In-depth market research in Saudi Arabia to accurately match customer needs
In order to further understand the actual needs of the Saudi Arabian commercial vehicle market, the Henan HTD Industrial Team recently went to Saudi Arabia and visited many local logistics companies, construction companies and mining groups to discuss in depth the core needs of the Saudi market for commercial vehicles such as dump trucks and tractors. This inspection not only consolidated the existing partnership, but also provided an important basis for HTD Industrial future product optimization and service upgrades in the Saudi market.
Analysis of the main application industries and needs of Saudi dump trucks
Construction industry: efficient transportation to cope with high temperature and heavy load challenges
Main uses: transportation of sand, gravel, cement, and construction waste.
Industry difficulties: Extreme high temperatures in summer, vehicle cooling systems are prone to failure. Dust accelerates engine and air filter wear. Construction sites have poor road conditions, and vehicles require high load-bearing capacity and impact resistance.
Mining and quarrying: durability test under harsh working conditions
Main uses: ore, gravel transportation.
Industry difficulties: The unpaved roads in the mining area cause the frame to be easily deformed. Some customers require vehicles to operate at 10%-20% over the rated load. Ore debris accelerates the rust of the cargo box and chassis.
Municipal and garbage disposal: balance between environmental protection and reliability
Main uses: urban construction waste, domestic garbage transfer.
Industry difficulties: Garbage leachate accelerates the rust of metal parts. There are many loading and unloading points, and the clutch and brake wear is large.
