Recently, a delegation from Ethiopia made a special trip to LUYI's production base in Shandong. The core purpose of this visit was to conduct an on-site inspection of the production capabilities of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers and hold in-depth discussions on follow-up cooperation details. As an important participant in the East African fuel transportation market, the Ethiopian delegation has strict requirements for the safety, load-carrying capacity and customized adaptability of transportation equipment. The 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers have become the key product of concern to the delegation due to their stable performance and flexible configuration.
Accompanied by the person in charge of LUYI's factory throughout the visit, the Ethiopian delegation first entered the steel pretreatment workshop and gained a detailed understanding of the raw material selection standards for the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers. Members of the delegation carefully checked the thickness of high-strength steel and material inspection reports, and inquired about the steel anti-corrosion treatment process. They ensured that the tank foundation of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers had sufficient durability to adapt to the complex road conditions and climate in Ethiopia. Later, the delegation moved to the tank hydraulic forming production line and watched the welding, forming and airtightness testing processes of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers on site. The precise operation of automated welding equipment and the strict standards of multiple rounds of water pressure testing gave the delegation an intuitive understanding of the production accuracy of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers.
In the final assembly and commissioning area, the Ethiopian delegation focused their attention on the core component configuration of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers. Regarding the load-carrying capacity issue that the delegation was concerned about, LUYI's technical staff introduced on site that the maximum payload of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers exceeds 30,000 kg. Equipped with FUWA/BPW brand axles and a mechanical suspension system, the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers can effectively distribute weight and reduce driving bumps, ensuring stability during fuel transportation. At the same time, the technical staff also showed the 28-ton landing gear and customizable kingpins (2 inches/3.5 inches) of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers, explaining that these configurations can be adapted according to the specifications of local tractors in Ethiopia to further improve the compatibility of the equipment. Members of the delegation stopped to take notes from time to time, had in-depth exchanges with technical staff on issues such as component service life and maintenance cycles, and expressed recognition for the practicality of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers.
After the visit, the two parties held formal discussions on cooperation details in the conference room. Combining the actual needs of the local fuel transportation market in Ethiopia, the Ethiopian delegation put forward a number of customized requirements. Firstly, the delegation hoped that the tire specifications of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers would be adapted to the locally commonly used 12R22.5 model to reduce the cost of subsequent tire replacement. Secondly, the delegation required the tank color to adopt a warning color in line with the regulations of Ethiopia's transportation department to improve road driving safety. Thirdly, it was necessary to add guardrails on both sides of the tank of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers to deal with possible road collision risks. In response to these needs, the LUYI team showed past similar customization cases on site, explained the flexibility of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers in terms of specification adjustments and appearance customization, and promised to arrange special personnel to connect with the detailed design of the customized plan to ensure that the finally delivered products fully meet the usage standards of the Ethiopian market.
In addition, the Ethiopian delegation also focused on the follow-up service support issues. The person in charge of LUYI clearly stated that customers who purchase the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers will enjoy a 6-year after-sales warranty, covering common problems such as tank welding and core component failures. At the same time, LUYI will provide overseas logistics and distribution services to ensure that the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers arrive at the designated port in Ethiopia on time, and arrange technical personnel to be on site for installation, commissioning and operation training. The delegation expressed satisfaction with this service plan, believing that the comprehensive after-sales guarantee can effectively reduce the risk of equipment use and lay a foundation for long-term cooperation between the two parties.
At the end of the discussion, the Ethiopian delegation clearly expressed its intention to purchase, and initially planned to order 10 units of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers in the first batch to optimize the fuel transportation routes between major cities in the local area. The head of the delegation said that through this on-site inspection, the delegation not only gained an in-depth understanding of the production strength and product advantages of the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers, but also felt LUYI's professionalism in customized services and after-sales support. The delegation looked forward to taking the 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers as the starting point of cooperation and gradually expanding the scope of cooperation between the two parties in the East African transportation equipment market. The person in charge of LUYI's factory also stated that LUYI will advance the production of the first batch of 30,000-liter 3-axle oil tank semi-trailers in accordance with the highest standards, ensure product quality and delivery efficiency, help the development of Ethiopia's fuel transportation industry, and further expand LUYI's brand influence in the East African market.
