Shipment of Howo 6x4 tractor trucks to Rwanda completed.

Core technical specifications tailored for long-haul and mountainous operations in Rwanda: 1. High-altitude, high-torque power and optimized steep-slope climbing. Rwanda features high average elevations and rugged mountain roads, placing demanding requirements on power for heavy-load climbing. High-altitude power tuning: Equipped with a Sinotruk/Weichai high-pressure common-rail diesel engine and an exhaust turbocharging system, effectively mitigating engine power loss caused by thin air at high altitudes. Low-speed, high-torque output: The engine delivers peak torque within the low RPM range of 1,000–1,400 RPM; combined with the HW-series multi-speed transmission featuring a high gear ratio, this ensures smooth starts and efficient climbing on continuous steep slopes while fully loaded. 2. Extended range for cross-border trunk routes and braking safety. High-capacity dual fuel tank configuration: Designed for the 1,000+ km cross-border logistics routes from Mombasa or Dar es Salaam to Kigali, the vehicle is equipped with large-capacity aluminum alloy fuel tanks, reducing the need for expensive refueling stops en route and improving fleet transport efficiency. Highly reliable auxiliary braking: Standard features include EVB (Engine Valve Brake) and a dual-circuit pneumatic braking system, providing continuous, controllable braking force on long descents; this significantly reduces brake pad wear and thermal fade, ensuring safety when driving downhill in mountainous terrain.

II. Bulk Carrier "Under-Deck Stowage" and Maritime Anti-Corrosion Protection

To protect the vehicles from corrosion caused by salt spray and humidity during the long voyage across the Indian Ocean, the logistics team implemented a high-standard under-deck protection plan:

[Under-Deck Moisture Protection] --> All vehicles stowed in enclosed under-deck holds to eliminate exposure to seawater spray.

[Anti-Corrosion Sealing] --> Application of salt-spray-resistant protective wax to chassis and drivetrain components; moisture-proof sealing of air lines and electrical connectors.

[Heavy-Duty Lashing & Chocking] --> Use of wire rope tensioners and wheel chocks to prevent shifting caused by rough seas.
