The chassis is based on the MAN technology platform and features an all-steel, integrally welded cab. The most popular export model for Africa is the extended flat-roof version (flat-roofs are standard for tankers, though high-roof options are available). Customization for Left-Hand Drive (LHD) or Right-Hand Drive (RHD) is supported to comply with regulations in different countries.

I. Exterior Structure and Safety

1. **Shell:** Constructed from high-strength steel plate via integral stamping and welding with localized reinforcement, offering high torsional rigidity. Features thermal and acoustic insulation, making it suitable for long-distance transport of hazardous chemicals.
2. **Suspension System:** Four-point hydraulic suspension with four hydraulic shock-absorbing supports; provides excellent shock absorption on rough roads and reduces driver fatigue during long-haul trips. The cab features a manual hydraulic tilt mechanism for convenient engine maintenance.
3. **Windshield:** Laminated tempered glass for high safety; offers a wide field of view to minimize blind spots. Wiper and rearview mirror layouts are adjusted accordingly for RHD export versions.
4. **Rearview Mirrors:** Split-type combination mirrors (main mirror + wide-angle blind-spot mirror), providing ample visibility for reversing and monitoring the sides of the tank.
5. **Entry Steps:** Three-tier anti-slip steps with perforated treads, ensuring safer entry and exit in rainy weather or at construction sites.
6. **Bumper:** Thickened steel bumper for impact resistance; headlight protective grilles are standard on refurbished export vehicles.
