Road Sweeper Truck Project Delivered to Timor-Leste for Efficient Street Cleaning

Report Date: August 22, 2018

In August 2018, a Timor-Leste road cleaning service company purchased a Road Sweeper Truck solution together with Dongfeng water sprinkler trucks to improve urban street cleaning efficiency. The project included two units of 15,000-liter water sprinkler trucks and one Dongfeng road sweeper truck designed for daily municipal cleaning operations.

The customer required reliable cleaning vehicles suitable for local road conditions and right-hand drive operation. Therefore, our team provided a customized fleet solution with Dongfeng chassis, Cummins engine power, and configurations suitable for street washing and sweeping applications.

Customer Background

The customer was a professional road cleaning service company based in Timor-Leste. Its main business involved providing street cleaning and sweeping services for local areas.

As urban infrastructure develops, efficient road maintenance equipment becomes increasingly important. Cleaning companies need vehicles that can handle regular street washing, dust removal, and sweeping tasks while maintaining stable operation.

For this project, the customer planned to upgrade its cleaning fleet with specialized vehicles. The goal was to improve cleaning efficiency and provide more professional road maintenance services.

The final project included:

• 2 units of Dongfeng 15,000-liter water sprinkler trucks
• 1 unit of Dongfeng road sweeper truck
• Right-hand drive configuration
• Cummins 190 HP engine

Customer Challenge

Before purchasing the new vehicles, the customer needed to solve several operational challenges.

First, road cleaning operations require different functions. Water spraying helps reduce dust and clean road surfaces, while sweeping equipment collects debris and maintains road cleanliness. Therefore, a combination of water trucks and sweeper trucks was more suitable than using only one type of vehicle.

In addition, Timor-Leste’s road conditions and driving requirements needed to be considered. Since the customer operates in a right-hand drive market, the vehicle configuration had to match local regulations and working habits.

Meanwhile, budget control was also an important factor. The customer needed dependable equipment that could provide long-term value without unnecessary investment.

Road Sweeper Truck and Water Truck Solution

For this project, our engineers designed a complete street cleaning vehicle solution based on the customer’s application requirements.

We supplied two Dongfeng 15,000-liter water sprinkler trucks for road washing and dust control. Meanwhile, we provided one Dongfeng Road Sweeper Truck for dust collection and street cleaning operations.

The main configuration included:

• Product: Dongfeng water sprinkler truck and road sweeper truck
• Water tank capacity: 15,000 liters
• Road sweeper dust collection hopper: 1.5 m³
• Additional water capacity on sweeper truck: 4,000 liters
• Chassis: Dongfeng
• Engine: Cummins 190 HP
• Steering type: Right-hand drive

The water sprinkler trucks provide strong water spraying capability for daily road maintenance. In addition, the road sweeper truck combines sweeping and dust collection functions to improve cleaning efficiency.

By combining these two types of cleaning vehicles, the customer could complete multiple operations with better workflow management.

Product Advantages for Street Cleaning Applications

A professional road cleaning fleet requires equipment that matches actual working conditions. Therefore, the selected vehicles focused on reliability, efficiency, and easy operation.

The Dongfeng 15,000-liter water sprinkler truck provides a large water capacity for extended cleaning operations. As a result, operators can reduce the frequency of water refilling and improve daily productivity.

Moreover, the road sweeper truck features a 1.5 m³ dust collection hopper and a 4,000-liter water system. This configuration supports dust suppression and waste collection during sweeping operations.

The Cummins 190 HP engine also provides sufficient power for road cleaning applications. Meanwhile, the right-hand drive configuration helps the vehicles adapt to the customer’s local market requirements.

For overseas buyers, selecting the correct chassis and configuration is essential. A suitable vehicle design can improve operating efficiency and reduce adjustment costs after delivery.

Manufacturing and Quality Control Process

After confirming the technical requirements, our engineering team started production according to the customer’s specifications.

First, engineers checked the chassis configuration, cleaning system requirements, and vehicle application details. Next, the production team completed the tanker body, sweeping system installation, and vehicle assembly.

During manufacturing, key components were inspected to ensure proper operation. In addition, the cleaning functions were checked before export preparation.

Our factory experience with special vehicles allows us to provide customized solutions for different international markets. Whether customers require water trucks, road sweepers, or combined cleaning fleets, our team can support project planning and production.

Export Preparation and Delivery

After production completion, the vehicles were prepared for shipment to Timor-Leste.

The export process included vehicle inspection, configuration confirmation, and logistics preparation. Furthermore, our team coordinated the project details to ensure the vehicles matched the customer’s operational expectations.

For international buyers, export support is an important part of vehicle purchasing. A successful delivery requires cooperation between engineering, production, and logistics teams.

Therefore, we focus not only on manufacturing vehicles but also on providing complete project support.

Customer Value and Project Results

The Timor-Leste project helped the customer establish a more efficient road cleaning operation. With two water sprinkler trucks and one road sweeper truck, the company gained a complete solution for street washing, dust control, and debris collection.

Furthermore, the right-hand drive Dongfeng vehicles were suitable for local operating conditions. The combination of reliable chassis, practical cleaning systems, and customized configuration improved the customer’s daily service capability.

Overall, this successful export project demonstrates our experience in supplying municipal cleaning vehicles for overseas markets. From vehicle selection and customization to production and delivery, we provide professional support for international commercial vehicle buyers.
