Company History

2003 — Foundation

Qingdao Alston Motors Co., Ltd was established in 2003 and began its international business in the tyre export sector. Early export operations helped the company build experience in overseas trade, supply chain coordination, and international customer service.

2005 — HOWO Truck Export Business

Alston Motors began cooperating with SINOTRUK and entered the HOWO truck export business. The company supplied HOWO dump trucks, tractor trucks, cargo trucks, mixer trucks, tanker trucks, and spare parts to overseas buyers, especially in Africa and other developing markets.

2008 — Refurbished Truck Business

To meet the demand for cost-effective heavy-duty trucks, Alston Motors expanded into refurbished HOWO trucks and established its own refurbishment workshop. This business strengthened the company’s ability to serve construction, mining, logistics, and transport customers with different budget requirements.

2012 — Semi Trailer Supply

Alston Motors expanded its product range to semi trailers, including flatbed trailers, low bed trailers, dump trailers, fuel tanker trailers, bulk cement trailers, container trailers, and trailer spare parts. This allowed the company to provide more complete truck and trailer solutions.

2021 — International Business Development

Alston Motors International Limited was registered in the United Kingdom as a sister company, supporting the group’s international business structure and overseas market communication.

2021 — LANDKING Brand Development

The company developed the LANDKING brand, covering trucks and construction machinery for overseas markets. Product configurations can be adjusted according to road conditions, working environments, loading requirements, and project applications.

2023 — Passenger Vehicle Export Expansion

Sinocar Supply Chain Co., Ltd was established as a sister company, focusing on used Toyota car export from China. This expanded the group’s vehicle export services from trucks and trailers to passenger cars and automotive supply chain solutions.
