Nigeria's freight and logistics sector is undergoing a major fuel shift. With diesel accounting for over 35% of trucking operating costs across Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Abuja corridors, Nigerian fleet operators are actively moving toward LNG-powered heavy trucks to cut running costs and stay ahead of tightening emissions expectations. The brand new Sinotruk HOWO 380HP 6X4 LNG tractor head is purpose-built for this transition — delivering the high-torque pulling power Nigerian hauliers need on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, the Apapa port access corridors, and long-haul routes to the north, at a fraction of the fuel cost of equivalent diesel prime movers.
Supplied directly from China by Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd, this HOWO LNG tractor head is available for new-model export to Nigeria with full documentation, competitive factory-direct pricing, and sea freight delivery to Apapa or Tin Can Island Port, Lagos.

The HOWO 380HP LNG tractor head is suited to the full range of heavy haulage operations active in Nigeria today:
All units are loaded at Qingdao Port, China, and shipped to Apapa Port or Tin Can Island Port, Lagos as standard. Port Harcourt is also available on request for southeast Nigeria buyers.
Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd is an authorized exporter of Sinotruk HOWO vehicles with direct factory access and a dedicated after-export support team. Every unit is pre-inspected at the Jinan production facility before dispatch. We have supplied HOWO trucks to fleet operators and logistics companies across West Africa, including Nigeria, Ghana, and Cameroon, and understand the specific configuration and documentation requirements of the Nigerian import market.
Standard export to Nigeria is left-hand drive (LHD). Nigeria drives on the right side of the road, so LHD is the correct configuration for Nigerian registration and operation.
Yes. The HOWO LNG tractor head is equipped with standard cryogenic LNG filling connectors compatible with LNG dispensing equipment being deployed across Nigerian fuel infrastructure. The truck can also be configured with dual-fuel (LNG + diesel pilot ignition) for routes where LNG supply is limited.
Under Nigerian market conditions, LNG typically costs 30–45% less per energy unit than diesel on comparable long-haul routes, translating to significant operational savings per trip on high-frequency corridors such as Lagos–Kano.
Production and loading typically take 10–20 days. Sea transit from Qingdao to Lagos Apapa is approximately 25–35 days. Total delivery time from confirmed order is usually 5–8 weeks.
Yes. Genuine Sinotruk HOWO spare parts — including LNG engine components, cryogenic tank service parts, gearbox kits, and axle components — can be co-shipped with your truck order or dispatched separately by air freight.
We supply Euro II and Euro V configurations. Euro II is the standard export specification for the Nigerian market. Please confirm your preferred emission standard at the time of inquiry.
