  • Enhanced braking systems for steep downhill operations
  • Custom chassis reinforcement for 60-ton payload capacity
  • Compliance with South American emission standards (Euro V equivalent)

Our team completed technical specifications confirmation within 7 working days, followed by production line adjustments at the SINOTRUK factory.
