Recently, a delegation of Sudanese customers arrived at Lu Yi Factory to conduct a three day inspection of HOWO vehicles. As a well - known automotive enterprise, Lu Yi Factory takes HOWO as its core brand. The purpose of this inspection is to promote HOWO vehicles to enter the Sudanese market. The deputy sales manager of Lu Yi Factory led the team to welcome the delegation. After exchanging gifts, both sides went to the production workshop.
The Sudanese customer delegation first entered the general assembly workshop of HOWO heavy duty trucks. Automated robotic arms and workers collaborated in an orderly manner, and a HOWO heavy duty truck rolled off the production line every five minutes. The workshop director of Lu Yi Factory introduced that HOWO heavy duty trucks adopt high - strength steel frames, with a 15% increase in load bearing capacity, which is suitable for the complex road conditions in Sudan. Members of the Sudanese customer delegation boarded the cab, experienced the control system, and expressed their approval of the design of the multi function steering wheel.
At the HOWO vehicle inspection center, the delegation watched 28 strict inspection procedures. HOWO vehicles drove smoothly on the test bench simulating desert road conditions. A representative from the transportation industry in the Sudanese customer delegation asked about the high - temperature heat dissipation performance. The quality inspection manager of Lu Yi Factory responded that its engine cooling system can work continuously at a high temperature of 50℃.
In the HOWO vehicle exhibition area, 12 models were on display. The HOWO 4×4 off - road truck customized for the African market attracted the most attention. This vehicle is equipped with full - time four - wheel drive and an enhanced suspension system. The product engineer of Lu Yi Factory demonstrated its off - road ability in muddy sections on - site. Delegation members checked the anti - slip bottom plate and inquired about maintenance and spare - part costs.
At the technical exchange meeting, the R & D team of Lu Yi Factory explained in detail the core technologies of HOWO vehicles: the self - developed engine has a torque of 1800N·m, and its fuel consumption is 8% lower than that of international brands; the intelligent vehicle networking system facilitates fleet management. The technical advisor of the Sudanese customer delegation put forward the requirement of adapting to local diesel standards, and the engineer said that the fuel injection system could be adjusted.
At the cooperation negotiation meeting, the Sudanese customer delegation expressed its purchase intention and was concerned about the after - sales network. Lu Yi Factory promised to build three service stations in major cities in Sudan, stock up spare parts and train technicians. Both sides reached a consensus on the warranty policy.
At the signing ceremony, both sides signed a cooperation agreement: Lu Yi Factory will provide customized HOWO vehicles and assist in building the after - sales system, while the Sudanese customer delegation will be responsible for local promotion and sales. The first batch of vehicles will be delivered within half a year.
During the test - drive session, delegation members experienced the performance of HOWO tractor trucks and off - road trucks. The head of the delegation said that its power and comfort exceeded expectations, and they were full of confidence in exploring the market. The general manager of Lu Yi Factory said that this cooperation is an important step for HOWO vehicles to enter Africa, and the products will be continuously optimized.
The representative of the local automotive industry association congratulated and said that HOWO vehicles have significant cost performance advantages, are expected to occupy an important share in the African commercial vehicle market, and provide an example for Chinese automotive brands to "go global".
