About the Howo Max Prime Mover 480HP Single Reduction Manual
The Howo Max Prime Mover 480HP is the strongest truck head Patison sells. A Sinotruk MC13H engine built on MAN technology produces 480 horsepower through a sixteen speed gearbox, enough to pull a fully loaded 65 tonne trailer, and it carries a VOITH retarder for controlled descents.

A retarder is a brake that slows the truck using the driveline instead of the wheel brakes. On the long descents into the Rift Valley, or down from the highlands towards Mombasa, that is the difference between arriving with your brakes intact and arriving with a problem. The Max high roof sleeper cab sits on air suspension, so a driver working the corridor for days at a time can actually rest.
This is the model for operators running at the top of the legal weight limit, day in and day out. Patison supplies it to order and matches it to your trailer. Financing is available from a 5% deposit through our partner banks with repayment up to 72 months, and every truck includes a 2 year or 100,000 kilometre warranty, free driver training at handover and a free first service.
