The largest isothermal van in our project fleet: 7.5 metres long and 2.7 tall, almost 43 m³. Two Euro pallets fit across the width — that is 18 pallet places on the floor. The third axle spreads the load, so the truck carries 15 tonnes without risking an axle overload. The wall panel is 80 mm and the roof 100 mm, insulated with extruded polystyrene. The floor is anti-slip transport plywood with a 400 mm kerb. The body is designed for a refrigeration unit to be added later: when needed it becomes a full reefer.

HOWO T5G — A SKYSCRAPER TRUCK! 43 m³, 15 TONNES
FAQ
FAQ about the HOWO T5G insulated van
So you can carry 15 tonnes without hitting the axle limit. On a two-axle truck the limit arrives before the space in the body runs out: the volume is there but you may not load it. The third axle spreads the weight evenly — at 43 m³ that is essential, otherwise half the cubic metres would go unused.
Eighteen pallet places on the floor: the internal width takes two Euro pallets on their long sides. Stacked two high the figure doubles — the real capacity depends on whether your cargo can be stacked.
Walls are 80 mm, the roof 100 mm. Most heat is lost through the roof: in summer it bakes in the sun, in winter it radiates heat upward. Adding two centimetres to the roof alone is cheaper than thickening the whole body, and the difference in heat loss is noticeable. The insulation is extruded polystyrene: dense, low in conductivity and unafraid of moisture.
Yes, the body is designed for it: the 80/100 mm panel is rated for sub-zero duty, so only the unit and evaporator need fitting. For 43 m³ we pick from the senior range — Carrier or Elinge С5.
Doors take the worst of it: they get washed, scraped and hit by road salt. Glass fibre does not rust from salts and needs no touch-up paint. The hardware is galvanised — four hinges and two locks per leaf, with the rear portal clad in stainless steel. Outside the body is skinned in white metal; on request we build a fully glass-fibre skin, which adds years to the body life.
The truck currently has a three-step ladder, and for loading from the ground that is not enough: the body really is high. The standard answer is a tail-lift, which mounts on the same rear portal. If you work from a dock, the height works in your favour instead: the body floor lines up with the warehouse platform.
The chassis is versatile: on it we build a flatbed, dry freight body, an insulated one as in this project and a full reefer. We match it to the cargo type and the budget.
COND is a factory with its own WMI manufacturer code, so we issue the full set of conversion paperwork and the entry in the vehicle passport.
