New Sinotruk HOWO 340HP 6×4 CNG Tractor Head for Sale in Nigeria – Fuel-Saving, Factory Direct Supply

Nigeria's freight industry is at a turning point. With diesel prices volatile and the Federal Government's Presidential CNG Initiative actively funding new refueling stations and incentivising fleet conversions across Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, and Kano, the window to switch to cheaper, cleaner fuel has never been wider. The brand new Sinotruk HOWO 340HP 6x4 CNG Tractor Head is purpose-built to take full advantage of Nigeria's expanding compressed natural gas infrastructure — delivering the same heavy-duty pulling power as a diesel prime mover at a significantly lower running cost per kilometre.
Whether you operate on the Lagos–Kano corridor, haul containers out of Apapa or Tin Can Island Port, or run interstate freight across the South-South, this 6x4 CNG prime mover gives Nigerian fleet operators a direct cost advantage over diesel rivals. Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd supplies this model factory-direct to Nigerian buyers, with full export documentation and competitive CIF Apapa pricing available.

Key Specifications

Applications

The HOWO 340HP 6x4 CNG Tractor Head is built for Nigerian fleet operators seeking to reduce fuel expenditure without sacrificing load capacity or engine reliability. Key use cases include:

• Container Haulage from Nigerian Ports – Ideal for 20ft and 40ft container transport from Apapa, Tin Can Island, and Onne Ports to distribution centres across Lagos, Ogun, and Oyo states, where CNG refueling points are rapidly expanding.
• Interstate Freight on Major Corridors – Well-suited for the Lagos–Ibadan, Lagos–Kano, and Abuja–Kaduna routes, which fall within Nigeria's priority zones for CNG station deployment under the National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP).
• Petroleum-Sector Logistics – Supports non-flammable cargo transport and equipment haulage across Nigeria's oil-producing Niger Delta states, where LNG/CNG infrastructure is linked to upstream gas operations.
• Industrial & Manufacturing Supply Chains – Efficient for bulk material transport serving cement plants, steel mills, and agro-processing facilities across Nigeria's industrial corridors, where depot-based CNG time-fill stations are increasingly viable.
• Government & Institutional Fleet Procurement – Directly aligned with Nigeria's public-fleet mandate under the Presidential CNG Initiative, which provides incentives for fleet operators acquiring factory-built CNG commercial vehicles.

Shipping & Delivery

We offer two shipping modes for Nigerian importers, both fully documented for Nigerian Customs (NCS) clearance:

• RoRo (Roll-on Roll-off) – Trucks are driven directly onto the vessel, bound for Apapa or Tin Can Island Port, Lagos. Best for single units. Estimated sea transit: 28–35 days from Qingdao or Tianjin.
• Container Shipping (40HQ – CKD/SKD) – Partially disassembled units packed into containers for cost-efficient bulk orders. Recommended for 3+ units. Full reassembly technical support provided upon arrival.

All shipments include: Bill of Lading, Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Certificate of Origin, and Pre-Shipment Inspection Certificate (SGS / Bureau Veritas / Intertek) — compliant with Standards Organisation of Nigeria (SON) and Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) requirements.
Pricing terms: FOB Qingdao, CFR Lagos, CIF Apapa. Payment: T/T (Telegraphic Transfer) or L/C at sight. Single-unit orders accepted.

Why Nigerian Buyers Choose This Truck

• Fuel Cost Advantage – CNG costs significantly less per kilometre than diesel in Nigeria, where pump diesel prices remain high and CNG is subsidised under the Presidential CNG Initiative. Fleet operators report substantial monthly savings on high-utilisation routes.
• Aligned With Nigeria's CNG Policy – The Nigerian government's National Gas Expansion Programme (NGEP) and Presidential CNG Initiative are actively expanding refueling infrastructure and providing incentives for CNG commercial vehicle procurement — making now the right time to invest.
• Factory-Direct Supply – Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd is an authorized Sinotruk export partner. Every unit is sourced from Sinotruk's official production line, with genuine factory quality certification — no middlemen, no inflated costs.
• Same Power, Lower Running Cost – At 340HP and 55T GCW, this CNG tractor head matches the performance of equivalent diesel prime movers on Nigerian highways, with no payload compromise.
• Full NAFDAC/SON-Ready Documentation – Original export documents, including VIN records and factory certificates, are provided to support smooth clearance at Apapa and FRSC vehicle registration in Nigeria.
• Flexible Order Quantities – Single units to full fleet orders (10, 20, 50+ units) accepted. Volume pricing available for large consignments.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Is CNG refueling infrastructure available in Nigeria?

Yes and expanding fast. Nigeria's Presidential CNG Initiative and NGEP are funding new CNG stations in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, Kano, and along major interstate corridors. Depot-based time-fill stations — where trucks refuel overnight — are increasingly common for fleet operators, removing dependency on public stations entirely.

Q2: How does the CNG tractor head compare to diesel in fuel cost?

CNG prices in Nigeria are substantially lower than diesel on a per-energy-equivalent basis. For fleet operators running 200–400km daily, the fuel cost savings on a CNG prime mover versus a comparable diesel unit can offset the price premium within 12–24 months of operation, depending on route and load profile.

Q3: What is the driving range on a full CNG charge?

The standard configuration with 8 * 140L CNG cylinders provides approximately 400–500km of range on a full charge under typical highway conditions. Extended cylinder configurations are available for longer routes.

Q4: Can the truck be ordered in a diesel version instead?

Yes. The same HOWO 6x4 platform is available with diesel engines (290HP, 336HP, 371HP, 420HP) if CNG infrastructure is not yet accessible at your operating base. Contact us to discuss the right configuration for your route and depot situation.

Q5: What is the lead time and minimum order quantity?

Standard production lead time is 20–30 working days. Sea transit to Apapa/Tin Can adds 28–35 days. Single-unit orders are accepted. Volume discounts apply for orders of 5 units and above.

Q6: Are spare parts available in Nigeria?

HOWO spare parts are stocked by dealers in Lagos (Apapa/Orile), Kano, Port Harcourt, and Aba. We also supply an initial spare parts kit with every unit and can arrange bulk spare parts shipments separately on request.
