The Sinotruk HOWO 12000 litre milk transport truck is a 4x2 chassis vehicle designed for reliable, temperature-controlled transport of milk and other sensitive liquids across Central Africa’s challenging rural and unpaved routes. Built on a Sinotruk HOWO chassis with a 290 HP engine and 6-speed manual gearbox, it carries 10 cubic metres of product in a food-grade stainless steel tank with 80 mm polyurethane insulation to maintain cold chain integrity. The truck is equipped with a CIP cleaning system, front and rear sprinklers, and a rear working platform with a 360-degree rotating water cannon for site safety and hygiene.
