Howo Mining Dump Truck Fuel Consumption | 6×4 & Wide-body Mine Tipper L/100km

1. Howo 6×4 371/400 HP Mining Tipper (Common 8-wheel model, load ~25 tons)

• Fully loaded, uphill & rough mine dirt road: 38～45 L/100km

• Fully loaded on flat mine access road: 33～38 L/100km

• Empty return trip: 24～30 L/100km

• Combined round trip (half loaded, half empty): 30～35 L/100km

2. Heavy-duty Howo Off-highway Wide-body Mining Dump Truck (70-ton class, MC11 engine)

• Full load, steep slopes, frequent start-stop: 45～55 L/100km

• Gentle haulage roads in mine: 40～45 L/100km

In actual mine sites, fuel consumption often exceeds 50 L/100km. Steep gradients and frequent braking & acceleration are the main causes of high fuel use.

Key Factors Affecting Fuel Consumption

1. Gradient: Fuel consumption rises sharply with more uphill sections

2. Load: Overloading significantly increases fuel use

3. Working condition: Frequent start-stop and long idling raise fuel consumption

4. Vehicle condition: Clogged air filter, insufficient tyre pressure, poor engine maintenance will increase fuel consumption
