“A year ago, when we bought our first batch of HOWO NX 6x4 tractors, my team had some doubts about adapting to Benin’s harsh road conditions. But now, these tractors have become the most reliable ‘iron camels’ on our cross-border logistics routes.”

While the southern coastal areas of Benin have high humidity and frequent rain, temperatures in the northern savanna regions can soar past 42°C. The HOWO NX 6x4’s high-efficiency cooling system and reinforced radiator ensure the engine maintains stable operating temperatures even during long-haul, heavy-load transportation under scorching sun. The muddy and potholed rural roads in Benin pose a huge challenge to vehicle chassis and tires; the tractor’s robust 6x4 drive configuration, high-ground-clearance design, and wear-resistant tires provide outstanding passability and load-bearing capacity, easily navigating muddy sections and uneven terrain.

Dust storms in the dry season and waterlogging during the rainy season are persistent threats. The vehicle’s key electrical components, fuel system, and air intake are fully sealed, effectively preventing dust intrusion and water seepage, drastically reducing failures caused by harsh environments. Our drivers and mechanics mastered daily inspections and basic maintenance after just one day of training. The spare parts supply network in Cotonou is highly efficient, with commonly used parts available within 24 hours, greatly cutting down vehicle downtime and ensuring smooth logistics operations.
