Review of the HOWO V750L 4×2 6.3-Meter Light-Duty Truck
Review of the HOWO V750L Cab Exterior
Spacious T3M Cab
The HOWO V750L features a T3M cab with a maximum width of 2,080 mm, among the widest in its segment, and a height of 1,420 mm. These dimensions provide a spacious environment for drivers, making the truck particularly suitable for transportation journeys that require extended driving hours.
The cab’s effective interior width reaches 1,760 mm, providing drivers with a roomy and comfortable environment on long-distance routes, as well as space to rest and relax while waiting for cargo loading. In addition, the seat can be adjusted forward to expand the resting surface. When unfolded, the cushioning surface measures up to 52 cm, combined with the folded-down seat surface, allowing the usable resting area to extend to nearly 1 meter.
Exterior Features
The cab features an aerodynamic design with a streamlined roof, improving operational efficiency and reducing fuel consumption. The front bumper assembly is up to 50 cm high, making it easier to navigate rough roads, mountain passes, steep slopes, and mountainous terrain.
The windshield measures up to 1,780 mm wide, providing excellent visibility, reducing blind spots, and expanding the driver’s field of view to enhance safety. The upper section of the windshield features a tinted area to reduce glare and help prevent discomfort for the driver.
The rear of the cab features a convex design similar to those found on heavy-duty trucks. This distinctive design is unique among current light-duty trucks. It increases the interior space of the cab while providing additional deformation space and reinforced stamped ribs. These structural features improve cab rigidity in the event of a collision, particularly when the cargo body shifts forward, helping provide better protection for the occupants.
The HOWO V750L is equipped with large, two-tier side mirrors featuring electric adjustment and a heating function. These premium features are typically found only on heavy-duty trucks, making the HOWO V750L the only model in its segment to offer this equipment. The four mirrors can be adjusted independently in both the upper and lower sections, on the left and right sides. Combined with a passenger-side tire-view mirror and a front-view mirror, this system significantly reduces blind spots and provides a wider field of vision than many other trucks on the market.
Other exterior features of the HOWO V750L include:
Two-step access ladder: Designed to suit the average stature of Vietnamese drivers, with anti-slip plastic covers for improved safety.
Two roof-mounted lights: One on each side of the cab.
Bumper-integrated steps: Designed to make getting in and out of the cab more convenient.
Lighting system: Halogen turn signals, LED daytime running lights, halogen bi-beam headlights, halogen fog lights, and halogen marker lights.
Lighting controls: Automatic headlight switch, headlight beam angle adjustment knob, and light sensor button.
Overall, the HOWO V750L’s design focuses on visibility, cab space, and driver-assistance features that support convenient and safe operation.

One notable feature is its relatively wide torque band. Peak torque is available from 1,400 rpm and maintained up to 2,300 rpm, supporting the truck during take-off, acceleration, and cargo transportation.
The engine uses an intake and turbocharging system optimized according to the manufacturer’s design. A centrifugal cooling fan is also fitted to help maintain the engine’s operating temperature under various driving conditions.
Review of the HOWO V750L Gearbox
The HOWO V750L uses a SINOTRUK HW95508STC gearbox with 8 forward gears and 2 reverse gears. This two-range gearbox features synchronizers and a range-shift mechanism.
The gearbox can handle torque of up to 950 Nm and has a maximum gear ratio of 9.1. Combined with the engine’s 480 Nm of torque, this configuration provides a range of gear ratios to suit various operating conditions.
Another notable feature is the gearbox oil change interval of up to 80,000 km. However, actual maintenance schedules should follow the manufacturer’s technical guidelines and the truck’s operating conditions.
Review of the HOWO V750L Chassis, Axles, and Suspension System
Cold-Pressed Chassis
The HOWO V750L features a chassis formed through a single cold-pressing process, with no weld joints in the main structure. The frame is reinforced at key points based on CAE calculations and real-world testing. This design aims to improve resistance to bending and torsion while maintaining chassis rigidity during operation.
Front and Rear Axles
The truck is equipped with:
Front axle: Sinotruk 5-ton axle.
Rear axle: Sinotruk 9.5-ton axle.
The rear axle has been upgraded to deliver 20% greater torque transmission capacity than conventional axle designs. The specified rear axle maintenance and oil change interval is up to 120,000 km.
Suspension System
The front suspension uses a 9-leaf spring pack combined with hydraulic shock absorbers and a stabilizer bar. The rear suspension features a 9+12-leaf spring pack with rubber pads beneath the springs to help absorb road vibrations.
This configuration is suitable for a truck that regularly transports cargo and operates on various road surfaces.
Review of the HOWO V750L Safety Systems
The HOWO V750L is equipped with several systems designed to support vehicle control and braking, including:
Four-channel ABS.
ASR traction control to help limit wheel spin during acceleration.
Automatic brake shoe clearance adjustment on both the front and rear axles.
Exhaust brake to assist when driving downhill.
Drum-type parking brake.
Three aluminum alloy air tanks with a combined capacity of approximately 33 liters.
The four-channel ABS independently controls each wheel, while ASR helps reduce wheel spin during acceleration.
These features are particularly valuable for trucks that regularly transport cargo in urban traffic or travel on sloping roads.
