Truck selection guide
X3000 for long-haul transport: configuration selection
Compare X3000 4×2 and 6×4 tractor columns that describe high-grade highways, including power options, axle ratios and fuel tanks.
These are public manufacturer option columns, not individual vehicles, stock offers or confirmed combinations. An engine list, power range and wheelbase list in one column must not be combined into an invented specification.
Compare the published configuration columns
The selected columns expose relevant differences. Read the operating-duty notes below before treating any column as a candidate.

GVW and GCW identify the manufacturer's vehicle or combination weight columns. They are not payload figures, an allowable road load or a registration approval for your destination.
These columns do not establish a complete body specification, body volume or verified net payload. Confirm body dimensions, volume, installation weight and the resulting axle loads for the actual order.
Technical values retain the source wording and units. Slash-separated entries are options; hp and PS are not interchanged. A blank field does not mean a feature is absent.
What changes the selection
- The two 4×2 columns list 340–480 hp and 400–480 hp, with 600 L and 700 L tank options respectively. The 6×4 comparison lists 340–480 hp and 700 L.
- The first 4×2 column lists 3600/3800 mm wheelbases. Wheelbase is not displayed for the other two selected columns; a matching dimension must be obtained for the proposed vehicle.
Confirm before requesting a quotation
- Provide route profile, intended cruising speed, trailer type and load description for powertrain matching.
- Confirm axle ratio, final wheelbase, fifth-wheel arrangement and tractor–trailer compatibility.
- Request the exact fuel, emission and destination compliance documentation; a family option list is not approval.
The quotation must identify the exact model, chosen options, body or trailer, destination and supporting compliance documents. Price, availability and delivery time require a separate confirmation.
