Dongfeng 12 m³ Water Bowser for Kenya
Built for practical water work rather than headline tank size: this Dongfeng 4×2 bowser combines a nominal 12 m³ Q235B tank with a 60QZ-90 pump for road washing, dust suppression, landscape irrigation and non-potable site delivery. Final load, steering side and spray equipment are confirmed to the project.
Core capabilities in operation
Parameters are translated into practical working results. Any estimate depends on the listed operating conditions and is not a performance guarantee.
| Parameter | Working result | Calculation conditions | Factors that change the result |
|---|---|---|---|
| Nominal 12 m³ tank | Supports route-based water planning without presenting nominal volume as guaranteed legal payload. | Coverage area = usable water volume ÷ planned application rate; road length = coverage area ÷ working spray width. | Legal axle load, usable fill, application rate, spray width, speed, gradient and repeat passes. |
| 60QZ-90 pump, 40–60 m³/h source-listed flow | Provides a configurable water-transfer and spraying system for wash and dust-control duty. | Final pump curve, plumbing, nozzle package and engine speed are confirmed in the technical schedule. | Suction conditions, water cleanliness, hose losses, valve layout and maintenance. |
| 12–16 m source-listed spray width | Can cover a broad road surface in one pass when the selected nozzle and pressure setup achieves the listed range. | Spray package operating at its approved pressure on a suitable road. | Nozzle choice, pressure, wind, vehicle speed and road geometry. |
| Dongfeng 4×2, 3,950 mm wheelbase | Suited to general road, municipal and maintained worksite access where a compact two-axle layout is appropriate. | Route and axle loading accepted for the filled vehicle. | Road surface, turning space, gradient, seasonal access and final body layout. |

- Controls and visibility: Pneumatic ball valve and arrow warning lights, selected per order
- Rear layout: Alternative rear platform, confirmed against the signed specification
Configuration options and trade-offs
- Tank volume versus legal payload: Use the nominal 12 m³ volume for configuration; confirm the permitted usable fill after chassis and axle review.
- Steering side: Right-hand drive is required for normal Kenya road use but is not verified by the source record.
- Spray package: More circuits and controls add capability but also add maintenance points and quotation cost.
- Emission configuration: The destination-compatible emission standard must be selected and documented per order.
Operating fit
Suitable conditions
- Road washing on paved or maintained access roads
- Construction and quarry-road dust suppression
- Landscape irrigation and non-potable worksite delivery
Not recommended for
- Potable-water service without project-specific hygiene materials and approval
- Fire-engine duty or unverified emergency-service use
- Routes where filled axle loads, bridge limits or road access have not been checked
- Off-road 4×4 duty
Built around the route, not the tank badge
This Dongfeng 4×2 water bowser is configured around a nominal 12 m³ Q235B tank and a 60QZ-90 pump for road washing, construction and quarry-road dust suppression, landscape irrigation and non-potable site delivery.
Usable fill, right-hand-drive chassis, axle loading, emissions and selected spray equipment are confirmed in the signed technical schedule. Send the route, water source, daily coverage target and destination port for configuration.
Verification and support
Vehicle data is mapped from the source product record. Final payload, steering side, emissions, selected equipment, documents and destination-market compliance must be confirmed in the signed technical schedule.
