Partnership for Sinotruk and Hendrickson

Hendrickson has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Sinotruk (Hong Kong) Limited, an affiliate of China National Heavy Duty Truck Company (CNHTC) which will see Hendrickson design, develop and manufacture advanced rubber suspension systems to be used in selected heavy-duty trucks manufactured by CNHTC or its affiliates.

CNHTC is China’s largest manufacturer of heavy-duty trucks and Sinotruk Group is the market leader for heavy-duty trucks in China with a market share of over 20 percent. Hendrickson recently established a production facility to provide the suspension systems needed by the company. This facility has the capacity to produce up to 35,000 suspensions annually.

Hendrickson has developed a new and unique suspension that has been designed specifically for the challenging conditions present on Chinese roads and it will be unveiled at the 63rd IAA Commercial Vehicle Show in Hannover, Germany during September.

This new suspension is designed for optimum durability coupled with reductions in weight. Hendrickson says that this model is dramatically lighter than any competitive products offered to the Chinese market.
