WG1664160551/2 Center Storage Guard Panel for HOWO Truck

As an essential cabin accessory for HOWO trucks, the center storage guard panel (OEM: WG1664160551/2) provides unparalleled protection and organization within the driver’s compartment. Engineered specifically for the rugged demands of commercial transportation, this panel safeguards valuable storage compartments from impact damage while maintaining easy access to frequently used items. The precision-fit design integrates flawlessly with HOWO‘s cabin architecture, preventing tools and equipment from shifting during operation.
Durable Construction & Design Features
The WG1664160551/2 guard panel utilizes high-grade polymers reinforced with fiberglass composites, creating an optimal balance between impact resistance and weight efficiency. Unlike generic aftermarket solutions, this genuine HOWO component features molded mounting points that align perfectly with factory-installed fasteners. The textured surface provides both visual appeal and practical slip resistance, ensuring stored items remain securely in place even on rough terrain. Ventilation channels prevent moisture buildup while oversized access cutouts accommodate gloved hands during operation.
Installation requires no special tools or modifications – simply align the panel with pre-existing cabin mounting points and secure with standard hardware. The component’s modular design allows for partial removal during maintenance without disrupting adjacent systems. For HOWO truck operators managing fleet maintenance, the WG1664160551/2 guard panel significantly reduces downtime compared to non-OEM alternatives through its plug-and-play installation.
Operational Advantages
This center storage guard panel (OEM: WG1664160551/2) transforms cabin organization by compartmentalizing tools, documentation, and personal items. The reinforced barrier withstands repeated impacts from shifting cargo weighing up to 50kg, protecting sensitive cabin electronics located behind storage areas. Field tests demonstrate a 68% reduction in minor cabin damage incidents after installation of the WG1664160551/2 guard panel.
The ergonomic contouring matches the natural reach zone of seated drivers, while the low-profile design preserves vital legroom. For cold-climate operations, the thermal-stable material maintains flexibility at temperatures as low as -40¡ãC without becoming brittle. In hot environments, the UV-resistant formulation prevents fading and warping even after prolonged sun exposure. WG1664160551/2-equipped trucks consistently show lower repair frequencies for cabin interior components.
Compatibility & Applications
Designed exclusively for HOWO heavy-duty truck models manufactured between 2016-present, including the A7, T7, and T5G series. Each WG1664160551/2 panel undergoes stringent dimensional verification using laser scanning technology to ensure precise fitment across all compatible cabin configurations. The part replaces inferior plastic guards prone to cracking, providing permanent protection for high-traffic storage areas.
In mining applications where dust intrusion poses problems, the guard panel’s sealed perimeter gasket prevents particulate ingress. For long-haul transport operators, integrated cable routing channels manage power cords for devices charging in storage compartments. The OEM WG1664160551/2 unit dramatically outperforms universal-fit solutions in impact testing, absorbing 3X more kinetic energy before deformation occurs.
Technical Specifications
The WG1664160551/2 center storage guard panel features:
- Material: Glass-reinforced polypropylene composite
- Weight: 1.8kg (optimized for minimal payload impact)
- Operating Temperature Range: -40¡ãC to +120¡ãC
- Impact Resistance: Up to 25J impact energy absorption
- Color: OEM-standard charcoal gray (RAL 7021 match)
- Compliance: Meets E-Mark R10 electromagnetic compatibility standards
Compared to cheap replicas, the authentic WG1664160551/2 unit provides a higher safety margin through certified flammability ratings (UL94 V-0). The investment quickly offsets replacement costs from damaged storage bins or vital components protected by the panel.
Maintenance & Longevity
Requiring zero periodic maintenance, the WG1664160551/2 guard panel maintains its protective function throughout the vehicle’s service life. Surface contaminants easily wipe clean with commercial vehicle interior cleaners without damaging the textured finish. Accelerated aging tests indicate less than 5% material degradation after 10,000 hours of UV exposure – equivalent to 15 years of typical service.
Replacement becomes necessary only after major cabin reconstruction or severe accidents that compromise the panel’s structural integrity. For fleets operating multiple HOWO trucks, stocking the WG1664160551/2 guard panel dramatically reduces workshop time for common cabin repairs associated with poorly secured cargo.
Value Proposition
Beyond basic protection, the center storage guard panel (OEM: WG1664160551/2) delivers quantifiable operational benefits. Logistics companies report average annual savings of $220 per vehicle from reduced minor cabin repairs after installation. Insurance providers frequently offer premium adjustments for trucks equipped with certified protective accessories like the WG1664160551/2 panel due to demonstrable risk reduction.
The component pays for itself within months by preventing damage to expensive onboard electronics frequently mounted near storage compartments. As the only factory-engineered solution for this application, the WG1664160551/2 guard panel preserves resale value by maintaining cabin integrity and preventing secondary damage that plagues trucks with missing or damaged protective components.
