Recently, a customer from Mali signed a contract with LuYi Auto to purchase 15 customized oil tank semi trailers, which are specifically used for cross - border transportation of refined oil in West Africa. These vehicles will become key equipment for connecting the energy channels between Mali and its neighboring countries, further improving the local cross border logistics network.
The oil tank semi trailers exported this time were customized and developed by LuYi Auto for the road conditions in West Africa. The tank body is made of 5mm thick Q345R steel plate. After overall sandblasting and rust removal, as well as 8 step anti corrosion treatment, it can withstand the high temperature and sandy environment on the edge of the Sahara. Each vehicle is equipped with double compartment independent oil tanks (with a single compartment volume of 30 cubic meters), which can support the separate transportation of gasoline and diesel, meeting the mixed transportation needs of refined oil in many West African countries.
The vehicles are equipped with an intelligent anti overflow system and an emergency shut off valve. They have passed the certification of the United Nations "Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous Goods". During cross border transportation, they can monitor the pressure and liquid level in the tank in real time, and automatically cut off the oil pipeline in case of abnormalities. The representative of the Malian customer said during the vehicle inspection: "LuYi's oil tank trucks balance load bearing capacity and safety, especially suitable for the complex road conditions of the multi section highways in West Africa, which will greatly improve the efficiency of our cross border transportation."The person in charge of the foreign trade department of LuYi Auto introduced that the wheelbase design of these vehicles has also been optimized, with a minimum turning radius of only 7.2 meters, enabling them to adapt to the narrow passages in rural sections of Mali. Currently, the first vehicle has been prepared and will be shipped next week. It is expected to arrive in Bamako, the capital of Mali, after 45 days. This cooperation marks the further deepening of LuYi's layout in the West African market, laying a foundation for the subsequent expansion of the logistics equipment market in the French speaking region.
