Several months ago, a customer from Côte d'Ivoire who had purchased a lowbed semi trailer contacted us, as he wanted to buy a prime mover truck to match the trailer. We then discussed the configuration of the tractor truck with him in detail, including the required horsepower, the most suitable tire type for his working conditions, as well as the truck’s price and lead time. Based on his actual needs, we recommended the SINOTRUK HOWO 6×4 430HP Tractor Truck to the customer. After all details were confirmed, he placed an order with us, and we immediately arranged mass production.Once the truck was manufactured and passed the factory quality inspection, we promptly arranged for its shipment. A rust proof wax spray treatment was also applied to the truck before it was loaded onto the vessel to ensure its good condition during maritime transportation. One week ago, the truck arrived at the port of Côte d'Ivoire safely. The customer picked it up smoothly and sent us photos of the truck right after. Three days ago, we received operation photos from him showing the truck perfectly matched with the lowbed semi trailer in actual use. The customer expressed great satisfaction with the product and stated that he looks forward to further in depth cooperation with our company in the future.

Based on the truck head’s work scenario, the truck is equipped with the WEICHAI brand 430HP engine.This engine delivers 430 horsepower and a maximum torque of 2000 N·m, providing ample power to effortlessly pull heavy duty vehicles loaded with Ivorian hardwood. The region primarily transports various types of heavy logs, and the roads from forest areas to ports are mostly hilly and pitted. Whether climbing slopes with a full load of logs or navigating bumpy red dirt roads, this engine handles the terrain smoothly. Rated at 1900 rpm, this engine starts effortlessly. Equipped with an air intake heating system, it reliably starts whether in slightly chilly mornings or hot, humid conditions. As a tropical region with significant day night temperature variations, Côte d'Ivoire often requires early morning departures for timber transport into forest areas. This engine avoids starting difficulties due to climate, ensuring vehicles depart on schedule and maintaining the timber transport timeline.

To fitted with the 430HP engine, the tractor truck is equipped with the HW19712 gearbox. Precision matched high torque delivers ample power for heavy load hill climbing. The HW19712 transmission achieves a maximum input torque of 1900Nm, forming a golden power combination with the Weichai 430 horsepower engine. Ivory Coast's timber transport primarily involves hardwoods with high per vehicle loads, navigating red soil hilly terrain in forest regions. This combination ensures no power loss during full load starts or steep incline driving, effortlessly handling heavy duty transport from forest mountain roads to port highways without stalling or power deficiency. The 12 speed wide ratio design adapts to complex local road conditions and efficient transport demands. The transmission features 12 forward gears with a gear ratio range of 15.01 1. Its narrow gear ratio spread ensures seamless transitions between gears. Côte d'Ivoire's log transport demands both deep forest navigation through potholes and rainy season mud, as well as travel on newly built northern trunk highways directly to ports. Multiple gears precisely match the power output of the Weichai engine. Downshifting amplifies torque during hill climbs, while upshifting maintains economical engine speeds during high speed flat road driving. This balances complex terrain traversal with trunk line transport efficiency, reducing shift frequency.
