Shacman L3000 Truck Tailor-Made for Algiers Market Officially Launched

The L3000 4×2 standard-load truck, meticulously customized for the Algiers market by Shacman, has made its grand debut. This medium-duty truck, with its outstanding adaptability, reliability, and cost-efficiency, is set to revolutionize the highly competitive logistics and transportation sector in Algeria.  

I. Precise Positioning to Capture Market Segments  

As one of the largest economies in North Africa, Algeria is experiencing sustained growth in infrastructure development, with surging demand for urban distribution and regional logistics. Through in-depth market research, Shacman identified a long-standing monopoly by European brands in the 8-18-ton medium-duty truck segment, characterized by high product costs and operational expenses. The launch of the L3000 directly addresses this gap with a winning combination of high cost-performance + localized service.

The 4×2 drive train configuration keeps the gross vehicle weight (GVW) under 18 tons, fully complying with Algeria’s urban logistics regulations. The 5,700mm wheelbase optimizes cargo capacity while ensuring excellent urban road maneuverability. Notably, the vehicle comes standard with 90 km/h electronic speed limiter, aligning with North Africa’s commercial vehicle safety standards.  

II. Core Configurations Showcasing Technical Excellence

Power train:

The L3000 is equipped with the Wei chai WP6.210E32 engine, a proven 6-cylinder diesel power plant. Although compliant with Euro II emission standards, it has been specially calibrated for North Africa’s fuel quality, ensuring exceptional reliability and lower maintenance costs.With 210 HP output and an 8JS85TM aluminum-shell transmission, the truck delivers robust performance even in challenging road conditions.  

Chassis System:

Featuring Shacman’s proprietary 10-ton single-reduction axle with a 4.625 optimal gear ratio, the L3000 balances strong starting torque and fuel-efficient highway cruising. The 300L aluminum fuel tank extends the driving range to over 1,000 km, meeting the demands of Algeria’s intercity logistics operations.  

III. Localized Design: Excellence in Details

Shaanxi’s engineering team has implemented comprehensive localization upgrades for North Africa’s unique operating environment. The fully sealed cabin, paired with a high-capacity electric AC system, effectively combats the Sahara’s extreme heat. Standard features such as a **hydraulic damping driver’s seat and a multifunctional steering wheel significantly enhance long-haul comfort.  

Safety Enhancements:  

Beyond the 4-channel ABS system, the L3000 introduces an innovative seat belt reminder (for both driver and co-driver). All critical components lights, mirrors, safety glass are E-MARK certified, while reverse alarms and LED daytime running lights come as standard.  

IV. Economic Advantages Redefining Industry Standards  

The L3000 demonstrates unrivaled cost-efficiency in operations. The 11R22.5 tubeless tire with aluminum wheel covers reduce rolling resistance while enhancing aesthetics. Real-world tests confirm 2-3L/100km lower fuel consumption compared to competitors under an 18-ton load, translating to annual savings of ~$5,000 at current Algerian diesel prices.  

Maintenance Optimization:

The Weichai engine’s extended service intervals (30,000 km oil changes) reduce workshop visits by 40% versus European brands. Additionally, aluminum air reservoirs and decorative covers cut 200 kg from the curb weight, allowing higher payload capacity per trip

V. Service Assurance Eliminating Operational Concerns

To ensure worry-free ownership, Shaanxi has established a comprehensive service network across Algeria, with three parts centers (Algiers, Oran, Constantine) stocking over $2 million in inventory for 48-hour parts delivery.  

Statement from Shaanxi’s North Africa Regional GM:

“We don’t just sell trucks—we deliver end-to-end transport solutions.”Each L3000 is equipped with an intelligent fleet management system, enabling real-time vehicle monitoring and proactive maintenance scheduling.
