Twenty years is enough time to revolutionize an industry, and the heavy truck industry is no exception. Over the past 20 years, many once-proud heavy-duty truck brands have gradually become silent and disappeared in the torrent of the market. However, in this general change, there are always some exceptions that can go against the current. The SINOTRUK Howo brand has become brighter and brighter after the baptism of time.
Quantity is justice. As the first single brand in the domestic truck industry with a production and sales of more than 2 million units, Howo is already the well-deserved "sales king"; overseas, the Howo brand has made a key contribution to China National Heavy Duty Truck's export ranking for many years.
Haowo is more than a name, it is a legend.
HOWO has achieved fruitful results after 20 years of “long road” exploration.
The birth of HOWO coincides with the great era of heavy trucks in China. From 2000 to 2002, the heavy-duty truck market experienced a three-year blowout, and the heavy-duty truck market experienced a period of rapid growth. It was against this background that China National Heavy Duty Truck quickly realized the need to seize this historical opportunity. To this end, the company set ambitious production and sales targets, including reaching 35,000 vehicles in 2004, 70,000 vehicles in 2007, The production and sales plan is to reach 100,000 vehicles in 2010.
After a year of careful construction, the first Howo rolled off the new assembly line of Sinotruk Jinan Truck Company on October 28, 2004. Since then, my country's heavy-duty vehicle technology has begun to integrate with international standards. From the cab with the widest internal width in the country, to the domestically original engine combustion control, vehicle electrical circuit control and other technologies that are close to or reaching the international level, to the world's largest single-stage reduction axle, the highest level of high-intelligence technology in the country As for the main control system, HOWO became famous for its many "firsts", "pioneers" and "originals". Its first year's production and sales exceeded 10,000 units. In 2006, it produced and sold more than 20,000 units, accounting for 1/3 of China National Heavy Duty Truck's total annual sales. And began to export overseas in batches.
HOWO-7 has been the most advanced heavy truck in China since its birth. Subsequently, the launch of HOWO-A7 condensed China National Heavy Duty Truck's years of technological accumulation and innovation, becoming the pinnacle of domestic heavy trucks, leading my country's heavy truck industry to quickly move towards the world's advanced level. HOWO TH7 is not only equipped with the world's unique worry-free shift gearbox, but also equipped with HOWO MAX with a 590-horsepower natural gas engine with a thermal efficiency of 54.16%, jointly ushering in the era of high-horsepower gas vehicles. As the world's first L4-level pure electric driverless truck, the Howo T5G intelligent connected car was put into trial operation in Tianjin Port, setting an industry record and leading the domestic heavy-duty truck industry together with China's I-generation smart truck Howo T7H, which was launched 14 days later. The era of intelligence has arrived.
