The seat is one of the most important comfort components for any truck driver or passenger. A well designed passenger unit reduces fatigue and improves safety during long journeys. This genuine HOWO passenger seat is specifically engineered for the right side of the MAX 4X2 tractor cab.
When you choose authentic Howo Parts, you receive a chair that matches the original factory specifications in terms of mounting points, upholstery, and adjustment mechanisms.
The passenger seat is a complete seating unit designed for the front passenger position. This chair features a high density foam cushion that provides support for long hours of riding without causing pressure points. The backrest is contoured to follow the natural curve of the spine, promoting good posture and reducing back strain. The upholstery is made from heavy duty fabric or vinyl that is resistant to abrasion, stains, and UV fading. The passenger chair is equipped with a mechanical suspension system that absorbs road vibrations, isolating the occupant from chassis movement.
The unit slides forward and backward on a rail system, allowing passengers of different heights to find a comfortable position. The backrest can be tilted forward to allow access to storage behind the chair or to create more space when parked. The seating assembly includes a three point seat belt with a retractor mechanism that meets ECE R16 safety standards.
The mounting base is reinforced to withstand the forces of a collision, and all attachment points are designed to work with the existing rails in the HOWO MAX 4X2 cab.

This passenger chair is shaped to support the natural curves of the human body, reducing pressure on the lower back and hips. The high density foam retains its shape even after years of use, and the breathable upholstery helps keep the occupant cool and dry during long trips.
The passenger unit is fully compliant with ECE R16 and FMVSS 207 safety standards. The integrated three point seat belt and sturdy mounting base ensure that the passenger is securely restrained during sudden braking or collision.
The chair slides forward and backward on a robust rail system with multiple locking positions. The backrest tilts forward for easier cabin access or storage. These adjustments allow passengers of different sizes to find a comfortable position.
This seating assembly bolts directly into the existing mounting holes of the HOWO MAX 4X2 cab. No drilling or modifications are required. The rails and belt anchors match the factory layout, making replacement quick and straightforward.
The passenger chair is built with a steel frame that is welded and powder coated to resist corrosion. The foam cushion is made from high resilience polyurethane with a density of 45 kg/m³, providing a balance of softness and support. The upholstery is available in two options: durable woven fabric or easy clean vinyl, both treated with a UV inhibitor to prevent fading and cracking.
The backrest includes a steel anti submarining pan that prevents the occupant from sliding under the belt in a crash.
The headrest is integrated into the backrest and is height adjustable on some versions. The armrest is optional but can be ordered separately. The suspension uses steel coil springs and rubber isolators to dampen vibration, reducing fatigue.
Before starting, disconnect the battery ground cable and remove any floor mats. Unbolt the existing chair from its rails using a 13mm socket. Lift the unit out and disconnect the seat belt wiring (if equipped). Clean the mounting area thoroughly.
Position the new passenger chair so that the four mounting feet align with the threaded holes in the floor. Install the original bolts or use new M8 grade 10.9 bolts with a torque of 25 Nm. Connect the seat belt buckle wiring harness if present.
Reinstall the floor mats. Test the adjustment mechanisms to ensure smooth operation. Do not operate the vehicle until the belt is verified to latch and release correctly.
This passenger chair is designed for all HOWO MAX 4X2 tractors with standard cab or sleeper cab. It fits both left hand drive and right hand drive configurations, with the unit always positioned on the passenger side relative to the driver.
It is not compatible with the driver side due to different rail spacing and belt anchor locations. For older HOWO 70 series trucks, check the floor mounting pattern, as some models use different hole spacing.
To keep the passenger unit in good condition, clean the upholstery regularly with a mild soap solution and a soft brush. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Vacuum the crevices to remove dust and debris. Check the seat belt retractor for proper operation every six months.
Lubricate the slide rails with a dry silicone spray if they become stiff. If any stitching comes undone, repair immediately to prevent tearing. The foam cushion may compress over many years; if it becomes too hard, replacement foam can be ordered separately.
If the chair does not slide easily, clean the rails and apply a dry lubricant. If the backrest does not lock in position, inspect the tilt mechanism for debris or damage. If the seat belt does not retract, remove the belt and clean the retractor mechanism with compressed air.
Do not disassemble the retractor; replace it if necessary. If the upholstery is torn, a professional automotive trimmer can repair it. For any structural damage, replace the entire passenger unit with a genuine HOWO part.
Aftermarket passenger chairs often lack proper certification for crash safety. The foam may be lower density, causing discomfort on long journeys.
The mounting points may not align correctly, requiring modifications to the cab floor. The fabric or vinyl may fade quickly under African sunlight. Genuine HOWO units are built to the exact safety and durability standards of the original vehicle.
The fitment is perfect, the materials are automotive grade, and the chair meets all regulatory requirements. Investing in a genuine passenger unit ensures the safety and comfort of your passenger and protects your vehicle’s resale value.
The passenger chair is designed with long distance comfort in mind. The cushion thickness is 100mm at the center, providing excellent pressure distribution.
The side bolsters keep the occupant centered during cornering. The backrest angle is adjustable through a range of 15 degrees,
allowing the passenger to find a relaxed position. The foam has a memory effect that conforms to the occupant’s shape but returns to its original form after leaving. The unit is also compatible with aftermarket covers and heating pads if additional warmth is required.
The passenger chair is manufactured in an ISO 14001 certified facility. The foam contains no CFCs or HCFCs and is recyclable. The steel frame is made from recycled content where possible. The upholstery fabric is Oeko Tex certified, free from harmful substances.
The unit complies with ECE R16, FMVSS 207, and other applicable regulations. Using genuine HOWO parts helps maintain your vehicle’s compliance with safety laws in Nigeria and other African countries.
This passenger chair can be ordered using the material encoding YZ167151000023. The unit is supplied fully assembled with the belt and rails. Authorized HOWO dealers in Nigeria stock this genuine passenger seat. For bulk orders of five or more units, volume discounts are available.

Fleet owners who have installed this passenger chair report that their co drivers and passengers are noticeably more comfortable during long journeys. The vibration damping is particularly appreciated on rough roads. The easy cleaning of the vinyl upholstery saves time between shifts.
Many operators have replaced worn original units with this genuine chair, restoring the cab to like new condition. The direct fitment reduces workshop time and labor costs.
The passenger chair is shipped in a heavy duty cardboard box with foam inserts to protect the upholstery and belt mechanism. The box dimensions are 70cm x 60cm x 45cm, weight 18 kg
. Store the unit indoors in a dry area, away from direct sunlight.
Do not stack other items on top of the box. If storing for a long period, cover the chair with a breathable fabric to prevent dust accumulation. The unit should be kept in an upright position to avoid deforming the foam.
