Frustrated by expensive European truck parts in Luanda or hard-to-find spares in Lobito?
Many Angolan operators are searching for a smarter, more sustainable solution.
HOWO trucks and SINOTRUK parts have gained ground in Angola for their reliability, low maintenance costs, and suitability for oilfield logistics, inland transport, and heavy-duty construction.
Angola’s economy depends heavily on transportation—be it hauling crude oil equipment from Luanda’s port, moving bulk materials in Huambo, or supporting roadwork projects across Benguela and Cabinda. But downtime due to a missing gearbox or leaking brake chamber costs time and money. In this article, I’ll walk you through WHY SINOTRUK HOWO is the truck of choice, WHAT parts are most needed in Angola, and HOW to import them safely and cost-effectively.
Why Do Angolan Transporters Choose HOWO Trucks?
American trucks are overkill. Japanese trucks are underpowered. HOWO is just right.
With better power-to-price ratio and easier parts support, HOWO is growing fast in Angola.
From Luanda logistics firms to mining operators in Malanje, Angolan businesses pick HOWO because it balances torque, durability, and value.
HOWO’s Advantages in Angola
Angola’s terrain is diverse—from the urban congestion of Luanda to the sandy, remote stretches of Cuando Cubango. Here’s where HOWO shines:
- Rugged drivetrain systems that handle overloaded mining loads
- Simplified wiring and electronics, perfect for areas lacking diagnostics tools
- Strong after-market ecosystem—engine models like WD615 and MC11 have abundant support
- Compatible with heavy loads, tropical heat, and inconsistent road conditions
One project manager I worked with in Lubango said, “We needed 30 dump trucks within 60 days. HOWO got the job done—and we got the parts without depending on Europe.”
What SINOTRUK HOWO Parts Are Most Demanded in Angola?
Still waiting on a transmission from Portugal? Or air filters that never arrived?
Angolan importers are tired of delays, and they’re switching to direct-from-China sourcing.
In Angola, the most demanded SINOTRUK HOWO parts include engine kits, clutch assemblies, suspension parts, brake chambers, filters, and hydraulic cylinders.
Top HOWO Spare Parts in Angola
| Part Type | Common Use Cases in Angola |
|---|---|
| Engine overhaul kits | Long-haul trucking, overworked fleets |
| Brake chambers | Rough inland roads and frequent stop-start loads |
| Fuel & air filters | Dusty, humid coastal environments |
| Suspension components | Quarry transport and off-road duty |
| Clutch pressure plates | Steep, shifting terrain and high torque shifts |
| Hydraulic pumps/cylinders | Dump trucks in oil & gas or construction work |
Luanda-based clients often order bulk spares for full-year operations—sometimes 10 containers at once—especially for tenders involving cement, infrastructure, or petroleum logistics.
What Are the Risks of Buying HOWO Parts Locally in Angola?
Seeing “original” parts sold in open-air markets near Viana? Be cautious.
Much of Angola’s truck parts supply is either second-hand or rebranded junk.
Local suppliers may claim they have SINOTRUK originals, but many use generic molds, recycled cores, or low-grade steel that can't survive under real pressure.
Problems We’ve Heard From Angolan Clients:
- Brake chambers cracked after 2 weeks of use
- Fake piston rings causing oil loss and overheating
- Gearboxes with mismatched gears or missing bearings
- Suspension parts that collapsed under basic loading
One of our clients in Uíge shared how they lost a government contract because three trucks broke down in a single week—due to locally sourced "genuine" parts.
How Do Angolan Buyers Import SINOTRUK Parts Without Trouble?
Tired of relying on third-country agents or inflated shipping costs?
