Brand New Sinotruk HOWO 380HP 6x4 LNG Tractor Head for Sale in Nigeria – Factory Direct Price
Nigeria's freight and logistics sector is undergoing a major fuel shift. With diesel accounting for over 35% of trucking operating costs across Lagos, Port Harcourt, Kano, and Abuja corridors, Nigerian fleet operators are actively moving toward LNG-powered heavy trucks to cut running costs and stay ahead of tightening emissions expectations. The brand new Sinotruk HOWO 380HP 6X4 LNG tractor head is purpose-built for this transition — delivering the high-torque pulling power Nigerian hauliers need on the Lagos–Ibadan Expressway, the Apapa port access corridors, and long-haul routes to the north, at a fraction of the fuel cost of equivalent diesel prime movers.
Supplied directly from China by Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd, this HOWO LNG tractor head is available for new-model export to Nigeria with full documentation, competitive factory-direct pricing, and sea freight delivery to Apapa or Tin Can Island Port, Lagos.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this truck right-hand drive or left-hand drive?
Standard export to Nigeria is left-hand drive (LHD). Nigeria drives on the right side of the road, so LHD is the correct configuration for Nigerian registration and operation.
Can I use this truck with Nigerian LNG filling stations?
Yes. The HOWO LNG tractor head is equipped with standard cryogenic LNG filling connectors compatible with LNG dispensing equipment being deployed across Nigerian fuel infrastructure. The truck can also be configured with dual-fuel (LNG + diesel pilot ignition) for routes where LNG supply is limited.
What is the fuel cost saving compared to a diesel equivalent?
Under Nigerian market conditions, LNG typically costs 30–45% less per energy unit than diesel on comparable long-haul routes, translating to significant operational savings per trip on high-frequency corridors such as Lagos–Kano.
How long does it take to receive the truck after I place an order?
Production and loading typically take 10–20 days. Sea transit from Qingdao to Lagos Apapa is approximately 25–35 days. Total delivery time from confirmed order is usually 5–8 weeks.
Do you supply spare parts to Nigeria?
Yes. Genuine Sinotruk HOWO spare parts — including LNG engine components, cryogenic tank service parts, gearbox kits, and axle components — can be co-shipped with your truck order or dispatched separately by air freight.
What engine emission standard is available?
We supply Euro II and Euro V configurations. Euro II is the standard export specification for the Nigerian market. Please confirm your preferred emission standard at the time of inquiry.
