When referring to the rear axle, nobody seems to deny its importance apart from the engine among truck spare parts. The rear axle plays significant roles in load bearing, driving and braking. Choosing a matching axle can not only make trucks have a high performance, but also help drivers reduce the fuel consumption. In conclusion, it is critical for drivers to get to know the axle.

    The mainstream axle for HOWO truck was ST16, HC16, AC16 and MCY series, ST16 and HC16 was developed base on Steyr technology, AC16 was product acoordingly Benz technology and MCY series axle was cooperated with MAN. Among those axles, ST16 and HC16 was very popular to assembled on HOWO trucks for exporting. Because:

1. They were all assembled by DOUBLE reducer, MAIN reducer + wheel reducer, as there is wheel reducer, so the bever gear and crown gear measurement was minified, increase ground clearance.

2. Strengthen the section of axle housing, use punching welding steel and casting steel, improve the axle load.

3. The single rated axle load was 16000KG.

4. The steyr axle parts has HIGH commonality, since Steyr axle was assembled widely on the Chinese brand truck, like HANDE 13Ton axle of Shacman truck, LB300 axle on FAW truck, also assembled on Genlyon truck.
