Why HOWO Trucks Are Popular in Kenya
One reason HOWO trucks are becoming extremely popular is affordability compared to European brands. Many transport businesses prefer buying one new HOWO truck instead of importing older second-hand trucks with uncertain maintenance histories.
Another factor is financing accessibility. Dealers and banks now actively target:
- SMEs
- Fleet startups
- Logistics companies
- Hardware distributors
- Contractors
- Sacco transport businesses
The availability of low deposits and longer repayment periods has made truck ownership more realistic for young entrepreneurs.

- Proof of income or contracts
