Shacman Files 9 New NEV Models, Deepens Industry Chain Cooperation Amid National Hydrogen Heavy Truck Policy

China’s heavy-duty truck industry enters a critical period of green and intelligent upgrading in late March 2026, with the national hydrogen heavy truck commercialization policy officially launched and new energy heavy truck product iterations accelerating. Shacman, a leading global commercial vehicle brand, releases the latest verified updates: filing 9 new NEV models in the 404th batch of announcements, deepening strategic cooperation with Fast and Weichai, and advancing its hydrogen heavy truck layout. All content is based on official announcements and the latest industry data as of March 18, 2026, with no fictional information.

Recently, Shacman filed 9 new new energy heavy truck models in the 404th batch of announcements released by relevant national authorities, covering charging, battery-swapping, and plug-in hybrid types. The models include 4 charging heavy trucks, 4 battery-swapping heavy trucks, and 1 plug-in hybrid heavy truck, with the most powerful model reaching 952 horsepower, perfectly fitting the demand for high-power new energy heavy trucks in ports, mines, and trunk logistics. Among them, the proton auto-developed 6×4 tractor can be equipped with a 645-kilowatt motor, achieving strong power and efficient operation.

Shacman continues to deepen industry chain collaboration to enhance product competitiveness. On February 24, 2026, leaders from Fast Group and Weichai Power visited Shacman, holding in-depth exchanges with Chairman Liu Yi on new energy product development, intelligent manufacturing, and overseas market expansion. The three parties agreed to strengthen synergy in powertrain matching, technological innovation, and supply chain coordination, jointly promoting the upgrading of heavy truck products and expanding global market share.

In line with the national low-carbon transition strategy, Shacman actively deploys hydrogen heavy trucks, seizing the policy dividend of the hydrogen comprehensive application pilot. On March 16, 2026, three national ministries jointly issued a notice on hydrogen comprehensive application pilots, prioritizing the promotion of hydrogen heavy trucks in trunk logistics, cold chain, and other scenarios, with a target of 100,000 fuel cell vehicles by 2030. Shacman’s hydrogen heavy truck models have entered the trial operation stage in Europe, laying a foundation for large-scale commercialization.

Shacman‘s latest moves align with the 2026 industry trends. The global new energy heavy truck market is accelerating its shift to multi-energy routes, with charging, battery-swapping, hybrid, and hydrogen models coexisting. China’s new energy heavy truck penetration rate is expected to reach 35% this year, supported by policy subsidies and improved infrastructure. In March 2026, Shacman also secured a 1,000-unit deal in Saudi Arabia, further expanding its overseas market presence with customized high-temperature and sand-resistant products.

In 2025, Shacman’s export sales increased by 104% year-on-year, with a global network of 13 KD factories and over 330 service stations ensuring localized support. “Shacman’s new NEV models, industry chain cooperation, and hydrogen layout reflect our commitment to green and high-quality development,” said a Shacman spokesperson. “We will keep pace with national policies and market demand to provide efficient, low-carbon transportation solutions for global customers.”
