Shacman Launches New 6×4 Fuel Tanker & PHEV Oilfield Chassis, Leads Hazardous Chemical Vehicle Growth

China’s specialized commercial vehicle industry is seeing a boom in hazardous chemical transportation vehicles, with annual growth of over 70% in oil and gas tanker segments driven by energy infrastructure development and strict safety regulations. Shacman, a pioneer in heavy-duty specialized vehicle manufacturing, achieves dual breakthroughs in early 2026: rolling out the new 6×4 20,000L aluminum fuel tanker and launching the self-developed plug-in hybrid electric (PHEV) oilfield operation chassis via its subsidiary Shaanxi Tongli, solidifying its leading position in energy logistics and new energy special equipment.

Shacman’s new 6×4 fuel tanker, tailor-made for oil and gas transportation, features a 20,000L high-strength aluminum alloy tank body with robotic automatic welding technology, ensuring structural strength and reducing tension impact at the chassis junction. The tanker adopts a multi-compartment design with anti-wave plates inside, effectively dampening fuel sloshing and improving driving stability on rough roads—critical for oilfield and long-distance highway transportation.

Equipped with advanced safety systems including pneumatic bottom valves, pressure relief breather valves and anti-static grounding chains, the tanker fully complies with international ADR safety standards and local regulatory requirements of various countries. Its lightweight aluminum structure cuts vehicle weight by 8% compared with traditional carbon steel tankers, significantly improving fuel efficiency and load capacity. The model supports customized tank volumes from 35,000L to 90,000L and multi-axle configurations, meeting diverse global market demands for petrol, diesel and other petroleum product transportation.

Shaanxi Tongli, Shacman’s wholly-owned subsidiary and the core special vehicle R&D base, officially launched the self-developed 8×4 PHEV oilfield operation chassis, filling the technical gap in Shacman’s new energy oilfield equipment lineup. The chassis features a reliable plug-in hybrid power system with a pure electric cruising range of 130km, perfectly adapting to the short-distance, high-frequency operation characteristics of oilfields.

With an 8×4 drive configuration, it delivers strong load capacity and off-road passability, easily navigating the complex and rugged road conditions of oilfield sites. Supporting both constant current and pulse charging modes, the chassis ensures flexible and efficient power supplement, realizing uninterrupted operation for oilfield construction and logistics. Its hybrid mode cuts fuel consumption and exhaust emissions by over 25% compared with traditional fuel chassis, providing a practical green solution for the oil and gas industry’s low-carbon transformation and cost reduction.

Shacman’s new product launches align with the rapid growth of China’s hazardous chemical transportation vehicle market, where its oil and gas tanker business has maintained an annual growth rate of over 70% for four consecutive years. Backed by a national-level technical center and the northwest China’s largest special vehicle R&D and production base, Shacman adopts a unique integrated development model of chassis and upper body, providing one-stop solutions for energy logistics customers.

The company’s special vehicle sector has an annual production capacity of 80,000 chassis and 40,000 upper bodies, with annual sales revenue reaching 12 billion yuan. Its product portfolio covers hazardous chemical tankers, oilfield operation vehicles, heavy-duty tractors and other categories, with heavy-duty tractors holding a market share of over 90% in China’s large cargo transportation segment. Shacman’s special vehicles are not only popular in the domestic market but also exported to more than 10 countries and regions in Asia, Europe and Africa, serving global green mine construction and energy infrastructure projects.

“Shacman’s new fuel tanker and PHEV oilfield chassis reflect our commitment to scenario-specific innovation and green development,” a Shacman executive stated. “We will continue to leverage our technical advantages in heavy-duty vehicles and special equipment to provide safer, more efficient and low-carbon transportation solutions for the global energy industry.”
