DR Congo Client Conducts Site Visit, Selects Haohan 6x4 Tractor Unit

AORUN | 2026-5-14

Minerals (such as copper and cobalt) from the interior of the Democratic Republic of the Congo require extensive overland transport to reach the seaports of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania or Durban in South Africa for shipment. This journey traverses a challenging terrain—comprising complex unpaved laterite roads, steep gradients, and long-distance highways—that places extreme demands on vehicle powertrain performance and chassis durability.

The Haohan 6x4 tractor unit is equipped with a high-horsepower Weichai engine—a highly proven solution in the African market—and a high-torque Fast transmission. This mechanical powertrain configuration significantly reduces the incidence of electronic failures, enabling easy maintenance and repairs even in the remote mining regions of Lubumbashi.

Equipped with a 16-ton class cast-steel rear axle featuring wheel-side reduction, the vehicle's ground clearance and self-extrication capabilities are significantly enhanced, making it perfectly suited for the muddy, heavy-load starting conditions encountered during the rainy season in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Q: How are Haohan tractor units shipped to the Democratic Republic of the Congo?

A: We typically ship the vehicles to the Port of Dar es Salaam in Tanzania or the Port of Lobito in Angola; customers then handle customs clearance and overland transit to destinations within the DRC, such as Lubumbashi.

Q: What wear-and-tear parts does Aorun supply for Haohan models?

A: We can provide a range of high-frequency wear parts—including original equipment oil filters, diesel filters, air filters, brake pads, and fan belts—shipped alongside the vehicle to ensure uninterrupted fleet operations.

Q: What options are available for inspecting the vehicles if we are unable to visit China in person?

A: No problem at all! You can schedule a high-definition video call through any of Aorun’s business centers located in Guangzhou, Yiwu, Jinan, Jining, or Abuja (Nigeria). Our engineers will then conduct a comprehensive 360-degree physical vehicle walkthrough and engine start-up test live from our factory in Liangshan.
