Description

This is a SINOTRUK HOWO 4×2 flatbed cargo truck, an export-specialized model. It is a highly versatile vehicle for short and medium-distance freight in the African market. Painted in a striking engineering yellow for high visibility, it is suitable for transporting building materials, general goods, equipment, agricultural supplies and many other types of cargo. It features the classic wide single-berth HOWO cab, with the signature HOWO front grille and the CNHTC logo. Combined externally mounted rear-view mirrors and blind-spot mirrors deliver a wide field of vision and reduce blind zones. The sturdy headlamps can be fitted with stone guards on request to protect against flying debris at construction sites. The cab comes with shock-absorbing suspension and an air conditioning system for comfortable long-distance driving. Left-hand drive or right-hand drive can be customized to comply with the regulations of the destination country. It is powered by a proven 371 HP mechanical pump engine. It has excellent tolerance to local African fuel, low failure rates, widely available spare parts locally and easy maintenance. Matched with an original SINOTRUK manual transmission, it provides smooth power delivery and abundant torque for reliable performance when starting under heavy load and climbing slopes. With a 4×2 two-axle configuration, the truck has a reinforced high-strength alloy steel frame for solid load capacity. It is equipped with a large-capacity aluminum alloy fuel tank to extend driving range and cut refuelling stops. The cargo bed is welded from heavy-duty wear-resistant steel plates with reinforcing ribs for anti-deformation strength. The side rails can be opened and removed for convenient and flexible loading and unloading. It is fitted with 275/80R22.5 heavy-duty tubeless tires and leaf spring suspension, enabling stable travel on dirt roads, gravel roads and unpaved rural tracks. Red-and-white side protective rails are installed to meet overseas safety standards. With a simple, robust structure and low maintenance costs, it is a popular choice for urban delivery and short-haul transportation at construction sites across Africa.
