7 HOWO special purpose truck models built for buyers in Kenya.
Buyer Background
Kenyan municipal authorities, water utilities, waste management contractors, and agricultural logistics operators sourcing heavy-duty special purpose trucks
Operators in remote and semi-arid regions requiring durable vehicles for daily water delivery, waste collection, and material transport
Fleets operating on rough terrain, unsealed roads, and high-temperature environments with limited access to spare parts and technical support
Project Challenge
Lack of locally available, reliable special purpose trucks suited to harsh Kenyan operating conditions
Imported vehicles with mismatched tank sizes, insufficient pump power, or non-serviceable components
High maintenance costs due to foreign parts not stocked locally or requiring long lead times
Inadequate tank design for dust suppression, manure suction, or milk transport without contamination risk
Delays in delivery and repair caused by poor after-sales support and no local technical presence
Customer Pain Points
Water tankers that cannot refill from open sources like rivers or ponds due to lack of self priming pumps
Garbage trucks with low compaction capacity that require multiple trips per day
Milk tankers without insulation or cleaning systems leading to spoilage and contamination
Dump trucks with weak tipping bodies that fail under repeated heavy loads
Septic trucks with weak suction pumps that cannot handle thick sludge in remote areas
Our Solution
HOWO chassis-based special purpose trucks built to withstand rough terrain and high ambient temperatures
Custom tank volumes from 6000 to 16000 litres matched to local operational needs and road weight limits
Self priming pumps and suction systems for water and septic trucks to fill from open sources
Insulated and cleanable milk tankers with multi-compartment design and heat preservation
High strength steel tipping bodies and compactor systems with Siemens PLC control for reliable operation
Free customization of tank colour and logo to match fleet branding and visibility requirements
Manufacturing Process
Production based on customer technical drawings and specifications for each truck model
Assembly on 16 dedicated production lines with precision welding and structural alignment
Use of carbon steel and stainless steel tanks with internal baffles to reduce liquid surge
Installation of manual gearboxes with 5 to 10 shifts depending on chassis model and load requirement
Integration of pumps, spray bars, hose reels, and compaction systems during final assembly
Final vehicle testing including pressure, leak, and functional checks before delivery
Supply Chain Coordination
Production completed at ChengLi Automobile Industry Park, Suizhou City, Hubei Province, China
Shipped from China main ports via Ro-ro, bulk ship, or container depending on truck size and destination
Trade terms available: EXW, FOB, CFR, CIF to support flexible procurement arrangements
Lead time of 30 days after advance payment received, with larger models potentially taking longer
Full testing and documentation provided before shipment, including photos and videos of the truck
Quality Control
100 percent testing before delivery, including physical and chemical tests on tank materials
Pressure tests and non-destructive testing for A2 and C2 pressure vessel projects
Heat treatment and flaw detection conducted in dedicated on-site rooms
ISO 9001-2008, ISO 14001, OHSAS 18001, ASME, EU ADR, 3C, and GJB9001B-2009 certifications in place
Testing equipment includes over 200 sets for material and structural validation
All trucks undergo functional checks on pump, spray, compaction, and hydraulic systems
