SHACMAN Heavy Trucks’ Exports Surge Strongly in the First Quarter, with Soaring Orders Demonstrating International Competitiveness

In the first quarter of 2025, SHACMAN’s heavy truck export business witnessed explosive growth. The export order volume soared by more than 170% year-on-year, and the actual number of heavy trucks sold increased by over 150% year-on-year. Against the backdrop of the continued downturn in the global heavy truck market, it bucked the trend and achieved remarkable results. This significant growth not only consolidates SHACMAN’s position in the international heavy truck market but also marks the deep recognition of its products and services by customers worldwide.

In terms of product innovation, SHACMAN has been making continuous efforts. In response to the urgent need for efficient and environmentally friendly transportation in the global logistics industry, SHACMAN launched high-efficiency and energy-saving heavy truck models equipped with the latest technology engines from Weichai. Through optimizing the engine combustion system and the vehicle’s overall transmission efficiency, this series of models has improved fuel economy by 12% compared to the previous generation products, greatly reducing customers’ operating costs. In the Southeast Asian market, with its excellent fuel economy and reliability in adapting to complex road conditions, this model has quickly won the favor of many large local logistics enterprises once launched. In the Thai market alone, it received more than 500 orders in the first quarter.

In the field of new energy heavy trucks, SHACMAN has also performed outstandingly. In 2024, SHACMAN’s new energy heavy truck sales accounted for about 10% of the domestic market, which means that one out of every ten new energy heavy trucks in China is from SHACMAN. Its independently developed pure electric heavy truck has a driving range of over 400 kilometers, and the fast charging technology can charge the battery from 20% to 80% within one hour, meeting the transportation needs of urban short-distance distribution and some medium and long-distance hauls. In some European countries, pure electric heavy trucks can enjoy preferential traffic policies and subsidies given by the government due to their zero-emission advantages, attracting the attention of many logistics enterprises. A German enterprise specializing in urban green distribution purchased 100 SHACMAN pure electric heavy trucks in the first quarter of this year for cargo distribution in cities such as Hamburg and Berlin after conducting strict tests on multiple electric heavy truck models.

In terms of market expansion strategies, SHACMAN has actively laid out in emerging markets and achieved remarkable results. In key markets such as Vietnam, the Philippines, and Tanzania, SHACMAN established special working groups to conduct in-depth research on local market demands, policies and regulations, and competitor situations, and formulated targeted marketing and service plans to ensure the steady growth of sales volume and market share in key regions. At the same time, SHACMAN has accelerated its overseas localized assembly layout. The KD assembly projects in Ethiopia and Morocco have been successfully implemented, effectively reducing production costs, enhancing product price competitiveness, and further opening up the local markets. It is worth mentioning that the technology research and development center established by SHACMAN in Detroit, the United States, has widely recruited professionals in fields such as automotive engineering, power systems, and intelligent driving. These talents collaborate with SHACMAN’s domestic research and development team, injecting strong impetus into product innovation. The Detroit research and development center has played a key role in optimizing the engines of high-efficiency and energy-saving heavy trucks and upgrading the battery management systems of new energy heavy trucks, effectively supporting the improvement of SHACMAN’s product competitiveness in the international market.
