Sinotruk enters Libyan market through Benghazi-based Aseel Auto

Aseel Auto Import Company has announced its appointment as the exclusive distributor for Sinotruk, one of China’s largest heavy-duty truck manufacturers. The announcement was made during the opening of Aseel Auto’s first branch in Benghazi on Wednesday, 17 September.

Founded in 1956, Sinotruk is a state-owned enterprise that produces a wide range of heavy-duty trucks used in construction, mining, logistics and transport. The company also operates subsidiaries, including Sinotruk (Hong Kong) Limited, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange since 2007.

The agreement with Aseel Auto forms part of Sinotruk’s expansion strategy in Africa, where it has already established branches and agencies in markets such as Egypt, South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana.

In Libya, the partnership is expected to make heavy trucks and related services more accessible to businesses engaged in infrastructure, transport and construction projects.
