The re-engineered motor now meets the Euro 3 emissions certification required in China and has been up-rated by 11% to 400hp.
Founded in 1956, Sinotruk was China’s first as well its now largest heavy-duty truck manufacturer. The company’s core products include tractors, tippers, cargo trucks and other customised trucks such as concrete mixers, cranes and rubbish trucks.
