Major Client from Mali Visits Aorun's Yiwu Office; Remotely Selects HOWO 4x2 Sprinkler Trucks via Video Link to the Liangshan Base

AORUN | 2026-6-5

In our Yiwu office—an environment characterized by both comfort and convenient access—clients from Mali met face-to-face with our foreign trade documentation team to review the terms governing international foreign exchange settlements, consolidated logistics for small commodities (via LCL/LTL shipping), and transnational multimodal transport to landlocked West African destinations (specifically via transit through the ports of Dakar, Senegal, or Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire).

Holding a high-definition mobile camera, a senior technical engineer at the Liangshan production base provided a real-time, lag-free tour of the precision assembly line for sprinkler trucks to clients located far away in Yiwu. From the fully automated welding process utilizing specialized tank fixtures to the intricate piping layout for high-power centrifugal sprinkler pumps, every technical detail—previously difficult to access or observe—was displayed to the clients in high definition. This approach significantly spared the clients the rigors of cross-city travel, thereby maximizing supply chain transparency.

The tank body (typically with a rated capacity of 5,000 to 10,000 liters) is constructed from high-quality Q345B high-tensile carbon steel plate, formed in a single pass using a fully automated, heavy-duty plate-rolling machine. Internally, multiple heavy-duty, double-curved baffles are welded in place—strictly adhering to structural mechanics principles—to effectively dissipate the transient surge impact of the liquid when the vehicle travels over unpaved roads or applies its brakes, thereby maintaining a low and stable center of gravity for the entire vehicle.

After traversing the Atlantic Ocean, the cargo vessel docks at the ports of Dakar (Senegal), Abidjan (Côte d'Ivoire), or Conakry (Guinea). Upon arrival, following expedited customs clearance, Aorun’s long-standing partner—a cross-border trucking fleet in West Africa—transports the cargo via a "drive-away" method; traveling smoothly along major international logistics corridors, the vehicles proceed to customs checkpoints in Mali for final delivery to the client.

Q: What tangible benefits does Aorun’s "Front Office, Rear Factory" digital video link service offer to us—overseas buyers?

A: Many of our major clients in Africa maintain long-standing operational hubs in places like Yiwu and Guangzhou, where they handle foreign exchange settlements and consolidate shipments of general merchandise. Leveraging our international trade hubs established in Yiwu, Guangzhou, and Jinan, Aorun enables clients to finalize critical contracts right within these major commercial centers—without the need to spend days traveling by long-distance bus all the way to Liangshan County. Furthermore, this service is complemented by real-time, zero-latency 3D video streaming directly from the factory floor. Clients can, at any moment, request an engineer to zoom in on specific details—such as chassis beam welding seams or engine operational status—thereby ensuring both commercial convenience and rigorous factory-level quality inspection go hand in hand.

Q: Are spare parts for the 4x2 HOWO water sprinkler truck readily available for routine maintenance and repairs locally in Mali?

A: HOWO is a premier Chinese brand in the light and heavy-duty truck sector, boasting an exceptionally large installed base across West Africa—including Mali. In major local truck spare parts markets and repair workshops—such as those in Bamako—components for the 4x2 model (including oil filters, diesel filters, brake pads, water tank pumps, and piping) are widely available. Local mechanics are highly proficient in the technical intricacies of this specific chassis, making routine maintenance and repairs completely hassle-free. Additionally, Aorun provides a complimentary emergency kit containing a set of high-frequency, fast-wearing original spare parts bundled free of charge with every vehicle delivered.
