Since the beginning of 2026, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (CNHTC) has been on a roll, achieving significant batch deliveries in Shandong and Henan provinces. Its robust product strength and efficient service system have earned high market recognition, resulting in frequent successes in both regions. This strong start to the new year lays a solid foundation for high-quality development throughout the year, including growing interest in Howo Tanzania from East African markets.
A major event in Shandong: 60 Howo TX natural gas trucks head to the front lines of logistics.
Recently, 60 Howo TX natural gas trucks were officially delivered to a major customer in Guanxian County, Shandong Province. The vehicles, adorned with red ribbons and lined up neatly, are ready to be deployed to the front lines of transportation, injecting strong momentum into the high-quality development of the western Shandong logistics hub. The success of this delivery further demonstrates the global appeal of the Howo brand—a key reason why Howo Tanzania is becoming a preferred choice for local logistics operators.
The Howo TX gas-powered trucks delivered this time are equipped with Weichai high-efficiency gas engines, achieving a thermal efficiency of 54.16%, and feature exclusive S-IEC intelligent gas control technology, saving approximately 3 kg of fuel per 100 kilometers. Utilizing MAN technology for lightweight chassis and axles to optimize weight, they allow customers to compliantly carry more and earn more. The flat-floor, spacious cab, combined with four airbags and a 900mm ultra-wide sleeper berth, creates a “mobile first-class cabin” driving experience. Safety features such as AEBS, ESC, and 360-degree imaging further enhance safety. These same advanced features are highly sought after in the Howo Tanzania market, where durability and fuel efficiency are critical.
Furthermore, relying on China National Heavy Duty Truck Group’s “Family Service” system, with over 1200 service stations nationwide, 24-hour parts supply response, and the remote diagnostic function of the “Smart China National Heavy Duty Truck” APP, the trucks provide full life-cycle support for efficient operation. Such a robust service network is exactly what CNHTC aims to replicate for Howo Tanzania customers, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity.
A New Chapter in Henan: 50 Sinotruk TIR Cross-border Transport Trucks Embark on a New Journey.
On February 24th, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (CNHTC) Henan Branch, together with local dealers, held a batch delivery ceremony for the first batch of 50 center-axle TIR cross-border transport vehicles in Henan. This is a significant achievement for CNHTC in its deep cultivation of the cross-border logistics market and a core demonstration of the brand’s high-end strength. Meanwhile, in East Africa, Howo Tanzania continues to gain traction among cross-border freight companies linking Tanzania with neighboring countries.
The Sinotruk SIG SDI (SITRAK) center-axle TIR cross-border transport vehicle precisely meets the core operational needs of cross-border logistics users, winning over customers with its high-end quality and superior reliability. Its custom-designed configuration for extreme environments and compliant, efficient loading design safeguard cross-border transportation. Furthermore, its 485 cross-border service stations covering Asia and Europe, and 24-hour global service hotline for cross-border joint warranty service, completely break down after-sales barriers in cross-border operations. CNHTC SIG SDI has won high customer recognition with its comprehensive product and service capabilities. This same global support philosophy is being extended to Howo Tanzania through dedicated local distributors and service partners.
This joint effort by CNHTC’s Howo and SIG SDI brands, gaining continued customer recognition, is the best testament to CNHTC’s product quality, technological strength, and service system, and a vivid practice of the philosophy that “customer satisfaction is our goal.” In 2026, China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (CNHTC) will continue to unite its efforts and forge ahead to help the logistics industry achieve green and efficient development and cross-border trade connectivity, leading the commercial vehicle market with its core strength—with growing attention on Howo Tanzania as a key regional growth driver.
