HOWO Tractor Trucks
HOWO Tractor Trucks have gained a good reputation in the market for their superior quality and safety features. These heavy-duty trucks are widely used in a variety of transport scenarios such as long haulage, container transport, and dangerous goods transport. With excellent performance and safety, HOWO tractor trucks are the first choice in several industries.
The HOWO series offers a wide range of models to meet different transport needs. These trucks are equipped with powerful engines, robust chassis, and innovative technologies to ensure efficient and reliable performance. The emphasis on safety features makes HOWO tractors stand out in the highly competitive heavy-duty vehicle market. For advice on how to choose the right model, you can refer to the advice we provide on choosing the right HOWO tractor model.
Advanced Braking System
HOWO tractors are equipped with advanced braking systems to ensure safe driving in all road conditions. Key technologies include:
ABS (Anti-lock Braking System): the system prevents wheels from locking up during braking, maintaining vehicle stability and control.ABS ensures that the truck can steer safely in emergency braking situations, reducing the risk of skidding.
EBS (Electronic Braking System): improves braking response and efficiency by electronically controlling the distribution of braking force.EBS integrates with other electronic systems to provide optimum braking performance and enhance overall safety.
Other braking features include:
Brake Assist (BA): provides additional braking force during emergency stops.
Hill Start Assist (HSA): prevents the truck from skidding backward during hill starts, ensuring a smooth and safe start.
Stability and control features
Electronic Stability Control (ESC): this system helps the driver maintain vehicle stability by detecting and reducing loss of traction.ESC automatically applies the brakes to individual wheels, preventing sideslip and understeer and ensuring that the truck stays on its intended path.
Traction Control System (TCS): monitors the speed of each wheel and intervenes when wheel slip is detected. By applying braking force to slipping wheels, TCS improves traction and helps maintain control over a variety of terrain. This is especially important in adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and ice.
Automatic Traction Control (ATC): works in tandem with TCS to manage the transfer of power to the wheels, optimizing traction and preventing wheel slip during acceleration. This system is vital for maintaining control in slippery conditions and during rapid acceleration.
Rollover Stability Control (RSC): detects potential rollover and automatically applies the brakes to slow down and prevent rollover. This system is particularly important for vehicles with a high center of gravity, such as heavy trucks.
Driver Assistance Technologies
HOWO tractor-trailers use a variety of driver assistance technologies (ADAS) to improve driving safety, comfort, and convenience. These technologies utilize sensors, cameras, and software to monitor their surroundings and provide alerts or automated interventions to the driver. Key ADAS features include:
Lane Departure Warning (LDW): alerts the driver when a vehicle is unintentionally departing from its lane.LDW uses cameras to monitor lane markings and provide an audible or visual alert to the driver.
Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB): automatically brakes the vehicle when the system detects a risk of a collision ahead.AEB uses a radar and camera system to detect obstacles and activate the brakes when a collision is imminent.
Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC): maintains a safe distance from the vehicle in front by automatically adjusting the truck’s speed.ACC improves driver convenience and safety during long-distance driving.
Blind Spot Monitoring (BSM): alerts drivers to vehicles in their blind spots.BSM uses radar sensors to detect vehicles approaching from behind and provides visual or audible alerts.
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA): warns the driver of approaching traffic when reversing.RCTA is useful in busy or congested areas, especially when visibility is restricted.
Lane Keeping Assist (LKA): provides steering assistance to help keep the vehicle in the lane.LKA works in conjunction with LDW to enhance lane-keeping performance.
Cab safety and comfort
Cab safety is essential to protect the driver in an accident.HOWO tractors are equipped with:
Airbags: reduce the risk of serious injury in the event of a collision. Airbags are strategically placed where the driver and passengers are likely to be impacted.
Reinforced cab structure: Improves the structural integrity of the cab to protect occupants. The reinforced design ensures that the cab retains its shape in the event of a crash, protecting the driver.
Seat belts: A key safety measure to prevent throws and reduce the risk of injury. Seat belts in Hyundai HOWO trucks are equipped with pre-tensioners and force limiters for enhanced protection.
Comfort features are also given high priority to ensure that the driver can operate the vehicle in a comfortable environment:
Ergonomic seats: designed to reduce fatigue during long drives. The seats are adjustable and provide lumbar support to ensure the driver remains comfortable and alert.
Climate control: maintains a comfortable temperature inside the cab regardless of the weather outside. The advanced climate control system ensures that the driver can focus on the road without discomfort.
Visibility and Lighting System
Good visibility is essential for safe driving, HOWO tractor trucks are equipped with advanced lighting systems that help drivers detect obstacles early, accurately assess road conditions, improve reaction speed, and thus increase road safety.
LED headlamps and fog lamps: improve visibility at night and in adverse weather conditions.LED lamps provide brighter, more focused illumination for enhanced night driving safety.
Automatic headlamps: ensure optimum visibility by adapting the lighting to ambient light conditions. This feature automatically switches on the headlights when it is dark and switches them off during the day.
Daytime Running Lights (DRL): Enhances vehicle visibility during the daytime.DRL ensures that the truck is visible to other road users during the day, reducing the risk of daytime accidents.
Regular maintenance and safety
Regular maintenance is essential to ensure proper operation of safety functions. Key maintenance measures include:
Checking airbags and seatbelts: ensuring they are in good working order. Regular inspections and replacement where necessary ensure that these key safety features are functioning correctly.
Check the lighting system: maintain optimum visibility. Regularly check and replace bulbs to ensure alignment of headlights and maintain the effectiveness of the lighting system.
Brake System Maintenance: Regularly inspect and maintain the brake system to ensure optimal performance. This includes checking brake pads, discs, and brake fluid levels.
Tyre Maintenance: Ensure proper tire pressure and tread depth. Regular tire rotation and alignment checks are vital to maintaining stability and control.
Specialist maintenance services provided by NEEDL EMARK PT DJARUM .CN INTERNATIONAL GROUP CHINA CO., LTD. help keep safety systems in top condition. These services include:
