The HOWO TX sits above the HOWO 371 and NX: more power for heavy trailers, long climbs and fully loaded container work. Common export builds use a 430 hp engine with the TX cab and sleeper.
Engines on TX builds include SINOTRUK's MC11 and Weichai's WP12 at about 430 hp. Because engine, gearbox and axle choices vary between builds, we confirm the exact combination for your route on the quotation.

Condition and warranty
- Brand new: factory order
- Refurbished TX units: quoted when available
On new and refurbished trucks, the engine, gearbox and rear axle carry a 12-month warranty; wear parts are not covered. Your quotation states the condition, the work done and the parts replaced.
Before the balance payment, ask for dated photos and a video call of the actual truck: chassis, cab, engine bay, gearbox, axles, tyres and odometer. Independent inspection by SGS, Bureau Veritas or another inspector is welcome.
Export documents and shipping
We supply the commercial invoice, packing list, bill of lading and Certificate of Origin. Destination inspection and conformity documents depend on your country: check steering side, emission standard, vehicle age limits, duties and registration rules with a licensed clearing agent before ordering.
Delivery to a Chinese port takes 30 to 45 working days after the deposit. Trucks normally ship by RoRo, or by flat-rack where RoRo is not available. Prices are EXW Jining; sea freight is quoted separately when the truck is ready to ship.

Frequently asked questions
How much is a HOWO TX 430 tractor head?
Price on request. Send your quantity, destination port, drive side and condition, and we reply with an EXW Jining quotation.
HOWO TX vs NX: which should I choose?
Choose the NX 371 for standard container and freight work with a comfortable cab. Choose the TX when you need about 430 hp for heavier loads or steep routes. Our HOWO 371 vs NX vs TX guide compares them.
Which engine does the HOWO TX use?
Export builds commonly use the SINOTRUK MC11 or Weichai WP12 at about 430 hp. The engine model is written on your quotation and proforma invoice.
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.
