A slightly more expensive configuration with better fuel efficiency, longer tire life and faster parts access can cost less over five years than a cheaper truck that burns more fuel and sits waiting for parts. Run the numbers for your own duty cycle \u2014 don’t accept a supplier’s TCO claim without the underlying assumptions.<\/p>\n <\/span>How to Vet a Chinese Truck Supplier Before You Send a Deposit<\/span><\/h2>\nThis is the part most buyers rush, and it’s the part that determines whether the deal goes well. Here’s the sequence I’d follow:<\/p>\n \n- Ask for the build sheet.<\/strong> Not a brochure \u2014 the actual specification for the truck they’re proposing, with chassis model, engine model, gearbox model, axle ratios, tire size, body dimensions and weights.<\/li>\n
- Request photos and video of the actual unit or the production line.<\/strong> A supplier who can’t or won’t show you the truck being built is a supplier you can’t verify.<\/li>\n
- Confirm the chassis and engine numbers in writing.<\/strong> These go on your import documents and must match the physical truck.<\/li>\n
- Get the inspection and test report.<\/strong> What was checked, by whom, and what were the results.<\/li>\n
- Confirm the parts list and part numbers<\/strong> for your configuration, and where they can be sourced.<\/li>\n
