China’s heavy-duty fuel transport vehicle market is stepping into a high-growth phase in 2026, with the industry scale expected to exceed 32 billion yuan and new energy penetration set to hit 20% driven by strict safety regulations and energy infrastructure upgrades. Shacman, a core player in China’s special commercial vehicle sector, achieves two key milestones in early 2026: rolling out the new YLL5321GYY5S heavy-duty fuel tanker and maintaining robust overseas growth with over 3,500 overseas orders in the first 20 days of the year, solidifying its leading position in both domestic oil transport and global heavy truck markets.
New YLL5321GYY5S Fuel Tanker: High Load & National VI Compliance for Oil Logistics
Shacman officially launched the all-new YLL5321GYY5S fuel tanker in early February 2026, built on the self-developed SX1329MB6WQ1 chassis and fully compliant with China National VI emission standards (GB17691-2018). Tailored for large-scale petroleum product transportation, the model boasts a gross weight of 32,000 kg and a rated load capacity of 18,000 kg, with multiple wheelbase options to adapt to different transportation scenarios, from oil depot trunk lines to industrial park distribution.
Equipped with high-strength steel tank body and anti-wave plates inside, it effectively reduces fuel sloshing and improves driving stability on complex roads. The tanker adopts advanced safety configurations including anti-static grounding chains, pressure relief breather valves and pneumatic bottom valves, fully meeting the national mandatory standards for dangerous goods transport vehicles (GB18564.1). Matched with 12R22.5 high-load tires and a reinforced chassis, it ensures reliable operation under heavy load conditions, making it an ideal choice for petrochemical logistics enterprises.
3,500+ Overseas Orders: Fuel Transport Vehicles Boost Global Market Expansion
Shacman’s overseas business maintains a strong growth momentum in 2026, with cumulative overseas orders exceeding 3,500 units in just the first 20 days of January. Following the bulk delivery of 100 X5000 tractors to Vietnam, the company’s customized fuel transport vehicles have also gained high recognition in Southeast Asia, Central Asia and Africa markets, driven by the rapid development of regional energy infrastructure.
In Southeast Asia, Shacman’s fuel tankers, adapted to local high-temperature and high-humidity climates with optimized cooling systems and corrosion-resistant components, have secured multiple batch orders from local petroleum companies. In Central Asia, the cold-region optimized fuel transport models with independent cabin heaters and low-temperature resistant hydraulic systems account for a growing market share, supporting the region’s oil and gas resource development projects. The brand’s 17 global KD plants further shorten delivery cycles and improve localized after-sales support for overseas customers.
Industry Trend: Technology Upgrade & Green Transformation Drive Market Growth
Shacman’s new product launch and market performance align with the 2026 development trend of China’s fuel transport vehicle industry. According to the latest industry report, the domestic fuel transport vehicle market scale will break through 32 billion yuan in 2026, with heavy-duty models accounting for over 65% of the market. The industry is shifting from simple capacity competition to technology and service upgrading, with lightweight design, intelligent safety systems and green power becoming core development directions.
While focusing on traditional high-efficiency fuel tankers, Shacman is also accelerating the R&D of new energy oil transport vehicles, following the industry’s green transformation pace. The brand’s hybrid light truck platform, with 18% lower comprehensive fuel consumption than fuel models, has laid a solid technical foundation for the development of new energy heavy-duty fuel transport vehicles, preparing for the future market demand of low-carbon logistics.
“Shacman’s new YLL5321GYY5S fuel tanker and overseas growth reflect our deep understanding of the oil transport logistics market,” a Shacman executive stated. “We will continue to launch scenario-specific products and strengthen global layout to provide safer, more efficient transportation solutions for the global energy industry.”
