HOWO 400HP 6x4 Tractor Head for Nigeria – Factory Price

Nigeria's economy runs on movement. From the congested cargo routes of Apapa in Lagos to the long-haul corridors connecting Kano, Port Harcourt, Abuja, and Onitsha, haulage operators face one relentless challenge: finding a truck that is powerful enough, durable enough, and cost-effective enough to survive the demands of Nigerian roads while keeping fleets profitable.

This brand new HOWO 400HP 6x4 Tractor Head is purpose-built for exactly that reality. Whether you are a fleet owner hauling petroleum products in the Niger Delta, a logistics company moving fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) across the South-West, or a construction contractor transporting heavy equipment on federal projects, this prime mover delivers the power, reliability, and low total cost of ownership that Nigerian operators need.

Sourced directly from the factory by Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd, this unit ships new, never registered, and arrives ready to work.

Key Specifications

Who Is This Truck For? Real Nigerian Use Cases

1. Long-Haul Haulage & Logistics Operators

Nigerian haulage companies running routes between Lagos, Ibadan, Benin City, Enugu, and Kano demand engines that sustain highway speeds under load. The 400HP engine and 10-speed gearbox give drivers the torque to climb gradients on the Lokoja–Abuja expressway and the speed to meet delivery windows, while the 400-litre fuel tank reduces stops on longer routes.

2. Petroleum & Tanker Fleet Owners

Petroleum distribution remains one of Nigeria's largest trucking segments. The 6x4 drive configuration and 26-tonne rear axle rating make this tractor head well-suited to haul fuel tanker semi-trailers across refinery-to-depot routes in Rivers State, Delta, and beyond.

3. Construction & Infrastructure Contractors

Federal and state road contracts, housing developments, and industrial projects across Nigeria require the movement of heavy machinery, steel, aggregates, and precast materials. This tractor head handles up to 30 tonnes on the kingpin, pairing with lowbed and flatbed semi-trailers for site logistics.

4. Port Clearing Agents & Container Hauliers

Apapa and Tin Can Island ports in Lagos generate massive container movement demand. The HOWO 6x4's short-turn manoeuvrability and robust air-brake system make it a preferred choice for container haulage from port to inland container depots (ICDs).

5. Agricultural Commodity Transporters

Moving bulk grains, palm oil, and produce from farming states in Benue, Kogi, and Kebbi to processing and export hubs requires dependable trucks. The HOWO 400HP offers the payload capacity and durability to operate on off-highway farm access roads as well as national routes.

Shipping & Delivery to Nigeria

How We Ship

All units are exported from China via RoRo (Roll-on/Roll-off) or container shipping depending on order quantity and buyer preference. RoRo shipping is the standard method for single tractor heads and small fleet orders—trucks are driven on at the origin port and driven off at the destination port, reducing handling risks.

Destination Port

The primary destination port for Nigerian orders is Apapa Port, Lagos. Tin Can Island Port is also available as an alternative. Our logistics team coordinates with licensed Nigerian clearing agents to ensure smooth customs processing.

Estimated Transit Time

From Qingdao or Tianjin (China) to Lagos: approximately 25 to 35 days depending on vessel schedule and routing. Production lead time for confirmed orders is typically 7 to 15 working days.

Documentation Provided

Full export documents are supplied: Commercial Invoice, Packing List, Bill of Lading, Certificate of Origin, and manufacturer's Certificate of Conformity. All paperwork is prepared to meet the requirements of the Nigerian Customs Service (NCS) and SON (Standards Organisation of Nigeria) import regulations.

Minimum Order

Single units are accepted. Fleet discount pricing is available for orders of 3 units and above. Contact us for volume quotes.
