Product Overview
The Right Hand Drive SINOTRUK HOWO 8x4 Dump Truck is specifically engineered for African market requirements. With right-hand steering configuration, tropical cooling system, and heavy-duty components, this truck is the ideal solution for construction and mining operations in Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda, and other RHD markets.
The WD615.56 engine produces 380 HP at 2200 rpm with 1600 Nm of torque, providing ample power for African road conditions and terrain. The engine is optimized for high-temperature operation with a 52L copper radiator, enlarged oil cooler, and tropical air intake system designed for ambient temperatures up to 55°C.
The RHD configuration uses a ZF8118 hydraulic power steering unit mounted on the right side, with all pedals and controls configured for right-hand driving. The cabin features a right-side dashboard with all instruments and controls within easy reach of the right-hand driver.
The 8x4 chassis is built to withstand rough African road conditions with reinforced frame, heavy-duty leaf springs, and protected underbody components. The HC16 double rear axles with wheel reduction provide maximum traction on unpaved haul roads. Air filter with cyclone pre-cleaner extends service intervals in dusty conditions.
The cargo box is a 25CBM reinforced design with 20mm thick high-strength steel, suitable for the diverse range of materials hauled in African construction and mining. The HYVA hydraulic lifting system is widely supported across Africa with service centers in major cities.
This truck is shipped with a comprehensive spare parts package including filters, belts, brake pads, and common wear items for the first 10,000 km of operation. Technical documentation is provided in English for easy reference by local mechanics.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1Which African countries use right-hand drive vehicles?
Major RHD markets in Africa include Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Botswana, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Ghana, Nigeria (partial), and other Commonwealth countries. We have extensive experience supplying RHD trucks to these markets.
Q2Can you provide spare parts support in Africa?
Yes. SINOTRUK has established dealer networks and parts warehouses in major African cities including Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Lusaka, Johannesburg, and Accra. We also ship a comprehensive spare parts kit with each truck order for immediate maintenance needs.
Q3Is the tropical cooling system different from standard?
Yes. The tropical package includes a 52L copper radiator (vs 43L standard), enlarged engine oil cooler, transmission oil cooler, and heavy-duty fan belt. This ensures reliable operation in ambient temperatures up to 55C, which is critical for African desert and savanna conditions.
Q4What payment methods do you accept for African buyers?
We accept T/T (bank transfer), L/C at sight, and Western Union for sample orders. For large orders, we recommend L/C at sight for buyer protection. We can also work with African banks that have correspondent relationships with Chinese banks.
