Vehicle Overview
We don’t do marketing fluff. This HOWO 6×4 Tractor Truck has hauled 58 tons of ore up a 12% muddy slope near Chingola – and the driver said it felt like a Sunday drive. The 6×4 setup? Each rear axle pulls its weight, so you don’t get stuck when the rains come. Built for Zambian mines, not just a spec sheet.
What makes it different
- 540-600 HP – enough to laugh at 25% grades
- 6×4 drive: two rear axles, zero hesitation in mud
- Reinforced chassis – no flex, even with 60t GCW
- Cooling system that works in 45°C shade
- Dual fuel tanks (800+400L) – fewer fuel stops

Why operators choose this HOWO 6×4 Tractor Truck
Mud? No problem
The 6×4 drive locks power to both rear axles. During last rainy season, one customer climbed a 27% muddy ramp while 4×2 trucks were stuck at the bottom.
Carries more than you’d expect
Reinforced chassis and tandem axles let you haul ~50% more than a 4×2. Actual on-site tests: 62t GCW without sweating.
No overheating in 45°C
We upgraded the cooling system after real feedback from Zambian mines. Now it idles for hours in extreme heat without temp warnings.
540 HP that actually works
Not dyno magic. The MC13 engine delivers 2500 Nm from 1000 rpm – you feel it when climbing out of a pit.
Where it actually works (real jobs)
Copper belt mines (Kitwe, Chingola)
Hauling ore, waste rock, and heavy equipment on unpaved, slippery haul roads – daily grind with 95% uptime.
Lusaka‑Ndola road construction
Moving crushers, asphalt plants, and prefab bridge sections – the 6×4 traction keeps you moving when site access turns to mud.
Overweight / oversized haulage
Generators, transformers, mining mills – the reinforced chassis and dual rear axles handle the abuse.
Logistics in Eastern Province hills
Steep, unpaved roads? No problem. One customer runs 6×4 tractors to a remote solar farm – never called a tow truck.

6×4 vs 4×2 – is it worth the extra cost?
