Hong Kong Transport - Trucks
The Hong Kong Truck Culture
The number of Trucks, Vans* and Special Purpose Vehicles (Light, Medium & Heavy) registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 120,000 - 125,000 vehicles and presumably new trucks registered are offset by old trucks being retired or sold over the border in China.
*Vans are classified as Light Goods Vehicles and are not shown in this album
In Hong Kong Trucks are classified as GOODS VEHICLES By the Transport Department - see below
☛Light Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight not exceeding 5.5 tonnes.
☛Medium Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 5.5 tonnes but not exceeding 24 tonnes.
☛Heavy Goods Vehicles - Goods vehicles of permitted gross vehicle weight exceeding 24 tonnes but not exceeding 38 tonnes.
The major truck types you tend to see in urban areas are trucks carrying construction materials or waste, dump trucks, concrete mixers and all sizes of delivery trucks... outside of the urban areas it is container trucks and large trucks carrying construction materials.
The following brands of Trucks can be seen on the streets of Hong Kong and include:-
Beiben ✚ Bell ✚ CAMC ✚ CNHTC ✚ DAF ✚ Dennis ✚ Dong Feng ✚ FAW ✚ Fuso ✚ Foton ✚ Ford ✚ Hino ✚ Howo ✚ Hyundai ✚ Isuzu ✚ Iveco ✚ JAC ✚ Kato ✚ KIA ✚ Liebherr ✚ MAN ✚ Mercedes Benz ✚ Mitsubishi ✚ Nissan ✚ Renault ✚ Scania ✚ Shacman ✚ Sinotruk ✚ Suzuki ✚ Toyota ✚ UD ✚ Volvo ✚ Zoomlion
Hong Kong is a brand conscious place even for trucks (!) hence the popularity of the European brands, Scania and Man are very popular and even the older trucks look the business and they are utterly reliable.
Isuzu is the market leader in terms of sale volume for all types of trucks.

This is where the old used shipping containers go when they are no longer up to standards for the shipping compainies. These are what get loaded onto ships by the various sets of cranes that stand on the harbor's edge like gigantic imperial walkers.
These Containers have been all over the world and now they are stacked up in gigantic block sculptures where they hope to be sold as storage or living quarters, or maybe even as shipping containers again. I wonder if the people who stack them are aware of their role as structural artists.
ICE !! lots of it !!
TWO of these 48qt coolers -- one half full of food & drinks.
the rest was all ICE !!
Some shredded but mostly those large, slow-melting blocks. The second cooler was sealed tight and wrapped in a thermal blanket so the ice would make it till the end of BM
To save gas and reduce stress on the engine while crossing the Sierra Nevada, I waited till Reno to fill the containers with ice and also filled the two 5-gallon water containers -- that was the straw that broke my camel's back. When inflated these plastic water containers were so big, they seriously messed up all my arrangements.
LESSON LEARNED -- try this @ home before leaving !!
