16 units HOWO 6X4 20CBM rear loader garbage truck were successfully exported to the Ethiopia
On July 18, 2025, 16 units of Sinotruk HOWO 6x4 heavy-duty 20CBM rear loader garbage trucks were successfully delivered to the Port of Djibouti. This large batch of vehicles was inspected by the client, who arranged for an agent to inspect them. The client, a large waste recycling and disposal company in Addis Ababa, primarily contracts solid waste management for government departments. Due to its large scope of business, they urgently needed to purchase a batch of large garbage compactor trucks to replace equipment purchased years ago. After browsing numerous manufacturer websites online, the client was attracted by our comprehensive and informative website. After several discussions with us, they ultimately chose us to produce these vehicles.
Client: Mr. Muhammad Bikila, Ethiopia
Project: Ethiopia Private Solid Waste Management Company Procurement Project
Year: March 2025
Background:
Ethiopia, particularly its rapidly expanding capital, Addis Ababa, faces a severe challenge of being surrounded by garbage. Waste disposal has long relied on the Repi landfill in the west of the capital, but the official collection and treatment rate is only around 45%. Therefore, external private sector involvement is urgently needed. The involvement of these private enterprises has accelerated the pace of urban waste management, giving Addis Ababa and other cities a new look.
The 16units howo 6x4, 20-cubic-meter garbage compactor trucks adopt the new Sinotruk HW76 chassis, 4625 mm + 1350 mm wheelbase. Equipped with a SINOTRUK WD615.47 engine with 371 HP and 1500 Nm of torque, and a SINOTRUK HW19710 10-speed transmission. The trucks feature a 20-cubic-meter carbon steel compactor body and a rear bucket flip mechanism, capable of accommodating two 240-liter bins, with optional 1100-liter and 660-liter bins. The trucks utilize a CAN-BUS integrated electronic control system, with garbage loading and unloading controlled by a cab electric control box, a manual hydraulic operating lever on the driver's side, and a tailgate electric control box. These trucks are primarily used for the collection and transportation of barreled, bagged, and bulk household waste on urban roads, in urban residential areas, communities, and large factories and mines.
