Last month, a cross-border logistics transportation company in Djibouti contacted us and ordered a batch of SINOTRUK HOWO 6 × 4 tractors. The boss has been doing transportation business in Africa for more than ten years, mainly transporting containers and bulk cargo from Djibouti Port to Ethiopia and surrounding industrial areas. This time, he also listened to the introduction of his peers and wanted to try switching to Howo's tractor.
The basic configuration of this batch of HOWO tractor is a 6 × 4 drive form, equipped with Weichai engine, and the gearbox adopts China National Heavy Duty Truck HOWO series technology. It is classic, mature, reliable in quality, and has strong load-bearing capacity. The saddle is JOST brand, the tire specification is 12.00R20 steel wire tires, the whole vehicle has 10 tires, and the oil tank capacity is 400L. The endurance is sufficient to cope with long-distance travel on customers' daily transportation routes.
The frame adopts a reinforced frame with strong load-bearing capacity and good torsional performance. Jibu mentioned that some sections of the road in Addis Ababa have been in disrepair for a long time, and the fatigue life of the frame is greatly tested by the long-term crushing of heavy-duty containers. The customer said that his previous European used car had a soft chassis and the main beam began to crack after two years of use. The reinforced frame of HOWO tractor is a very good choice under heavy load conditions.

The driver's cab of this batch of HOWO tractors has undergone insulation treatment, with an average temperature of 37 ℃ during the hot season in Djibouti and a maximum temperature of over 45 ℃. If the cab is not insulated, the driver cannot bear to stay inside for a day. The air conditioning system also enhances the cooling effect and can maintain a comfortable temperature in the driver's cabin even in high temperature environments. The customer said that his driver travels thousands of kilometers back and forth to Addis Ababa, and spends the night on the road in between. The comfort of the cab directly affects the driver's work efficiency.
At present, this batch of HOWO tractors has been loaded onto the ship and is expected to arrive in Djibouti within 30 days.
