Nigerian Client Visits Aorun Factory | Orders HOWO 6x4 Tipper 371HP

AORUN | 2026-4-16

Accompanied by Aorun engineers, the Nigerian clients toured the state-of-the-art production line for dump truck bodies. The tour covered every stage of the process—from the CNC cutting of high-strength steel plates and automated robotic submerged arc welding, to rigorous shot blasting for rust removal and the multi-layer paint baking treatment. The clients personally inspected and felt the 8mm-thick high-strength steel floor plates, expressing their complete confidence in the durability of Aorun’s cargo bodies to withstand the impact of large granite blocks in Nigeria.

Operating conditions in Nigeria are characterized by distinct features: high temperatures, routine overloading, and—in certain regions—unstable diesel fuel quality. The HOWO 6x4 371-horsepower variant addresses these pain points with pinpoint precision—a capability that constitutes the very "soul" of this vehicle. Its 371-horsepower WD615 engine, featuring a purely mechanical fuel pump, demonstrates exceptional tolerance for poor-quality diesel; it is highly robust and resistant to damage, while simultaneously delivering explosive power. Even when starting from a standstill under a full load on the steep, red-soil slopes surrounding Abuja, it performs with absolute confidence and ease.

In Nigeria, HOWO commands an exceptionally high market share. Spare parts—such as filters, brake pads, and clutches—for the 371-horsepower model are readily available throughout the auto parts markets in Lagos; moreover, any roadside mechanic can perform basic maintenance with their eyes closed, thereby ensuring an exceptionally high operational uptime for vehicle fleets.

The 16-ton class wheel-side reduction axle provides the vehicle with exceptional ground clearance and torque amplification capabilities, engineered specifically for extreme recovery situations on unpaved terrain.

Shipping heavy equipment to Nigeria requires not only reliable logistics but also an absolute mastery of local customs clearance regulations.

The Aorun team provides clients with a comprehensive logistics solution involving direct Roll-on/Roll-off (RO-RO) transport from Chinese ports (Qingdao/Shanghai) to Nigeria’s Port of Apapa or Tin Can Island.
