Shacman Launches WP12H-Powered Models as China Heavy-Truck Exports Near 320k

China’s heavy-truck exports maintained upward momentum in November 2025, with wholesale volumes rising nearly 20% YoY, cementing the full-year forecast of 320,000 units — a historic high driven by “Belt and Road” infrastructure demand and global decarbonization needs. Shacman, a top-three exporter, reinforced its position by launching Weichai-powered logistics trucks, securing 25,000 new energy orders, and delivering bulk X3000 units to Central Asia.

WP12H-2.0-Powered Trucks Debut for High-End Logistics

On December 2, Shacman unveiled its Weichai WP12H-2.0-equipped heavy trucks at a Shanghai launch event, targeting premium express logistics. The co-developed model features a 580Ps engine with 2,550N·m torque, achieving 10% lower fuel consumption via high thermal efficiency technology. It completed durability tests across -40°C to 50°C environments, meeting the rigorous demands of long-haul transportation.

Over 100 units were delivered to Shanghai-based logistics firms on launch day, with customers citing annual fuel savings of over $2,000 and 500,000km service life as key drivers. “This partnership combines Shacman’s chassis expertise with Weichai’s powertrain leadership,” noted a Shacman product executive.

25,000 New Energy Orders & Ecosystem Alliance

At the November CCVS Expo, Shacman announced it had secured 25,000 new energy heavy truck orders for 2025, with hydrogen models leading national sales. The brand also launched a New Energy Ecosystem Alliance with Weichai Power, TELD, and CIMC Vehicles, integrating R&D, charging infrastructure, and smart logistics to solve energy supply pain points.

By October, Shacman’s new energy deliveries neared 20,000 units, including 580kW electric trucks deployed in Xinjiang mines and Shanghai ports. These models use self-developed e-axle technology with energy consumption below 1.2kWh/km — 16% lower than industry averages.

Central Asia Deliveries Boost Overseas Footprint

Shacman recently shipped 150 X3000 6×6 heavy haul tractors to Kazakhstan, a market where it holds top share. The 550-660HP models feature automatic transmissions and all-terrain tires, cutting fuel use by 10% for local mining projects. This delivery aligns with its 30% YoY sales growth in non-Russian markets during H1 2025.

With 17 global KD plants, Shacman’s overseas sales now account for over 30% of total revenue. It is advancing EU certification for electric trucks to tap into the bloc’s “Fit for 55″ decarbonization market.

2026 Outlook: 30% Overseas Sales Target

“Our dual focus on fuel-efficient combustion models and new energy innovation matches diverse global demands,” a Shacman sales director stated. With 2025 exports nearing 40,000 units, the brand aims to drive 30% of total sales from overseas by 2026, prioritizing Southeast Asia’s RCEP benefits and Russia’s localized production expansion.
