What the Sinotruk HOWO TX Battery-Swap Dump Truck 8×4 is built for
The Sinotruk HOWO TX Battery-Swap Dump Truck 8×4 is a battery-electric dump truck with a gross vehicle weight of 31 t (68,300 lb). Dump trucks run short, fixed cycles between quarry, plant and site, which suits electric trucks well: the routes are predictable and the trucks return to the same charging or swap point every shift.
Its rated weight is close to the median of 31 t across the 5 electric dump trucks with a stated gross vehicle weight in our database.
Battery and charging
The Sinotruk HOWO TX Battery-Swap Dump Truck 8×4 is offered with 282 – 350 kWh batteries of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells from CATL, below the median of 422 kWh across the 5 electric dump trucks in our database. LFP cells hold less energy for their weight than nickel-based ones, but last more charge cycles and tolerate heat and fast charging well, which is why most heavy electric trucks now use them.
It charges by battery swapping, where a swap station exchanges the depleted pack for a charged one in about five minutes. Swapping keeps a truck working around the clock and is widespread on Chinese freight corridors, mines and construction sites, where swap stations serve whole fleets.
Power and drive
Its electric drive delivers 270 kW continuously and 410 kW at peak (550 hp); its peak power is close to the median of 451 kW across the 9 electric dump trucks in our database.
Drivetrain: sinotruk (Langgao) motor, 8×4 drive.
The Sinotruk HOWO TX Battery-Swap Dump Truck 8×4 reaches 89 km/h.
