The part is the official engine identification tag for the SINOTRUK MC series diesel engines, specifically designed for export-market HOWO MAX 4X2 tractors. This part provides essential engine information, including model designation, serial number, power rating, and emission certification. When you choose authentic Howo Parts, This part guarantees correct identification and compliance with local regulations. Below is the detailed description of the key component included with This part.
The engine nameplate is the primary identification plate for the MC series engine, carrying The part designation for international markets. This part is manufactured from anodized aluminum or stainless steel with laser engraved or embossed characters that will not fade, peel, or corrode over time.
The part is riveted to the engine block or cylinder head in a clearly visible location. It contains critical information such as the engine model code (e.g., MC13.51 61), the unique serial number, rated power output (kW/hp), displacement, and emissions conformity code (Euro 5 or Euro 6). The part also includes the manufacturer’s name, country of origin, and barcode for electronic tracking.
This part is essential for parts ordering, warranty claims, and regulatory inspections. For export vehicles, The part may also display additional compliance marks for specific regions (e.g., ECE R49, EPA/CARB certifications). The part is permanently affixed and must not be removed or tampered with under any circumstances. If the original MC export Nameplate becomes damaged, illegible, or lost, replacing it with a genuine HOWO MC export Nameplate is critical to maintain the vehicle’s identity and legal compliance.

The part contains all necessary emissions certification codes, making it easier for operators to demonstrate compliance with local regulations. This part is particularly valuable for vehicles operating in regions with strict environmental controls.
This part is the exact replacement for the original plate supplied on SINOTRUK engines destined for international markets. Ordering This part ensures that the engine identification matches factory records and service documentation.
The part serves as the primary reference for engine identification across the entire service life of the vehicle. It provides the engine serial number, which is used by dealerships to order correct replacement parts, by workshops to diagnose specific engine configurations, and by authorities to verify the engine’s origin. The part also includes the engine model designation, which helps technicians select the correct service procedures from the workshop manual.
When ordering a replacement MC export Nameplate, it is essential to match the original engine serial number and model code exactly. A missing or damaged MC export Nameplate can lead to delayed parts orders, incorrect component matching, and potential legal issues during vehicle registration or export. For fleet operators, maintaining a legible MC export Nameplate on each vehicle simplifies asset tracking and ensures that all units are correctly identified in maintenance records.
Installing a new MC export Nameplate is a straightforward procedure. First, clean the mounting area on the engine block or cylinder head thoroughly with a degreaser to ensure proper adhesion. Remove the old MC export Nameplate by carefully drilling out the rivets with a 3mm drill bit. Position the new MC export Nameplate over the existing mounting holes, aligning it with the original location and orientation.
Secure The part using new blind rivets (not included) of the same size (typically 3.2mm diameter, 6mm grip range). Press the rivets with a hand rivet tool. Ensure The part is flat against the engine surface and does not obstruct any moving parts. After installation, verify that the information on The part (serial number, model, power rating) matches the vehicle’s documentation. A correctly installed MC export Nameplate will remain secure for the life of the engine.
If The part becomes illegible due to corrosion or physical damage, it must be replaced immediately. A faded MC export Nameplate can be difficult to read, but if the characters are still embossed, it may be possible to restore legibility by rubbing a soft pencil over the surface. If The part has fallen off, inspect the mounting rivets;
they may have broken due to vibration. Replace with new rivets when installing the new MC export Nameplate. If the serial number on The part does not match the vehicle registration documents, contact the dealer with proof of ownership to obtain a corrected MC export Nameplate. Never attempt to alter or deface The part, as this is illegal in many jurisdictions. A missing MC export Nameplate can cause delays during border crossings or technical inspections.
The part does not require routine maintenance, but it should be inspected during each major engine service (every 100,000 km). Check that The part is securely attached and that all characters remain legible. If The part shows signs of corrosion at the edges, it may be replaced as a precaution.
Keep the area around The part clean and free from oil or debris that could obscure the information. If the engine block is repainted, mask The part to avoid covering the text. A well maintained MC export Nameplate ensures that the engine’s identity remains clear for future service and resale purposes.
This part is specifically designed for SINOTRUK MC series engines, including the MC11 and MC13, used in HOWO MAX 4X2 tractors, SITRAK C7H, and HOWO T7H trucks destined for export markets.
The part fits all production years from 2018 onward. The plate dimensions and rivet hole positions are standardized across the MC series, making This part a universal replacement for all export spec MC engines. This part is not compatible with older WD615 or D10 engine series, which use a different plate design and mounting location. Always verify your engine serial number and model before ordering This part.
A counterfeit or aftermarket MC export Nameplate may not contain the correct emissions codes or serial number format, which can lead to the vehicle being flagged as non compliant during regulatory inspections. Some copy plates are made from inferior materials that quickly become illegible, creating long term identification problems. Genuine HOWO MC export Nameplate components are manufactured to SINOTRUK’s exact specifications, using the correct font sizes, material grades, and engraving depth.
The small additional cost of a genuine MC export Nameplate is insignificant compared to the potential fines or operational delays that can result from having incorrect or unreadable engine identification. For fleet operators, using a genuine MC export Nameplate on every engine ensures consistency in record keeping and simplifies warranty claims, as the manufacturer can easily verify the engine’s authenticity and service history. By investing in a genuine MC export Nameplate, owners maintain the full traceability and value of their HOWO MAX 4X2 tractor.
