China's DFAC Tianjin RHD 9m³ Garbage Trucks Boost Antigua's Tourism Cleanliness - Cummins-Powered & Hurricane-Ready

Antigua's waste crisis meets its match as Chinese manufacturer, Hubei Chengli Special Automobile Co., Ltd, shiped DFAC Tianjin right-hand-drive (RHD) compactors to the Caribbean. Engineered for island challenges, these 9m³ units feature U.S.-built Cummins engines and coral-road resilience – critical for Antigua's narrow heritage streets and salt corrosion.
