In African and Middle Eastern markets, HOWO and SHACMAN are the two most popular Chinese heavy truck brands. This guide compares them across four dimensions: powertrain, fuel economy, parts availability and resale value.
Power & Fuel Economy
The HOWO 371HP uses the Sinotruk MC11 engine and excels at heavy long-haul routes. The SHACMAN X3000 runs a Weichai WP13, with steadier performance on mountainous roads.
Parts Availability
Both brands have mature parts channels in major African port cities. HOWO holds a clear edge in East Africa, while SHACMAN enjoys stronger recognition in West Africa and Central Asia.
