Against the backdrop of a sluggish global heavy-duty truck market, Shacman has bucked the trend with a stellar export performance in 2025, while breaking new ground in hydrogen mobility and deepening its presence in emerging markets. The brand’s dual focus on new energy innovation and localized services has solidified its position as a key player in the global commercial vehicle sector.
Hydrogen Milestone: First Shipment to Australia
A major highlight came on May 30, when Proton Motors—Shacman’s new energy subsidiary—shipped its first batch of hydrogen-powered heavy trucks to Australia, marking China’s first mass export of developed-market-certified hydrogen heavy vehicles. Equipped with a 240kW hydrogen fuel system and next-gen electric drive axle, the trucks deliver a 500km range and integrate advanced safety features including AEB and lane departure monitoring, meeting Australia’s strict environmental and performance standards.
Shacman also signed a letter of intent for 20 more units, targeting mining and port logistics. “This partnership combines our hydrogen tech with localized infrastructure,” a Shacman executive noted, adding plans to co-build refueling networks across Oceania.
Export Growth Outpaces Global Market
In Q1 2025, Shacman’s heavy truck export orders soared 170% year-on-year, with actual sales up over 150%—a stark contrast to the global market downturn. Mature markets have embraced its new energy lineup: a German green logistics firm purchased 100 Shacman pure electric heavy trucks after rigorous testing, deploying them in Hamburg and Berlin to leverage local emission subsidies.
These electric models offer 400km+ range and 1-hour fast charging (20% to 80%), ideal for urban and medium-haul tasks. In 2024, Shacman already held 10% of China’s new energy heavy truck market, translating to one in ten domestic sales.
Emerging Markets Secure Long-Term Ties
In Africa, Shacman’s 8×4 dump trucks reinforced its foothold in Ghana, where a loyal customer placed a new order for 10 units—bringing cumulative purchases to 200 over five years. The trucks, widely used in mining and infrastructure, are valued for their load-bearing capacity and durability in local conditions.
Localized production has amplified this success: KD assembly plants in Ethiopia and Morocco cut costs while speeding up deliveries, supporting growth in Vietnam, the Philippines, and Tanzania. Shacman’s regional teams tailor marketing and service plans to local policies, driving steady market share gains.
As global demand for low-carbon transport accelerates, Shacman’s hybrid strategy—combining hydrogen innovation, electric vehicle scale, and emerging market loyalty—positions it for further growth. With its proven ability to adapt to diverse markets and technologies, the brand is set to maintain its export momentum.
