HOWO NX 220 4×2 7M6 Imported Tarpaulin Frame Cargo Truck

The imported HOWO NX 220 7M6 features a 7.6 m cargo body, making it worth considering for interprovincial freight transportation, industrial park distribution, and general cargo transport.

Key specifications and features include:

WP4.6NQ220E50 engine: 4,580 cm³ displacement, 220 HP output, and Euro 5 emissions standard.
HW95508STCL gearbox: Manual transmission with 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears.
Cargo body dimensions: 7,600 × 2,360 × 800/2,530 mm.
Low-roof cab with one sleeper berth: Equipped with an air-suspension driver’s seat and electrically adjustable, heated mirrors.
Four-airbag cab suspension and electric cab tilting: Designed to improve driving comfort and facilitate inspection and maintenance.

Compared with a 7 m cargo body, the additional 600 mm in length provides more space for arranging cargo longitudinally. However, the actual increase in the number of packages depends on their dimensions and the loading arrangement.

HOWO NX 220 4×2 7M6 Tarpaulin Frame Cargo Truck with a 6,000 mm Wheelbase

The NX 220 7M6 version with a 6,000 mm wheelbase should be identified as a distinct configuration when discussing vehicle specifications. The term “6,000 mm wheelbase” refers to the distance between the front and rear axles, not the cargo body length.

The HOWO NX 220 7M6 Tarpaulin Frame Cargo Truck page on VIMID highlights the following specifications:

WP4.6NQ220E50 engine with an output of 220 HP.
Manual transmission with 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears.
Low-roof cab with one sleeper berth and an air-suspension driver’s seat.
7.6 m cargo body divided into four compartments.
300-liter aluminum alloy fuel tank.

When comparing this version with the imported NX 220 7M6, businesses should request a specification sheet that clearly states the wheelbase, overall vehicle dimensions, and cargo body specifications. The two vehicles should not be assumed to be identical simply because they share the same 220 HP engine and 7.6 m cargo body length.

HOWO NX 240 4×2 8M5 Tarpaulin Frame Cargo Truck

The HOWO NX 240 8M5 has the longest cargo body among the five models listed, making it worth considering when cargo requires more floor space or involves long packages.

Key features include:

240 HP engine: Uses the MC07 engine series featuring MAN technology.
8.5 m tarpaulin frame cargo body: Equipped with multiple side panels that can be opened.
High-roof cab with two sleeper berths: Designed to accommodate long-distance transportation.
Four-airbag cab suspension, electrically adjustable heated mirrors, and electric cab tilting.
HW95508STC gearbox: Equipped with a range-shift mechanism.

The 8.5 m cargo body is approximately 900 mm longer than that of the NX 220 7M6 and 1,500 mm longer than that of the V950 7M. This difference is useful when planning cargo loading, but it does not mean that the permitted payload increases proportionally.

HOWO V950 4×2 7M Tarpaulin Frame Cargo Truck with Aluminum Side Panels and Liftable Side Panels

The HOWO V950 with aluminum side panels is suitable for customers who need a 7 m cargo body and want a liftable side-panel configuration to facilitate loading and unloading.

Notable features include:

Weichai WP4.1NQ190E50 engine: 4,088 cm³ displacement, 190 HP output, and maximum torque of 680 Nm.
8-speed forward, 2-speed reverse gearbox: Equipped with high and low range gears.
Tarpaulin frame cargo body with aluminum side panels and liftable side panels: Dimensions of 7,000 × 2,360 × 800/2,460 mm.
4-channel ABS and ASR: Assist with braking and traction control.

With this configuration, customers should check the side-panel opening and closing mechanism, the clearance required alongside the vehicle, and access to cargo at different positions. These factors directly affect loading and delivery times.

HOWO V950 4×2 7M Tarpaulin Cargo Truck with Liftup Side Panels

The HOWO V950 Tarpaulin Cargo Truck with Lift-up Side Panels also features a 7 m cargo body, 2,360 mm in width, with a height specification of 800/2,460 mm. The vehicle uses a 190 HP engine and an 8-forward, 2-reverse gearbox.

The cab includes several driver-oriented features:

Air-suspension driver’s seat and sleeper berth.
7-inch LCD screen integrated with a reversing camera.
Multifunction steering wheel with cruise control.
Electrically adjustable mirrors with heating function.

When choosing between the two V950 versions, businesses should compare the cargo body materials and construction, the payload capacity of the completed vehicle, cargo requirements, and the main operating climate to determine the most suitable option.

What Types of Cargo Are Suitable for HOWO 9-Ton Trucks?

HOWO 9-ton trucks are particularly suitable for heavy goods or packaged cargo with an actual load of approximately 6–9 tons. They can also transport lightweight but bulky goods effectively thanks to their long cargo bodies. These trucks are commonly used for interprovincial transportation, distribution, and general freight operations.

Cargo Category	Examples	Loading Considerations
Agricultural products	Rice, coffee, cashews, pepper, durian, watermelon, and bagged vegetables	Use a tarpaulin frame or enclosed cargo body when rain protection is required. Prioritize ventilation for fresh produce.
Consumer goods and FMCG	Confectionery, soft drinks, instant noodles, cosmetics, and supermarket goods	Use an enclosed or tarpaulin-covered cargo body; optimize pallet loading and multi-tier stacking.
Palletized and carton-packed goods	E-commerce goods, packaging materials, components, and freight forwarding cargo	Choose a cargo body approximately 7–9 m long for lightweight but high-volume cargo.
Industrial materials and goods	Light steel coils, finished steel products, sheet metal, plastic pipes, and production supplies	Consider a flatbed or dump body for loose materials; ensure proper load securing.
Construction materials	Sand, gravel, bricks, and bulk cement	Choose a HOWO 9-ton dump truck rather than a tarpaulin frame cargo truck for heavy and loose materials.
Machinery and equipment	Agricultural machinery, industrial machinery, and bulky equipment	Use a flatbed with a reinforced floor and appropriate tie-down straps; consider load distribution.

Which HOWO 9-Ton Truck Should You Choose?

Choose a HOWO 9-ton truck based on cargo type and operating routes rather than relying solely on the “9-ton” classification. For most heavy-goods and packaged-cargo transportation needs, a 2-axle HOWO 9-ton truck with a 7.4–8.2 m tarpaulin frame cargo body offers a balanced combination of price, versatility, and carrying capacity.

Business Requirement	Recommended Configuration	Reason
Dry goods, agricultural products, pallets, and general freight	HOWO 9-ton tarpaulin frame cargo truck	More affordable than an enclosed cargo body, easy to load and unload, and suitable for bulky goods that do not require special protection.
Cargo requiring protection from rain, dust, and theft	HOWO 9-ton enclosed cargo truck	Provides better cargo protection and is suitable for consumer goods, electronics, and high-value products.
Lightweight but high-volume cargo	HOWO 9-ton truck with an 8.5 m long tarpaulin frame or enclosed cargo body	Makes better use of cargo volume and can reduce the number of trips for cartons, pallets, and e-commerce goods.
Cargo requiring fast loading and unloading	HOWO 9-ton truck with liftable side panels	Facilitates handling of loose goods and materials, as well as cargo loaded or unloaded using cranes or forklifts.
