After all, high timeliness means high returns.
 
▎500L double gas cylinders, the weight is as light as 7.9 tons
 
In order to make full and efficient use of the chassis space of the truck, this Chenglong T5 tractor truck is equipped with two 500-liter gas cylinders, and the total gas cylinder volume of 1000 liters can provide sufficient cruising range for the truck so that the transportation efficiency has been greatly improved.

When equipped with a three-axle lightweight trailer, it is relatively easy to load 35 tons.
 
▎Low-body flat-floor cab, convenient space and good environment
 
In terms of interior design, the overall central control is in a semi-circumferential shape, which makes the functional area closer to the driver's side, making it easier to control the truck during daily driving. Functional configuration is also based on practical configuration, such as air conditioners, energy-saving switches, inter-axle and inter-wheel differentials, etc.
 


Thanks to the design of the long-head cab, the interior of the cab can be equipped with a low body and a quasi-flat floor cab. At the same time, the convenience of the space in the entire truck has also been significantly improved.
