China’s heavy truck industry witnesses a structural boom in 2026, with export volume expected to hit 400,000 units (15%-20% YoY growth) and new energy heavy truck penetration set to break 35%. Shacman, a core player in energy logistics and global expansion, achieves three landmark milestones in early 2026: launching the new national VI-compliant SCS5265GYYSX6 fuel tanker, securing nearly 7,000 overseas orders in January, and posting a 285% YoY surge in new energy heavy truck sales—solidifying its leadership in specialized vehicle innovation, overseas layout and green transformation.SCS5265GYYSX6 Fuel Tanker: National VI Compliance & Scenario-Optimized for Energy Transport
Shacman officially rolled out the all-new SCS5265GYYSX6 fuel tanker in February 2026, a 6×4 specialized vehicle built on the self-developed SX1269MB4WZ1 chassis and fully compliant with China National VI emission standards (GB17691-2018). Tailored for dangerous goods petroleum transportation, the model features a 19.9m³ tank with an effective volume of 18.95m³, a gross weight of 26,000kg and a rated load of 13,270kg, perfectly adapting to oil depot trunk lines and field fuel supply scenarios.

Powered by Weichai WP7 series engines (270-320HP) with fuel consumption as low as 37.05L/100km, it is equipped with WABCO EBS3 system, front disc brakes and tire burst emergency protection devices, forming a multi-layer safety system. The tanker also adopts exhaust pipe front layout, speed limit device and satellite positioning tachograph, fully meeting national dangerous goods transport regulations. Its air suspension rear axle and optional ETC device further improve operational efficiency and adaptability for logistics enterprises.
7,000 Overseas Orders: A Blazing Start for Global Deep Cultivation
Shacman’s overseas business delivered an outstanding performance in January 2026, with cumulative export orders reaching nearly 7,000 units and sales volume surging 12.9% YoY. The highlight was the bulk delivery of 100 X5000 tractors to Vietnam, marking the brand’s first 100-unit shipment in Southeast Asia this year. Africa market saw actual sales of over 3,000 heavy trucks, Malaysian customers signed hundreds of units of orders, and sales in Central and South America rose sharply YoY.

Backed by its “localization deep cultivation” strategy, Shacman’s scenario-adapted products have won wide recognition in emerging markets. Its fuel tankers and heavy trucks, optimized for high-temperature, cold and off-road conditions, have become the first choice for energy and infrastructure projects in Central Asia, Africa and Southeast Asia. The brand’s global service network and 17 KD plants further shorten delivery cycles and improve on-site after-sales support, laying a solid foundation for hitting the 2026 export target.
285% NEV Growth & Industry Trends: Dual Drivers of Green and Global Development
Shacman’s new energy business maintained an explosive growth momentum in January 2026, with a 285% YoY surge in new energy heavy truck sales, ranking among the top five in the industry and leading the green transformation of the heavy truck sector. Following the delivery of 50 hydrogen fuel cell heavy trucks to Yulin in January—equipped with 215kW self-developed fuel cell systems and 8×385L hydrogen supply systems—the brand further enriched its new energy product matrix, filling the gap of long-range hydrogen heavy trucks in short-haul transportation scenarios.

The new product launch and market performance align with the 2026 heavy truck industry development trend: export has become the core growth driver of the industry, with fuel heavy trucks continuing to dominate emerging markets due to their high cost performance and complete supply chain; new energy heavy trucks have shifted from policy-driven to market-driven, with the industry expected to sell 300,000 units in 2026. Shacman’s “Zhihui, Zhiyuan, Zhihuan” three new energy product series cover tractors, cargo trucks and special vehicles, forming a multi-technical route layout of pure electric, hybrid and hydrogen fuel.
