| Production Line: | USED HOWO TRUCKS WORKSHOPQingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd operates a used HOWO truck refurbishment workshop for heavy-duty transport vehicles and commercial truck reconditioning for export markets. The workshop is located at Dongma Road, Liangshan Town, Jining City, Shandong Province, China, and supports vehicle inspection, mechanical repair, refurbishment, testing, and export preparation for used commercial vehicles. The workshop mainly handles used HOWO dump trucks, tractor trucks, concrete mixer trucks, tanker trucks, cargo trucks, and other heavy-duty vehicles prepared for customers in Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, and other developing regions. These markets often require trucks to operate under high-load, long-distance, hot-climate, and rough-road working conditions. Instead of focusing only on exterior repainting or appearance refurbishment, the workshop places greater emphasis on mechanical condition, chassis integrity, drivetrain stability, hydraulic performance, maintenance accessibility, and long-term operating reliability under real operating conditions. Workshop Facilities & EquipmentThe workshop is equipped with lifting systems, maintenance equipment, diagnostic tools, testing devices, and spare parts storage areas required for heavy-duty truck refurbishment and servicing. Dedicated working areas are arranged for:
The facility is designed to support batch refurbishment work and export preparation for commercial vehicles used in mining, construction, fuel transportation, and infrastructure projects. Technical TeamAlston Motors employs engineers, mechanics, welders, painters, electricians, and technical specialists with practical experience in HOWO trucks and heavy-duty commercial vehicle systems. The technical team is responsible for:
Internal technical training is carried out regularly to maintain familiarity with different truck configurations, refurbishment procedures, export requirements, and operating conditions in overseas markets. Diagnostic & Inspection ProceduresThe workshop uses diagnostic equipment and inspection procedures to evaluate vehicle condition before and after refurbishment work. Inspection and testing procedures include:
The purpose of these inspections is to identify hidden wear, mechanical instability, leakage issues, abnormal operating conditions, and potential maintenance risks before export shipment. Refurbishment & Vehicle UpgradingEach truck is refurbished according to its actual condition, application requirements, and destination market environment. Refurbishment and upgrade work may include:
For some African and developing markets, selected vehicles can also be converted from electronic pump systems to mechanical pump systems. This type of configuration is still widely preferred in certain regions because it reduces electronic system dependence and simplifies long-term maintenance under local workshop conditions. For East African markets such as Tanzania, Zambia, Uganda, and Kenya, selected trucks can also be converted from left-hand drive (LHD) to right-hand drive (RHD) configurations according to local transport regulations and operating requirements. Spare Parts & Technical SupportThe company maintains inventory for commonly used maintenance and replacement components required for HOWO truck refurbishment and after-sales service. Support services include:

| R&D: | Research & DevelopmentSINOTRUK HOWO trucks are widely used in mining, construction, infrastructure, and long-distance transport operations across Africa and other international markets. Different operating environments place very different demands on vehicle performance, maintenance, and long-term durability. Based on years of export experience with refurbished HOWO trucks, Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd has developed its own refurbishment research, inspection, and technical evaluation system focused on practical vehicle performance under real working conditions. Rather than focusing only on appearance refurbishment, the company's technical teams pay closer attention to operational reliability, maintenance convenience, component durability, and long-term fleet operation in demanding transport environments. The company's research and technical work is mainly based on field operating conditions commonly found in African and developing markets, including overloaded transport routes, high-temperature environments, uneven road conditions, unstable fuel quality, and limited maintenance resources in remote areas. Performance & Fuel EfficiencyThe technical team continuously evaluates engine systems, drivetrain performance, and vehicle operating conditions to improve transport efficiency and fuel economy during long-distance and heavy-load operations. Main optimization areas include:
For some export markets, simplified mechanical configurations are preferred because they reduce maintenance difficulty and improve repair efficiency under local workshop conditions. Durability & Long-Term ReliabilityHeavy-duty commercial vehicles operating in mining and construction environments are exposed to high loads, rough roads, dust, heat, and continuous working cycles. Because of this, durability is one of the key focuses during refurbishment and technical inspection. Technical teams pay close attention to:
The refurbishment process is designed to improve long-term operational stability for vehicles working in demanding transport and construction environments. Safety & Operational TestingBefore export shipment, vehicles undergo multiple inspection and operational testing procedures to verify mechanical condition and driving stability. Inspection and testing procedures include:
Testing procedures are intended to reduce operational risks and improve vehicle reliability during long-distance transportation and heavy-duty operations. Market-Oriented Vehicle AdaptationDifferent export markets often require different vehicle configurations based on road conditions, transport regulations, fuel quality, climate conditions, and local maintenance capabilities. Available technical adaptation solutions include:
For East African and some developing markets, mechanical pump systems are still widely preferred because they are easier to maintain, less dependent on electronic diagnostics, and more practical for remote operating environments. Refurbishment Standards & Inspection ProceduresAlston Motors continuously improves its refurbishment standards, inspection procedures, and export quality control systems for used HOWO trucks and commercial transport equipment. Technical teams focus on:
The company's refurbishment approach focuses on practical vehicle operation rather than cosmetic appearance alone, with greater emphasis placed on reliability, durability, maintenance accessibility, and long-term transport performance. |
