Best, New Spare Parts for Trucks
Our company "Alpha Auto" has been selling spare parts for trucks for many years and holds a strong position on the Russian auto parts market.
"Alpha Auto" is a supplier of non-original and genuine parts for trucks as well as specialized vehicles of global brands.
Our latest achievement is the formation of a warehouse with a very large selection of: wholesale auto parts for Chinese trucks of brands such as HOWO, FOTON, SHAANXI, FAW, and others.
Our main focus is the sale of auto parts (air springs) for the trucks of the brands listed above. We have analyzed the entire Russian automotive market, conducted numerous studies and comparisons, and found that many of the trucks used at construction sites and quarries in Russia are of the HOWO brand.
HOWO vehicles are one of the newer products of the Chinese transport industry. HOWO trucks are aimed at both the Chinese and European truck markets and have gained considerable popularity in the Russian Federation. Due to their very low price, they pose significant competition to Russian companies.
When developing and producing HOWO trucks, the expertise of global truck manufacturers was taken into account and used. All major assemblies and units of HOWO are produced under licenses from European, Japanese, and American companies.
HOWO truck production continues to grow; every year they produce an improved model with engines of entirely new generations — Euro, Euro-2, Euro-3. They fully meet our clients' technical requirements.
HOWO dump trucks are equipped with fairly powerful inline six-cylinder diesel engines with turbo intercoolers, manufactured at their own plant on high-tech Daimler Chrysler equipment using the STEYR technology. Transmissions are made under license from Eaton Fuller or ZF. The rear drive axle with hub reduction gears has an actual load capacity of 16 tons, allowing the rear bogie to be loaded up to 32 tons.
The hydraulic body-lift system of the dump trucks is manufactured under license from HYVA. The cab is built according to European drawings and standards inherited from the strategic partner VOLVO, has excellent ergonomics, and is equipped with climate control. The dump truck frame is a double-beam design ("longeron within a longeron"), which increases torsional stiffness.
Another Chinese-made truck that has become widespread and in high demand in the domestic market is FAW.
This truck is slightly less famous but has competed with the HOWO leader in terms of annual dump truck sales on the Russian market.
However, it also requires timely maintenance and repair using quality spare parts.
FAW entered the Russian truck market with several truck variants: CA3253 with a 6x4 wheelbase and CA3310 with an 8x4 wheelbase. In 2008 the lineup was expanded with models CA3252 and CA3312, which comply with EURO 3 standards. Engine displacement and power were increased (350 hp versus 280 hp in previous models). Rear axle reduction gears were strengthened (16 t versus 13 t). The driver's cab was redesigned. Operational and technical characteristics of the air springs and airbags were improved.
The vehicles are adapted to Russian conditions and come with a warranty of 65,000 km or 1 year of operation; they are fully certified.
A new tractor unit CA4180 with a 4x2 wheelbase, air suspension, and excellent design is planned for delivery. The dump truck is equipped for operation both on Russian roads and on European highways. The tractor complies with European standards for fifth-wheel coupling height.
It is worth noting that more and more FOTON dump trucks are appearing on our country's roads today. Many organizations confidently purchase dozens of these tractors because the FOTON brand has proven to be reliable, relatively inexpensive in price and maintenance. This reputation was helped by dump trucks with modest payloads that have long been operated in the Russian Federation.
The most common models are:
BJ 1039 - 1.5 t (a full replacement for the GAZelle);
BJ 1049 - 2.5 t in a version with licensed Perkins and Isuzu engines;
BJ 1069 - 4.5 t representatives of the heavier category; Foton 1099 - 6.5 t; and BJ 1138 - 9.0 t.
And the recently seen on our roads Foton-3251 dump truck.
The situation with SHAANXI trucks can be described similarly to the other trucks presented on the Russian market. They are also affordably priced and inexpensive to maintain. But their main advantage is that their spare parts are completely compatible with HOWO. Therefore, finding the part you need will not be difficult.
Shaanxi dump trucks are fully adapted to Russian conditions: relatively low fuel consumption; reinforced suspension, axles, and body; well-insulated cab, liquid heater; nominal payload of the dump trucks — up to 28 t.
