A CNG tractor head runs on compressed natural gas instead of diesel. It suits operators who have reliable CNG filling stations along their routes and want to compare fuel costs against diesel.
Common export builds of the HOWO NX CNG use SINOTRUK's MT13 natural-gas engine at about 430 hp, the HW19710 gearbox and a rack of gas cylinders behind the cab. We size the cylinder set to your daily distance and confirm the full specification on the quotation.

Frequently asked questions
Is a CNG tractor head cheaper to run than diesel?
It depends on the local price of gas against diesel and on how far you drive between filling stations. We do not promise a saving; compare your own fuel prices and route before choosing gas.
How far can a HOWO CNG truck drive on one fill?
Range depends on the cylinder volume, load, road and driving. Tell us your daily distance and we propose a cylinder set for it.
Do gas cylinders need special documents?
Yes, gas cylinders usually need certificates and periodic inspection. Check the rules in your country with your clearing agent and gas supplier before shipping.
Can I get the exact truck specification before payment?
Yes. Ask for the chassis model, engine, gearbox, axles, wheelbase, tyres, body or equipment, condition, price, Incoterm, and delivery schedule in the quotation and proforma invoice. Do not rely only on a general catalogue description.
Can an independent company inspect the truck?
Yes. Independent pre-shipment inspection is welcome. The inspection scope should compare the actual truck with the signed specification and record identification plates, condition, operation, dimensions, and visible defects.
Is the displayed specification guaranteed for every unit?
No. It describes common configurations. Stock and factory-order specifications can vary. Only the final written sales documents and inspection record define the truck being supplied.
