The global logistics sector is accelerating its low-carbon transformation. African, Middle Eastern, Southeast Asian and other overseas markets have seen soaring procurement demand for new-energy heavy trucks. China's export volume of new-energy heavy trucks registered a year-on-year increase of over 80% in the first half of 2026. Featuring fast energy replenishment, low operating costs and zero exhaust emissions, battery-swap tractors have become the preferred option for port shuttling, yard transfer and intercity trunk logistics. Our brand-new HOWO battery-swap electric tractor is now in stock for export and open for global orders. With mature Chinese new-energy commercial vehicle technologies, we help overseas clients cut operating costs, boost efficiency and comply with local environmental regulations.
Core Product Advantages
The promoted model is the HOWO 4×2 battery-swap electric tractor (shown in the attached photo). Marked parameters on the body show its gross vehicle mass reaches 18,000 kg and maximum towed mass stands at 33,200 kg. It is compatible with mainstream trailers including container semi-trailers and flatbed trailers, and fits multiple operation scenarios such as port connection haulage, construction material transportation and on-site short-distance transfer:
Battery swap for non-stop high-efficiency operation Adopting a vehicle-battery separation structure, the truck completes full battery replacement within 5 minutes without long charging waits, perfectly supporting three-shift intensive fleet operation. It matches standard specifications of mainstream battery swapping stations; bulk buyers can build supporting swapping stations to form a complete local energy system. Compared with diesel tractors, electric power replaces diesel fuel to slash annual fuel expenses and avoid financial risks caused by volatile international oil prices.
Reliable power for heavy-load adaptability Equipped with a high-performance electronically controlled drive motor, the tractor delivers abundant low-speed torque for strong start-up and climbing performance, running stably on unpaved African roads and under high-temperature Middle Eastern working conditions. The chassis inherits mature HOWO heavy-truck tuning technology with high-strength steel frames for outstanding durability during long-term operation on rough overseas roads.
Driver-oriented cabin design for long-haul comfort The spacious sleeper cab paired with a panoramic windshield delivers broad driving vision. Shock-absorbing seats and noise-reduction cabin structure effectively relieve driver fatigue on long trips. The built-in T-BOX intelligent terminal monitors 18 core indicators including motor temperature, battery level and driving mileage in real time, enabling fleet managers to arrange scheduling and maintenance remotely.
Customized configuration for multi-country market access Factory-built to export standards, the lighting, braking and safety protection systems can be customized to meet certification requirements of Middle Eastern, African and Southeast Asian countries. Leveraging Sinotruk's global spare parts network, we supply wearable components and arrange on-site technician maintenance in key export destinations to eliminate clients' after-sales worries.
