Sinotruk HOWO 25 Cubic Meter Foam Fire Truck – High-Performance Heavy-Duty Firefighting Vehicle for Industrial and Urban Emergency Response

This advanced firefighting vehicle, the Sinotruk HOWO 25 cbm foam Fire Truck, is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of modern emergency services across urban, industrial, and remote environments. Designed with a robust 8x4 chassis configuration, it delivers exceptional mobility, stability, and load capacity—making it ideal for large-scale fire incidents where continuous operation and high-efficiency suppression are critical. With a total water tank capacity of approximately 21,000 kg and a dedicated foam reservoir holding up to 4,000 kg, this heavy-duty tender ensures extended operational endurance without frequent refills.

Key features include a powerful MC11.43-61 diesel engine producing 319 kW (435 hp) compliant with Euro 6 emission standards, offering both environmental compliance and reliable performance under full load. The manual mechanical transmission with 12 forward gears and 1 reverse gear allows precise control in complex terrains, while the hydraulic braking system enhances safety during rapid deployment or heavy-duty maneuvers. Equipped with a dual-row cab accommodating six personnel and featuring air conditioning, this unit supports crew comfort during prolonged missions—an essential factor for maintaining alertness and effectiveness in high-stress scenarios.

The vehicle’s dimensions—approximately 11,990 mm long, 2,550 mm wide, and 3,560 mm tall—optimize maneuverability within city limits while providing ample space for integrated firefighting systems. Its curb weight of around 17,200 kg and gross vehicle weight of roughly 42,450 kg reflect a well-balanced design that maximizes payload without compromising handling. The wheelbase of 1950+4600+1400 mm contributes to superior traction and stability, particularly when navigating uneven surfaces or responding to emergencies in challenging conditions such as forests, ports, or chemical plants.

This foam fire engine excels in delivering consistent pressure output through its fire pump, rated at 100 liters per second at 1.0 MPa. The dual-function fire gun can spray either pure water or foam mixture, achieving ranges exceeding 75 meters for water and over 70 meters for foam—ideal for reaching elevated flames or distant ignition points. These capabilities make it suitable not only for structural fires but also for flammable liquid spills, oil refineries, and hazardous material incidents where quick containment is vital.

Common applications span municipal fire departments, petrochemical facilities, mining operations, port authorities, and forest fire management units worldwide. Whether deployed in dense urban areas requiring rapid response or in isolated regions needing sustained suppression efforts, this vehicle proves indispensable due to its combination of power, range, and versatility. It meets international standards for emergency response vehicles and is built to withstand extreme temperatures, dust exposure, and repeated use in demanding situations.

Customer feedback highlights its reliability during real-world deployments, especially in high-pressure scenarios involving prolonged operations or difficult access routes. Operators praise the intuitive layout of controls, the durability of the chassis, and the ease of integrating onboard equipment like monitors, pumps, and storage compartments. Maintenance teams appreciate the modular design that simplifies inspections and repairs, reducing downtime between missions—a crucial advantage for public safety agencies operating on tight schedules.

While some users initially note the learning curve associated with mastering the advanced foam mixing system, comprehensive training provided by the manufacturer helps bridge this gap efficiently. The warranty policy covers major components including the engine, transmission, chassis frame, and fire suppression systems, ensuring peace of mind for buyers investing in long-term fleet readiness. Support extends beyond hardware, with ongoing technical guidance available to help operators maximize efficiency and ensure compliance with local fire codes and safety regulations.

In summary, the Sinotruk HOWO 25 cbm foam fire truck stands out as a premium solution for emergency services seeking a balance of raw power, strategic reach, and operational sustainability. Its proven track record in diverse environments—from metropolitan fire stations to offshore platforms—makes it a trusted asset for any organization committed to protecting lives, property, and infrastructure from catastrophic fire events.
