China’s heavy-truck exports are projected to hit a record 320,000 units in 2025, driven by \”Belt and Road\” infrastructure demand and regional growth engines like Southeast Asia’s RCEP benefits and Latin America’s mining boom. Shacman, a key player in this expansion, strengthened its global footprint with a new Mexico assembly plant, flagship powertrain launch, and bulk deliveries to Vietnam, aligning with industry trends toward localized production and efficient power solutions.
Mexico Plant Boosts Latin America Presence
Shacman partnered with Spain’s Sesé to open an SKD assembly plant in Puebla, Mexico, targeting 1,000 units in its first year and 4,000 units by 2028. The facility integrates Chinese manufacturing expertise with local labor advantages, supported by a new after-sales platform offering repair traceability, remote fleet monitoring, and online training. “This plant solidifies our top-five position in Mexico’s commercial vehicle market,” said Carlos Pardo, CEO of Shacman Mexico’s distributor Sparta Motors, which operates 28 dealerships across North America.
C Series Powertrain Marks 20-Year Cummins Partnership
At the 2025 Wuhan Commercial Vehicle Show, Shacman unveiled the C Series premium powertrain to celebrate two decades of collaboration with Cummins. Covering 4L-15L displacements, the platform achieves 5% lower fuel consumption through integrated chassis coupling and an intelligent ECU system, while reducing noise by 1.5 decibels. The launch coincided with delivery of the 30,000th Shacman truck equipped with Xiaoxiang Power, reflecting market recognition of the joint technology platform. “The C Series redefines high-end logistics standards,” noted Wang Kaijun, Cummins China’s engine division GM.
Vietnam Delivery Highlights Southeast Asia Growth
Shacman recently handed over 102 X3000 8×4 dump trucks to a Vietnamese conglomerate with a decade-long partnership. Upgraded from earlier H3000 models, the new units feature 400+ horsepower, U-shaped wear-resistant cargo beds, and enhanced fuel efficiency—tailored for the region’s infrastructure and mining projects. This delivery aligns with Southeast Asia’s 15% annual growth forecast for Chinese heavy-truck imports, fueled by tariff reductions under RCEP.
New Energy & Integrated Solutions Gain Traction
Shacman also launched a new energy integrated cold-chain truck with CIMC Vehicles at the Wuhan show, boasting ±0.5℃ temperature control and 61.2m³ capacity. The model joins its expanding green lineup, which supports China’s 3-5 million electric heavy-truck export target for 2025. “Our dual focus on localized production and efficient power—both traditional and new energy—matches global decarbonization needs,” a Shacman sales executive stated.
With 17 overseas KD plants and 2025 exports nearing 40,000 units, Shacman aims to capture 15% of China’s 320,000-unit export market. The brand continues to strengthen positions in Central Asia, where it holds top market share, while advancing EU certification for its new energy lineup.
