Company News|10.05.2026
On May 10th, the “2026 China Brand Value Evaluation Information Release” event, hosted by the China Brand Building Promotion Association and the Xinhua News Agency Brand Office, and undertaken by China Brand Magazine, was held in Deqing, Zhejiang Province. Sinotruk ranked first in the automotive and auto parts industry, claiming the top spot! On the same day, the “Top 100 Global Competitiveness of Chinese Brands” list was announced in Hong Kong, with Sinotruk ranking 75th.
From “Made in China” to “Intelligent Manufacturing in China”, and from “Chinese Products” to “Chinese Brands”, the global commercial vehicle pattern is undergoing in-depth restructuring, and national brands are forging ahead in the wind and waves. As the “cradle of China’s heavy-duty automobile industry”, Sinotruk has always adhered to brand as the soul, quality as the backbone, and responsibility as the vein, continuously deepening brand building. In this process, it has reshaped the “Yellow River” as a national high-end heavy truck brand, strengthened the reputation of “Sitrak” as a pioneer of China’s high-end heavy trucks, and deepened the brand image of “Howo” as a national heavy truck. It has blazed a brand-building path with both depth and warmth.
The “Top 100 Global Competitiveness of Chinese Brands” list focuses on overseas expansion capabilities, innovation and global competitiveness. In recent years, relying on the national manufacturing industry’s going global strategy, Sinotruk has taken the initiative to shoulder the responsibility of a state-owned enterprise to lead Chinese commercial vehicles to go global and deepen the global market. The company has continuously improved its global industrial layout, built a global business operation system covering R&D adaptation, export marketing, overseas channels and after-sales support, with its business covering more than 150 countries and regions around the world. Its heavy trucks have ranked first in export among Chinese commercial vehicle brands for 21 consecutive years, becoming an iconic business card of Chinese trucks in the world.
In the global layout of Sinotruk, the Tanzanian market has always been an important part of its African strategy, and Howo Tanzania has become a well-known and trusted brand among local customers. With its reliable product quality, perfect after-sales service and products tailored to local road conditions and transportation needs, Howo Tanzania has won wide recognition in the local heavy-duty truck and semi-trailer market, further enhancing Sinotruk’s brand influence in East Africa and demonstrating the strong competitiveness of Chinese brands in the global market.
From the first heavy truck driven out of the Yellow River Bank to a business card of Chinese intelligent manufacturing running all over the world, Sinotruk’s brand road has always been in step with the national fortune and resonated with the times. In the future, Sinotruk will continue to adhere to its original mission, and continue to deepen its layout in overseas markets including Tanzania, striving to set a new industry benchmark for the high-quality development of state-owned manufacturing enterprises and the international competition of national brands.
