M2433 6×4 Dry Powder and Foam Fire Truck with 380hp
The M2433 is a 6×4 dry powder and foam fire truck on the SINOTRUK HOWO ZZ5347V4347D5 chassis, built for brigades that meet both flaming liquid spills and pressurised gas fires. A 380hp engine moves a 34000 kg permitted load, and the combined agent system pairs a 500 kg dry powder charge with the foam circuit. The headline figure is the pump: 100 L/s from the Shanghai CB10/100-XZ unit.
Power reaches the ground through a double cabin with four doors, a 4325 + 1350 mm wheelbase and a top speed of 90 km/h. The chassis itself weighs 9400 kg, leaving the balance of the 34000 kg rating for agent, water and crew. A 12.00-20 tyre set and a turning diameter below 18.6 m keep the vehicle usable on tightly built industrial roads.
The cab seats a crew of six in a 1 + 1 + 4 arrangement. The rear row carries four SCBA racks, so breathing apparatus rides with the team instead of sitting in a locker. Drivetrain detail includes an inline six-cylinder, water cooled, turbocharged and intercooled engine, a 420 mm single dry clutch and a China IV emission rating. The monitor is a PL64 with a 64 L/s flow.
The PL64 is fed from the tank through a dedicated line, so the crew can lay a foam blanket without running hose to a hydrant first. Combining dry powder with foam covers the two failure modes of a tank fire: the visible flame and the vapour space above the liquid. Ports, wharves and petrochemical plants value that reach because a single appliance may answer a spill and a fire on the same call.

Where it fits
Fits municipal brigades covering industrial belts, plus petrochemical, port and wharf fire teams that need one appliance for both powder and foam attack. The dry powder charge settles gas and electrical risks that water alone cannot address.
