375-Horsepower Engine: Power to Perform, Efficiency to Save
At the heart of this Aircraft refueling truck lies a 375-horsepower turbocharged diesel engine, specifically calibrated for the unique demands of heavy aviation fuel transport. Delivering 1,800 Nm of torque at 1,200-1,800 rpm, Fuel tanker the engine ensures tank wagon the Aircraft refueling truck can accelerate smoothly even when fully loaded with 15,000 liters of fuel—critical for merging onto highways or positioning quickly on busy aprons.Fuel tanker Unlike underpowered competitors that struggle with heavy loads,Fuel tanker this engine maintains consistent performance, Fuel tanker cutting apron positioning time by 20% compared to 300-horsepower Aircraft refueling trucks.
Fuel tanker The engine’s efficiency is equally impressive: it achieves 28L/100km fuel consumption during highway travel (at 80km/h) and 35L/100km during apron operations—12% more fuel-efficient than similar heavy-duty Aircraft refueling trucks. This translates to annual fuel savings of over $5,000 for fleet operators running 100,000 km per year. Additionally, Fuel tanker the engine meets Fuel tanker Euro V emissions standards (with an optional Euro VI upgrade) tank wagon and features a variable-geometry tank wagon turbocharger that adapts to high-altitude conditions—ensuring full power output at airports like Lhasa Gonggar (3,570m) or Denver International (1,655m), where thinner air reduces the performance of standard engines Fuel tanker .
tank wagon Mated to a 9-speed manual transmission (with optional automatic), the engine delivers seamless power across all speed ranges.tank wagon The transmission’s low gears provide precise control for slow apron maneuvering, tank wagon while its overdrive 9th gear reduces engine RPM by 22% at the Aircraft refueling truck’s maximum speed of 90km/h—lowering noise, reducing wear, tank wagon and improving highway fuel efficiency tank wagon .
15,000L Tank: Aviation-Grade Fuel Storage & Purity
The 15,000-liter fuel tank is the centerpiece of this Aircraft refueling truck, engineered to meet the strictest aviation standards for fuel containment and purity. tank wagon Constructed from 16MnDR pressure vessel steel (certified to ASME BPVC Section VIII),tank wagon the tank features 8mm-thick walls that resist deformation even under full load. tank wagon Its interior is coated with a 3-layer epoxy-phenolic lining—chemically resistant to Jet A-1, JP-8, tank wagon and Avgas—preventing fuel contamination from rust or metal particles that could damage aircraft engines tank wagon.
