HOWO 12m³ 6-Ton LPG Bobtail Tanker Truck

The 12m³ 6-ton LPG Bobtail Tanker Truck provided by TWL is a fully integrated mobile LPG transportation and refueling solution. Built with a high-strength Q345R pressure vessel, reliable pumping and metering systems, and multi-layer safety protection, this truck is ideal for industrial gas supply, LPG station replenishment, remote-area delivery, and on-site refueling. It offers a safe, efficient, and cost-effective way to manage bulk LPG logistics.

HOWO 12m³ 6-Ton LPG Bobtail Tanker Truck

The 12m³ 6-Ton LPG Bobtail Truck from TWL—also known as an LPG tanker truck, propane bobtail, autogas bowser, or LPG dispenser truck—is a specialized commercial vehicle engineered for the safe transportation and on-demand refueling of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). This model combines a high-pressure Q345R steel tank, LPG pump, metered dispensing system, and advanced safety controls into one mobile platform, enabling both bulk delivery and direct refueling operations.

Powered by a 160HP Euro 3–compliant engine and equipped with heavy-duty 9.00R20 steel radial tires, the truck delivers reliable performance in long-distance transportation and high-demand industrial environments. The vehicle’s safety system meets NFPA 58 and ASME standards and includes emergency shutoff valves, pressure relief devices, leak detection sensors, and backflow prevention components.

Designed for versatility, the truck can operate efficiently in urban, rural, industrial, and remote locations. It provides dependable LPG supply for gas stations, factories, warehouses, forklift fleets, off-grid households, emergency energy deployment, and mobile fueling services. High-flow dispensers, precision metering, and automatic shutoff nozzles ensure fast, accurate, and safe refueling at every job site.

The modular design allows compatibility with different chassis brands (Isuzu, Volvo, Foton, etc.) and supports tank sizes ranging from 10 to 20 m³. Optional IoT telematics enable real-time tank level monitoring, route management, and predictive maintenance. With dual-phase liquid/vapor systems, fast-connect couplings, and anti-corrosion epoxy-phenolic tank lining, this LPG bobtail truck delivers both durability and future-ready energy flexibility.

Advantages

1. Dual-Purpose Operation

· Combines bulk LPG transportation and on-site refueling in one vehicle.

5. All-Terrain and Multi-Environment Performance

· Reinforced chassis, ABS braking, and heavy-duty tires support stable operation on city roads, rural terrain, industrial sites, and mountainous areas.

6. Modular and Scalable Configuration

· Supports interchangeable tank sizes (10–20 m³) and multiple truck chassis brands.
· Allows flexible fleet expansion and simplified long-term asset management.

7. Smart Fleet Management (IoT-Ready)

Optional telematics system enables:
· Real-time LPG level monitoring
· GPS route optimization
· Driver behavior analysis
· Predictive maintenance
This greatly improves fleet efficiency and reduces operating costs.

8. Cost-Efficient and Eco-Friendly

· Reduces fuel and logistics costs by 20–30%.
· Produces lower CO₂ emissions and minimal particulate matter, meeting Euro III environmental standards.
