As China’s commercial vehicle exports surge, Shacman Holdings (SHACMAN) continues to solidify its position as a global leader with strategic launches and localized production initiatives. In 2025, the company achieved milestones in advanced manufacturing, hydrogen fuel innovation, and smart mobility, aligning with industry trends toward sustainability and digitalization.
New Flagship Model Redefines Heavy-Duty Performance
SHACMAN unveiled its X6000 840 HP tractor truck at the 2025 Canton Fair, marking a leap in power and efficiency. Equipped with a Weichai WP17H840E68 engine generating 618 kW of power and an AMT transmission, this model targets high-end logistics markets demanding heavy payload capacity. Its 16.63L displacement and Euro VI emissions compliance make it suitable for Europe and other strict-standard regions. The X6000 also integrates SHACMAN’s Tian Xingjian intelligent networking system, enabling real-time monitoring of fuel consumption, engine status, and maintenance alerts—features praised by Philippine customers during a factory visit.
Hydrogen Fuel Trucks Break into Australian Market
In a groundbreaking move, SHACMAN’s subsidiary Proton Motors exported the first batch of hydrogen-powered heavy trucks to Australia in May 2025. These vehicles, equipped with a 240kW hydrogen fuel system and electric drive axle, offer a 500km range and meet Australia’s stringent environmental regulations. The order includes 20 units for mining and port logistics, supported by localized hydrogen refueling infrastructure partnerships. This milestone positions SHACMAN as a pioneer in zero-emission heavy transport, aligning with global decarbonization goals.
Localized Production Boosts Market Penetration
SHACMAN’s Ethiopia KD plant, launched in collaboration with BEAEKA General Business PLC, began assembling X3000 dump trucks and F3000 tractors with 40% local parts integration. The plant aims to produce 1,500 units annually, reducing delivery times by 35% for East African customers. Similarly, the Morocco plant—operated with Premium Group—achieved 40% localization for X6000 models, targeting North African logistics fleets. These initiatives underscore SHACMAN’s “One Country, One Truck” strategy, tailoring products to regional needs while cutting costs.
Smart Technology Drives Industry Leadership
SHACMAN’s X6000 series leads in autonomous driving innovation, securing China’s first road test license for Level 3 highway driving and Level 4 closed-scene operations. Its hypersensory perception system—combining lidar, cameras, and radar—enables 300m² forward detection, while platoon driving technology optimizes fuel efficiency. The X5000 electric truck, already a hit in Southeast Asia, features 19 fuel-saving technologies and a lightweight 8.35-ton chassis, winning a National Science and Technology Progress Award. In Vietnam, a construction firm recently added 30 X5000 electric trucks to its fleet, citing SHACMAN’s technical support and parts network.
Industry Trends and Export Momentum
China’s new energy heavy truck exports surged 150% year-on-year in January-September 2025, with SHACMAN contributing significantly. The company’s global footprint now spans 140 countries, with 40 overseas offices and 380 service stations. In Africa, SHACMAN holds over 30% market share in Ethiopia’s heavy truck segment, driven by partnerships with local fleets. Europe also saw breakthroughs: the X5000e secured a 500-unit order for Turkish intermodal logistics, marking SHACMAN’s entry into the EU market.
Future Outlook
Looking ahead, SHACMAN plans to expand hydrogen truck production and explore markets like Australia and New Zealand. Its intelligent connected vehicle (ICV) framework will further integrate AI and big data, enhancing fleet management solutions. With a focus on sustainability and localization, SHACMAN remains poised to capitalize on the global shift to electrification and smart mobility.
