HOWO Cooling System: Performance in Heat & Dust

The transport environment in Africa and Central Asia is renowned for its extreme high temperatures and frequent sandstorms, posing severe challenges to truck cooling systems. Engine overheating not only leads to power loss but can also cause serious mechanical failures, particularly for heavy-duty trucks that require continuous high-load operation.

HOWO trucks (and their sister brand SHACMAN) were designed with these demanding conditions fully in mind. Their cooling systems feature large-capacity water tanks and highly efficient radiators, ensuring the engine remains within its optimal operating temperature range even when ambient temperatures exceed 40°C. The radiators often adopt a reinforced design to withstand vibrations from harsh road conditions.

In dealing with dust, the air filtration system of HOWO trucks is crucial. Although not a direct part of the cooling system, clean air intake ensures efficient engine combustion, indirectly reducing the thermal load. More importantly, the design of the HOWO cooling system prioritizes ease of cleaning and maintenance, preventing fine dust from accumulating on the fins and affecting cooling efficiency. Furthermore, many HOWO models destined for these regions come standard or with an option for a powerful fan and larger cooling area.

Choosing HOWO or SHACMAN means selecting a reliable heavy-duty truck capable of adapting to local climate characteristics. We ensure the cooling systems of the trucks we provide are rigorously tested and optimized, allowing your transport tasks to maintain high efficiency and longevity, even in hot and dusty environments.
