Right Hand Drive FAW 5 Ton 10m³ LPG Bobtail / Tanker Truck for African Markets | High-Safety LPG Delivery Vehicle

The Right Hand Drive FAW 5 Ton 10m³ LPG Bobtail/Tanker Truck is an advanced LPG transportation solution tailored for right-hand-drive regions in Africa, including Kenya, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Tanzania, and similar markets. Its engineering focuses on reliability, safety, and adaptability—ensuring stable performance even under harsh road and climate conditions.

Powered by a Yuchai YC4E160-33 160HP diesel engine, the vehicle delivers efficient fuel consumption and consistent torque output. The Shaanxi 8JS75TC synchronised transmission provides smooth gear shifting and effective power transfer, whether the vehicle is fully loaded or climbing hilly terrain. A 4700mm wheelbase, reinforced front and rear axles, and heavy-duty 10.00R20 tires provide secure traction and balanced handling. Combined with strengthened leaf springs, enlarged brake linings, and a robust chassis structure, the truck is built to withstand long-distance transport and rugged operating environments.

Safety is embedded into every detail of the LPG tank construction. The 10m³ tank is made from high-quality Q345R steel, featuring a 10mm shell and 12mm heads, with a design pressure of 1.61MPa and 1mm corrosion allowance. A DN450 manhole provides convenient access, while DN80 safety valves and DN50/DN25 emergency shut-off valves ensure secure operation during transportation, loading, and unloading. Each component—pipeline flanges, blind covers, grounding system, level sensors, and temperature/pressure gauges—is designed to reduce risks and guarantee safe handling of LPG.

Equipped with a high-performance LPG vane pump, flow meter, 15-meter hose reel, and cylinder filling nozzle, the truck provides fast and accurate refilling capabilities. Additional features such as reflective safety markings, fire extinguishers, protective bumpers, and an aluminum shutter toolbox enhance both safety and operational efficiency.

The FAW Tiger VH right-hand-drive cabin offers excellent visibility, ergonomic controls, and a comfortable driving environment suitable for African fuel transport operations. With its strong structural durability, dependable tank integrity, and professional-grade LPG delivery equipment, this vehicle is an exceptional solution for LPG distribution companies and industrial gas suppliers that require reliable daily operation.
