At the heart of this tanker lies the Longqing DDi75 350HP diesel engine, a masterpiece of power and efficiency. Generating 350 horsepower and an impressive 1,400Nm of torque at 1,200-1,800rpm, this engine delivers exceptional performance across all operating conditions:
Common Rail Injection System: Operating at 2,000 bar, this system ensures precise fuel delivery, optimizing combustion for maximum power and efficiency. The result is a remarkable 29L/100km fuel consumption rate—15% more efficient than comparable 8x4 tanker trucks.
Advanced Turbocharging with Intercooler: Provides instant throttle response and enables the tanker to climb 20% gradients at 30km/h even when fully loaded, ensuring reliable performance in mountainous regions.
Euro III/IV/V Compliance: Optional upgrades available to meet the strictest emission standards, making the tanker suitable for operation in environmentally sensitive regions worldwide.
Paired with a 14-speed Fast Gear manual transmission, the engine delivers seamless power delivery across all gears. The transmission’s close-ratio design ensures optimal power distribution for both highway cruising (85km/h top speed) and low-speed maneuvering in tight loading areas. The overdrive gear reduces engine RPM by 18% at cruising speeds, extending engine life and reducing fuel consumption.
The tanker’s 30-cubic-meter tank is a testament to precision engineering and safety. Constructed from high-strength Q345R steel, it features:
Robust Construction: 8mm-thick tank walls with a 6mm epoxy resin anti-corrosion lining, tested to withstand 18,000 kPa of pressure—ensuring safe transport of a wide range of liquids, from gasoline and diesel to light chemicals.
Modular Compartment Design: Configurable into 2-3 independent compartments with separate loading and unloading systems, allowing simultaneous transport of different liquids (e.g., gasoline and diesel) without cross-contamination.
Efficient Loading/Unloading:
Top-loading system with 2x DN150 aluminum manholes equipped with flame arresters and spring-loaded anti-spill caps, compliant with API RP 1004 standards.
Bottom-discharge system featuring 2x DN100 stainless steel ball valves and a high-capacity 6,500L/min centrifugal pump, enabling complete unloading in just 7.5 minutes.
Anti-slosh Baffles: Six strategically placed internal baffles reduce liquid surge by 70% during braking and acceleration, enhancing stability and reducing the risk of rollovers.
Emergency Shut-off System: Fully automated system that can instantly stop the pump and close all valves in the event of an emergency, either from the cab or via a 150m-range remote control.
The Tianlong’s performance is underpinned by its robust chassis components:
13-Ton Front Axle + 16-Ton Rear Axles: Forged from high-strength alloy steel, these axles are engineered to handle extreme loads while maintaining durability and reliability.
Advanced Suspension System: 9-leaf front and 12-leaf rear spring suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers, reducing vibration by 45% compared to standard systems and ensuring a smooth ride even on rough terrain.
12R22.5 Tubeless Tires: 20PR-rated radial tires with 20mm deep treads, providing exceptional traction in all weather conditions and a lifespan of 350,000km—reducing tire replacement costs by 25% over standard tires.
Safety is a core priority in the design of the Tianlong 30CBM Tanker Truck, which comes equipped with a suite of advanced safety features:
Active Safety Systems:
ABS + EBD + ASR: Integrated system that prevents wheel lockup, optimizes braking force distribution, and reduces wheel slip during acceleration, enhancing control in all conditions.
360° Camera Monitoring System: Four high-definition cameras provide a complete view of the tanker’s surroundings, eliminating blind spots and facilitating safe maneuvering in tight spaces.
Lane Departure Warning (LDW): Alerts the driver via audible and visual signals if the tanker drifts out of its lane without signaling, reducing the risk of collisions.
Passive Safety Features:
Static Grounding System: 6m copper grounding cable with quick-connect clamp, preventing static electricity buildup and minimizing the risk of sparks during loading and unloading.
Fire Suppression System: Dual 10kg dry powder extinguishers and an automatic under-tank foam suppression system, activated by heat sensors to quickly extinguish fires.
