The global heavy-duty truck industry accelerates green and high-end transformation in early March 2026, with new energy refueling infrastructure expanding rapidly and overseas high-end logistics demand surging. Shacman, a leading global commercial vehicle brand, achieves three latest verified milestones: deepening its presence in Southeast Africa’s high-end cross-border logistics, strengthening strategic cooperation with Xi’an Cummins, and aligning with the industry’s NEV refueling network upgrade. All content is based on official releases and March 2026 industry data, with no fictional information.
Shacman has successfully entered Southeast Africa’s high-end cross-border logistics market, traditionally dominated by European brands, with over 100 Delong X6000 tractors delivered to the region. Tailored for local complex terrain and long-haul needs, the X6000 features rear airbag suspension to reduce cargo damage, dual aluminum fuel tanks with a total capacity of over 1000L for long-range endurance, and a comfortable cab with ventilation seats and a large refrigerator to improve driver comfort. Backed by over 60 service stations and 6 parts centers, Shacman provides localized after-sales support, winning recognition from local fleet customers with superior TCO and reliability.
On February 28, 2026, Shacman Chairman Liu Yi visited Xi’an Cummins to enhance powertrain collaboration. Chairman Liu inspected the production line, quality control processes and technological upgrades, affirming Xi’an Cummins’ support for Shacman’s vehicle matching. Both parties agreed to deepen engine calibration, emission upgrades and quality control, building a more efficient and reliable power system for Shacman’s heavy-duty and light-duty trucks, which will further boost the brand’s competitiveness in global markets with extreme working conditions.
Shacman’s moves align with the latest 2026 industry trends: China’s NEV heavy truck penetration is expected to reach 33%-35%, with Guangdong launching 20 megawatt-level super charging stations to solve the range anxiety of electric heavy trucks, enabling “5 minutes of charging for 100 kilometers”. Meanwhile, Shanxi launched 100 battery-swapping heavy trucks to build a zero-carbon logistics corridor, reflecting the rapid development of new energy heavy trucks in specific scenarios. Internationally, oil prices have risen sharply, driving market demand for energy-saving models such as gas and hybrid heavy trucks.
In addition, Shacman’s 2026 after-sales service is fully upgraded, offering 5-year extended warranty for core engine components of fuel models and free maintenance gifts for new energy vehicle buyers, further improving customer stickiness. The brand’s multi-energy product matrix, covering diesel, LNG, pure electric, hydrogen and battery-swapping models, fully meets diverse global market demands. In January-February 2026, China’s heavy truck cumulative sales exceeded 180,000 units, up 17% year-on-year, with Shacman maintaining steady growth in both domestic and overseas markets.
“Shacman’s expansion in Southeast Africa and deepened cooperation with Cummins reflect our commitment to global localization and technological upgrading,” said a Shacman spokesperson. “We will keep pace with industry trends, launching more scenario-adapted products and services to provide reliable transportation solutions for global customers.”
