Looking for a brand new Sinotruk Howo 6x4 340HP dump truck in Ethiopia? This factory-new heavy-duty tipper, fitted with a 5.6-metre U-type bucket, is purpose-built for Ethiopia's most active construction corridors, road-building projects, and quarrying operations. Combining a proven 340HP powertrain with a wide, deep U-shaped dump body and full factory warranty, this truck delivers maximum productivity and the lowest possible total cost of ownership from day one.
The new Sinotruk Howo 6x4 340HP tipper truck sits in the mid-range power class of the Howo lineup — powerful enough for sustained heavy haulage, yet fuel-efficient enough to keep running costs manageable on long construction supply runs. The 5.6m U-type bucket is a key differentiator: the U-shaped cross-section maximises volumetric capacity while reinforced steel walls handle abrasive loads including basalt rock, laterite soil, river sand, and construction aggregate. As a brand-new unit, this truck comes directly from the Sinotruk factory with full documentation, zero operating hours, and manufacturer warranty coverage. Every unit is supplied by Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd, with pre-delivery inspection completed before shipment to Ethiopia.
Buying new means no hidden wear, no undisclosed repair history, and no deferred maintenance costs waiting to surface after delivery. This truck ships directly from the Sinotruk production facility with manufacturer warranty covering the engine, drivetrain, and key mechanical components. For Ethiopian fleet operators running on tight project timelines where unexpected downtime carries real financial penalties, a brand-new unit is the most reliable foundation for consistent operations.
The U-type bucket design is preferred over flat-bottom or rectangular dump bodies for a specific reason: the curved base allows material to flow cleanly toward the tailgate during tipping, preventing clumping and reducing cycle time on busy construction sites. At 5.6 metres in length, this body provides generous volumetric capacity suited to Ethiopia's large-scale road and building projects. The new steel body, unpitted and undeformed, operates at peak hydraulic efficiency from the first load cycle.
The 340HP Sinotruk diesel engine delivers reliable torque across the RPM range needed for Ethiopia's varied terrain — from Addis Ababa's expanding ring roads to the steep highland routes of the Amhara region and the long flat hauls of the Awash–Djibouti corridor. At 340HP, this engine class offers a strong balance between pulling power and fuel consumption, which matters greatly for operators running multiple daily cycles across project sites. A new engine, properly run in during the first 5,000 kilometres, will reach peak efficiency and hold it for a significantly longer service life than a used alternative.
The 6x4 axle setup distributes the loaded weight across rear dual axles, improving traction on unpaved construction access roads, muddy quarry floors, and loose aggregate surfaces — all common on Ethiopian project sites. The new axle components, bearings, and differentials operate within factory tolerances from delivery, reducing the risk of early drivetrain failure that can affect high-mileage used alternatives.
Ethiopia follows right-hand traffic, making left-hand drive (LHD) the legally required steering configuration for all road vehicles. This new unit is compliant and eligible for registration with the Ethiopian Roads Administration and relevant transport authorities upon customs clearance at Djibouti Port or Addis Ababa Dry Port.
Ethiopia's most common hauled materials — volcanic basalt aggregate, red laterite soil, and river sand — each behave differently when tipped. The U-type body's curved interior prevents material from bridging across the body width during tipping, a common problem with flat-bottom designs that results in residual loads, slower cycle times, and uneven strain on the hydraulic system. On a new truck with a fresh hydraulic circuit, the U-type body's clean tipping action preserves cylinder seals and pump components for longer, reducing maintenance costs across the truck's operating life.
We offer competitive CIF pricing to Djibouti Port, the primary import gateway for Ethiopia, with onward overland delivery to Addis Ababa Dry Port or your project site. Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd manages the full export process — factory inspection, shipping documentation, and Djibouti port clearance coordination — ensuring a smooth, fully documented transaction for Ethiopian buyers. Payment terms and production lead times are available on request.
New Howo 6x4 340HP tipper trucks in this specification are typically priced between USD $40,000 and $50,000 CIF Djibouti, depending on exact specification, optional extras, and current factory pricing.

New Sinotruk Howo trucks come with the standard Sinotruk manufacturer warranty, which covers the engine, gearbox, axles, and key mechanical components for a defined period or mileage — typically one year or 100,000 kilometres, whichever comes first. Warranty terms are confirmed on the sales contract. We advise all buyers to conduct the initial service intervals as specified in the Howo owner's manual to maintain warranty validity.
A U-type bucket has a curved base running the full length of the body. This allows material to flow cleanly toward the tailgate during tipping, reducing residual load and speeding up cycle times. A flat-bottom body can trap wet or sticky material in the body corners, increasing tipping time and placing extra strain on the hydraulic cylinder. For abrasive or cohesive loads such as laterite, wet sand, or basalt aggregate, the U-type design is the more productive and mechanically kinder choice.
The bucket is 5.6 metres in length. Exact volumetric capacity depends on bucket width and side wall height, but a 5.6m U-type body on a 6x4 Howo chassis typically carries between 14 and 18 cubic metres of material — equating to roughly 20 to 28 tonnes depending on material density and axle load regulations.
For in-stock or ready-production units, the typical timeline from order confirmation to arrival in Addis Ababa is 35 to 50 days, covering production completion or pre-delivery preparation in China, ocean freight to Djibouti Port (approximately 18 to 25 days), and overland transport on the Djibouti–Addis Ababa corridor. Custom specifications or large fleet orders may require additional lead time.
Yes. The truck is left-hand drive, the legal requirement for Ethiopia. It is compatible with Ethiopian Roads Authority axle load standards when operated within its rated GVW. Full import documentation — commercial invoice, bill of lading, certificate of origin, packing list, and factory inspection report — is provided for customs clearance at Djibouti Port or Addis Ababa Dry Port.
Yes. Sinotruk Howo trucks are extensively operated across Ethiopia and spare parts — including filters, clutch components, hydraulic seals, brake linings, and engine consumables — are available through dealers in Addis Ababa's Merkato district and other commercial centres. The 340HP WD615-series engine shares many components with the widely used 371HP variant, further broadening parts availability throughout the country.
Yes. We can supply single units or full fleet orders. Customisation options include bucket capacity, side wall height, axle specification, cab type, and colour. Fleet pricing is available for orders of three units or more. Contact us at bruce@alstonmotors.com with your quantity and specification requirements for a tailored quotation.
