Agriculture and Poultry Logistics

HOWO day old chicks and milk transport trucks carry live poultry and fresh dairy products on Sinotruk HOWO 4x2 chassis, with insulated compartments, cooling systems and cleaning devices designed for the temperature and hygiene demands of agricultural logistics

The Problem

Pain Points in This Sector

Chicks dying from heat stress during long hauls in tropical climates without reliable cooling
Milk spoiling due to inadequate insulation and temperature control during delivery
Fleet operators using converted trucks that lack proper sanitation and cleaning systems
Chick transport vehicles with no internal baffles causing instability on rough rural roads
Lack of standardised compartment sizes leading to inconsistent load distribution and weight imbalance
No on-site maintenance support for cooling units or tank cleaning systems in remote areas
