If you've searched "Sinotruk Kenya" or "CFAO Sinotruk", you're not alone. Thousands of Kenyans are looking for reliable commercial trucks for logistics, construction, agriculture and distribution.

One question appears repeatedly:

Is Sinotruk the same as HOWO?

The answer is yes and no.

Is Sinotruk the Same as HOWO?

SINOTRUK is the manufacturer, while HOWO is its best-known truck brand. Think of it this way:

  • Toyota manufactures the Hilux and Land Cruiser.
  • Isuzu manufactures the NPR, NQR and FRR.
  • SINOTRUK manufactures the HOWO H2, H3, NX, TX and HOWO MAX.

When someone says they own a HOWO truck, it means they own a truck manufactured by SINOTRUK.
