The HOWO 12 ton compact garbage truck is a 4x2 rear-loading compactor built on a Sinotruk HOWO chassis for municipal sanitation departments and waste contractors operating in urban centres, industrial zones, ports, and high-density residential areas. It is designed to reduce collection cycles, prevent spillage and odour release during transport, and meet European emission standards for urban operation. The truck handles daily waste collection with a 14 cubic metre compaction body and a hydraulic system that compresses waste in under 30 seconds per cycle.
