HOWO 4X2/6X4/8X4 /371HP/ 380HP 400HP 300HP Aircraft Refueling Truck Aircraft Fuel Transportation

4×2 Aircraft Refueler Truck

(Airport Jet Fuel Dispensing Vehicle)

1. Product Positioning

The 4×2 Aircraft Refueler Truck is a medium-capacity aviation fuel service vehicle engineered for safe aircraft refueling, rapid apron maneuverability, and controlled fuel quality management.

This unit combines transport, filtration, metering, and dispensing into one integrated system, specifically designed for aviation turbine fuel operations such as Jet A-1 distribution.

It is optimized for airports requiring operational flexibility, low operating cost, and high fuel integrity assurance.
