China’s heavy truck industry maintains robust growth momentum, with cumulative retail sales reaching 724,600 units from January to November 2025, a year-on-year increase of 33.97% . The sector is further boosted by China’s 2026 large-scale equipment update policy, which allocates 500 billion yuan in ultra-long-term special treasury bonds to support the replacement of pre-National IV commercial vehicles with new energy or National VI models . Seizing these opportunities, Shacman strengthens its global presence with the launch of the next-gen H3000S platform in Saudi Arabia, a $68 million NEV order in Southeast Asia, and its European debut with electric vans, solidifying its position in both traditional and emerging markets .
Next-Gen H3000S Launched in Saudi Arabia with Impressive Fuel Efficiency
On December 24, 2025, Shacman officially unveiled its next-generation H3000S platform in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, featuring 4×2 tractor and 6×4 tipper models tailored for local long-haul logistics and construction needs . A 14-day, 4,653.6-kilometer test drive across Saudi Arabia confirmed the model’s outstanding performance: powered by next-gen M10 and WP12H engines, it achieves fuel consumption of 25-28 L/100km, 2-3 L/100km lower than comparable models . This efficiency gain directly reduces operational costs for local fleets, aligning with Saudi Arabia’s infrastructure expansion under Vision 2030 .
Shacman reported over 60% year-on-year sales growth in Saudi Arabia in 2025. To support the new platform, the brand pledges to expand its after-sales network and ensure timely supply of key spare parts, enhancing total cost of ownership (TCO) advantages for customers . The launch event, attended by 300+ partners and experts, also included a signing ceremony to strengthen local collaborations .
Major NEV Deals in Southeast Asia & European Market Debut
Shacman’s new energy expansion gains traction globally. It signed a $68 million agreement with Thailand’s Kasikorn Logistics to supply 520 Zenith series electric tractors over two years . Equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform and intelligent battery management system, the tractors offer a 350km range and 12% lower energy consumption than industry averages, supporting Kasikorn’s 40% carbon reduction target by 2028 . Two new service centers in Bangkok and Chiang Mai will provide localized support .
The brand also made its European debut at the 2025 Hannover Commercial Vehicle Show with the IEV7 electric van, targeting urban last-mile logistics . Meeting strict ECE R100.3 safety standards, the IEV7 offers 50kWh/80kWh battery options (200km/320km range) and integrates a smart fleet management system . It has secured 180 pre-orders from 12 German and French fleet operators .
Policy Dividend & Industry Trend: Green Transition Accelerates
Shacman’s growth aligns with China’s industry policy direction. The 2026 old truck replacement policy prioritizes new energy vehicles, with subsidies covering pre-National IV scrappage and new NEV purchases . This is expected to drive new energy heavy truck penetration to over 40% in 2026 . Domestically, Shacman ranks among the top 5 heavy truck brands in 2025, with strong performance in the tractor segment, which saw 42.01% year-on-year growth .
“Our focus on market-specific innovation and green solutions positions us well in the global competition,” a Shacman executive stated. “The H3000S launch and international NEV deals demonstrate our commitment to meeting diverse customer needs while embracing the global low-carbon transition.”
