selection depends on usage - opt for smaller displacement in urban areas and larger ones for long-haul stability.

Recently, I helped a friend choose a Sinotruk HOWO truck and researched the engines. There are roughly three common models: the basic MC09 is suitable for small-scale transportation. The performance-oriented MC11 offers increased horsepower, making it more reliable for hauling goods. The efficient MT13 meets emission standards and has lower fuel consumption. The salesperson mentioned that each model has different displacements, ranging from 7 liters to 13 liters, catering to varying transportation needs. For daily use, the MC11 is sufficient, while the MT13 is better for heavy loads. Newer models might have updated versions, but these are the most common ones currently. When checking the configuration sheet, pay attention to fuel type and environmental standards to avoid mistakes.

As an automotive technology enthusiast, I often pay attention to Sinotruk HOWO engine models. They have multiple mainstream series like the MC series, such as MC06 and MC11, with displacements ranging from 6 to 11 liters and output power exceeding 200 horsepower. The MT series, like the MT13, is optimized for fuel efficiency and meets Euro V standards. There is also a collaborative model, the D20, derived from MAN's design, with a large displacement of 20 liters and over 500 horsepower. The technology iterates quickly, with new models incorporating electronic control systems to enhance reliability. When choosing, the MC models are cost-effective, while the MT series is high-end but more expensive to maintain. Each model differs in emissions and power, matching different working conditions—for example, construction sites require engines with strong power.

Online discussions about Sinotruk HOWO engines are abundant, and I have summarized them as follows: There are roughly four to five engine models, with the classic MC09 and MC11 being the main ones. The MT13 incorporates more advanced technology, and there's also the high-power D20 version. User feedback indicates that the MC09 is great for daily use, the MC11 is suitable for heavy cargo, and the MT13 is fuel-efficient for long-distance hauls. There's news about updated models, but these core models cover various transportation scenarios, from light to heavy-duty. When purchasing a vehicle, matching the right engine can prevent issues like insufficient power or high fuel consumption, and regular maintenance is key. A shared tip: don't skimp on engine size when hauling heavy loads.

What to Do When the Front Tire of a Dongfeng Honda CRV Blows Out?

In case of a sudden tire blowout, avoid slamming the brakes or jerking the steering wheel. If necessary, you can use intermittent braking to reduce speed. Remove the damaged tire and replace it with the spare tire. You can call the 4S shop or your insurance company, or dial 114 to request road assistance or a tow truck for rescue. Place a triangular warning sign 50-100 meters behind the vehicle to alert oncoming traffic of the situation ahead and seek help if possible.

Why Can Sleeping in a Car with Air Conditioning On Lead to Poisoning?

Sleeping in a car with the air conditioning on can lead to poisoning for the following reasons: 1. High carbon monoxide concentration outside the car: At idle speed, even outdoors, if there is no wind, carbon monoxide can accumulate around the car, and the concentration increases over time. 2. Using the external circulation mode: A large amount of carbon monoxide from outside the car can be drawn into the interior, causing carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods to reduce the risk of death when sleeping in a car with air conditioning on: 1. Parking location: First, choose to park the car in an open, spacious, and well-ventilated area, with the front of the car facing the wind direction so that exhaust fumes are blown away. Avoid parking in poorly ventilated parking lots or small indoor spaces. 2. Switching modes: When using the air conditioning in the car, switch from internal circulation to external circulation. Do not keep the internal circulation on for too long, as the air inside the car will gradually decrease, and carbon monoxide levels will rise, leading to poisoning and potentially death. 3. Opening windows: Always leave the car windows slightly open, with a gap of 2CM to 3CM. The more windows are open, the better, but avoid opening them too wide to prevent any malicious individuals or other unusual situations.

How to Remove the Spare Tire of a G-Class?

At the very end of the trunk, there will be a screw for removing the spare tire. Find a small black cover, open it, and you will see the nut. Locate the nut that secures the spare tire (the spare tire is fixed to the car chassis with a bolt), and fit the socket head onto the screw in the black hole. Then, insert the breaker bar through the hole in the middle of the socket. Rotate the breaker bar counterclockwise, and the spare tire will slowly descend under the traction of the steel cable or chain. Once the spare tire drops, pry off the protective panel beneath it to remove the spare tire.

How to Solve the High Water Temperature Issue in Dongfeng Fengxing Jingyi?

Immediately find a safe place to park, but do not turn off the engine right away. Keep the vehicle idling to continue dissipating heat. Check for any leaks under the car. Wait until the temperature gauge needle drops to a suitable level before turning off the engine. Slowly open the first switch, and after the steam pressure is fully released, completely open the coolant compensation tank cap to check the liquid condition in the radiator.
