480HP X5000 SHACMAN 6x4 Lightweight Tractor Truck Euro 5 Container Haul Unit

X5000 6x4 Lightweight Tractor Head, 480HP Euro 5

This X5000 lightweight 6x4 tractor head, model SX42584Y344C, runs the ISZ480 51 engine at 480HP to Euro 5, matched with an SF16JZ240A gearbox in an aluminium housing, QHG50C power take off and FHB400 hydraulic retarder. The lightweight version exists for one reason: every kilogram taken off the tractor is a kilogram available for the container on the trailer, and container hauliers are paid by the box, not by the chassis.
