Your Guide to Chinese Truck Spare Parts in Africa
We don’t just sell trucks. We make sure your fleet stays on the road.
Why Parts Availability Matters
When you buy a used Chinese truck, finding Chinese truck spare parts in Africa locally is just as important as the truck itself. A truck that sits idle waiting for parts loses you money every day.
That is why we make sure every buyer of Chinese truck spare parts in Africa knows exactly where to find them before their truck even arrives at the port.
Across West and East Africa, HOWO, Shacman, FAW and FOTON trucks share common platforms, which means parts are available in major trading hubs — Lagos, Accra, Nairobi, Dar es Salaam, Addis Ababa, Johannesburg and Dubai. For the components that are harder to find locally, we ship directly from China. Either way, you are never left waiting months for a simple fix.

China’s Scrappage Policy: Why Used Parts Are Getting Better & Cheaper
Since 2024, China’s government has been running a massive vehicle trade-in program (以旧换新). The goal is to retire millions of older trucks and buses early. By 2025, over 8 million vehicles had already been scrapped through this program.
What does this mean for you? A growing supply of high-quality used Chinese truck parts at very competitive prices. These parts come from trucks that were well-maintained in China’s domestic fleet, retired early with plenty of life left in engines, transmissions, axles, and electronics. The result is a steady stream of genuine parts — tested, inspected, and far cheaper than new OEM equivalents.
Compared to buying new, used scrappage parts typically save you 60–70%. And because the recycling process is government-regulated, the quality standards are consistent. Every part is inspected before resale — you are not getting junk.
We have a detailed breakdown of available parts, quality checks, and real pricing in our latest guide: Quality Used Chinese Truck & Pickup Parts — How China’s Scrappage Policy Is Making Spare Parts Better & Cheaper. It covers what’s available right now, cost comparisons, and how to order.

Our Warranty & After-Sales Commitment
Buying a used truck from China is only half the story — what happens after the truck arrives matters just as much. That is why every truck we export comes with a clear, written after-sales commitment, not vague promises.
What every HebeiCar truck includes:
- Video inspection before shipment — you watch the actual engine start, gearbox operation and a full walkaround before anything is loaded. See what a real visit and inspection looks like in our Nigerian buyer factory visit story.
- Third-party inspection available — arrange SGS or CCIC inspection before loading; we prepare the truck and handle the logistics.
- Loading documentation — every truck is photographed and filmed at loading so its condition on departure is on record.
- Full shipping insurance — we insure every shipment, and if damage occurs in transit we support you with the claim documents from start to finish.
- After-delivery support — WhatsApp support for technical questions, plus help sourcing any part you need, locally or from China.
Warranty coverage is confirmed per truck and stated in writing in your quotation before you pay the deposit — no hidden conditions, no fine print. Ask us about the specific unit you are interested in and we will put the terms in writing.
After-sales Services We Offer
🔍 Pre-Shipment Inspection
Every truck is inspected by experienced mechanics before shipping. We send you a video of the engine running, gearbox operation, and a full walkaround.
📦 Recommended Spares Package
We can help you order a starter spare parts kit along with your truck — filters, belts, gaskets, and commonly replaced wear items. Much cheaper to buy with the truck than to source later.
📞 Ongoing Support
After your truck arrives, we remain available on WhatsApp for technical questions. We can also connect you with parts suppliers in your country.
Recommended Spare Kits
To keep your truck running for the first 6-12 months, we recommend ordering one of these starter kits with your truck:
| Kit | Contents | Est. Price |
|---|---|---|
| Basic Kit | Oil filter, fuel filter, air filter, fan belt, 1 set of brake shoes | $150–$250 |
| Standard Kit | Basic kit + 1 set leaf spring bushing, 1 set shock absorbers, 1 set brake chambers | $400–$600 |
| Premium Kit | Standard kit + 1 set injectors, 1 turbocharger gasket kit, 2 spare tires | $900–$1,500 |
How Parts Ordering & Shipping Works
Ordering parts from us is simple, whether you are a new buyer or an existing customer:
- Send us your details — truck model, engine type (e.g. Weichai WD615, Cummins ISM), and chassis number.
- Get a confirmed quote — we cross-reference our parts database and send you a line-by-line quote with prices and availability.
- Choose delivery — air freight (3–7 days), sea freight (20–30 days to major African ports), or courier DHL/FedEx (5–10 days) for small orders.
- Track and receive — we provide tracking and packing lists, and stay available if anything is missing or damaged on arrival.
Buying a starter spare kit together with your truck is the most cost-effective option — parts share the same container, so you save on freight and have what you need the day the truck arrives.
