Howo trucks have become a mainstay in the local market, primarily due to the following competitive advantages:
Significant Market Share: In Tanzania’s new vehicle market, Chinese brands account for a whopping 70% of the overall market, with Sinotruk and FAW being the leading brands with the highest market share. In the dump truck segment, the Howo series holds over 80% of the market share among Chinese brands exported to Africa.
Defeating Used European Brands: Howo’s main competitors in Tanzania are not new European trucks, but rather the long-standing market dominance of used Volvo, Scania, and Mercedes-Benz models. Howo has successfully captured a significant market share from these used trucks thanks to its highly competitive pricing (high cost-performance ratio) and durability better suited to local road conditions.
Clear Product Advantages: Howo trucks utilize mature Steyr engine and chassis technology, Volvo cab technology, and MAN rear axle technology, ensuring performance and reliability. Furthermore, the vehicle design emphasizes fuel economy, and relying on Sinotruk’s local parts warehouse and service network, maintenance costs are relatively low.
