The braking system combined with full-air ABS, drum brake with S-cams and automatic slack adjusters, and exhaust brake all contribute to the ease of driving and safety on and off the road. All of this, contributes to better performance without compromising cost of operation. The forward-tilting cab has been designed with driver and passenger safety, and comfort in mind, as well as easy access for maintenance. Comfort features include air-conditioning and radio with MP3 and USB connection. A large windscreen and angled side windows, together with large proximity mirrors and curb-side mirrors, offer exceptional visibility. The heavy-duty air-suspension driver seat with height adjustable control, movable and telescopic steering column, and inertia-type driver and passenger seat belts, make the driver’s ‘office’ even more comfortable. For added convenience, the tubeless radial tyres (315/80 R22.5 18PR) can be inflated via a tyre inflation pipe directly from the air-tank. The FAW 33.340FD 6x4 15,5 m³ Hub Reduction Tipper promises to get good support from the market. With remarkable interest already received from both the construction and mining sectors for various applications.
