HOWO Special Truck
China's SINOTRUK Special Trucks: A Key Engine for Urbanization and Sustainable Development in Zimbabwe.
In Zimbabwe, from municipal engineering in Harare to tourism maintenance in Victoria Falls, from mine firefighting in Chinhoyi to cross-border fuel transportation in Beitbridge, China National Heavy Duty Truck Corporation (Sinotruk) SINOTRUK special trucks have become the key engine to support urban governance, livelihood protection and industrial upgrading with their specialization, intelligence and localization services. The “invisible guardian” supporting urban governance, livelihood protection and industrial upgrading. Whether it is to cope with drought and energy crisis, or to accelerate the process of infrastructure and environmental protection, SINOTRUK’s special trucks such as sprinklers, tankers, mixers, garbage trucks and truck cranes are redefining the efficiency and reliability of Zimbabwe’s public services.

Sprinklers: A Lifeline Against Drought and Dust Storms
Municipal Sanitation and Fire Emergency
– Cities such as Harare are experiencing a five-fold increase in the dry season dust pollution index and a surge in respiratory illnesses caused by road dust.
– Rural areas (e.g. Masvingo, Masvingo province) lack water for firefighting and are at high risk of wildfires spreading.
– Bulawayo City Hall: After the introduction of 10 sprinklers, the PM2.5 concentration in the urban area dropped by 45% and the fire response time was shortened to 15 minutes.

High-pressure double pump system
Intelligent water-saving technology
Tanker trucks: “Safety guards” to break the bottleneck of energy transportation
Transportation of Fuel and Liquid Materials
– Zimbabwe relies on imported fuel for 70% of its fuel, and cross-border transportation from Beitbridge to Harare is prone to frequent leakage accidents.
– Conventional tanker trucks lack explosion-proof design, which makes oil transportation in mining areas a potential safety hazard.
– Harare Petroleum Company case: 20 sets of tanker trucks annual transportation loss from 3% to 0.5%, saving $500,000 in costs.

Multi-scene Adaptation
Concrete Mixer Trucks: “Mobile Factories” for Infrastructure Frenzy
Large-scale Engineering and Livelihood Infrastructure
– Harare New Parliament Building Project: 1200 cubic meters of concrete are poured daily, which requires a very high attendance rate of vehicles.
– Rural road hardening projects (e.g. **Gweru Gweru to Chivu Chivu) face the problem of insufficient coverage of mixing stations.

Garbage Trucks and Truck Cranes: The Golden Partner in Urban Governance
Garbage Removal and Resource Recovery
Chinoy Municipal Council: 8 garbage trucks serving a population of 150,000, waste accumulation rate reduced from 30% to 5%.
Efficient compression ratio (6:1)
Quiet operation design
Truck-mounted crane: a multi-functional tool for logistics and emergency response
In the 2024 Chimanimani Chimanimani flood, 6 sets of truck-mounted cranes were involved in road clearing and material delivery, saving the property of 300 households.
