Enter 'HOWO' into Googoo Images to see Volvo lookalikes (as well as Steyr, Cummins engines, try also 'Sinoway' / 'Sinotruck' - looks like Ford Cargo cab . . . )

China is (already) the largest market for passenger cars. I expect that trucks are pretty big, too.

Bits of all sorts in that. Strange tread pattern for a steer axle tyre.
