China’s commercial vehicle industry is accelerating towards intelligence and green transformation in 2026, with the intelligent special vehicle sector growing 68% YoY and new energy light truck penetration expected to reach 28%. Driven by urban environmental upgrading and smart logistics demand, Shacman makes two major new moves in late February 2026: partnering with Sinian Zhijia for L4 autonomous sweeper R&D and officially launching the Zhiyun S300 Express pure electric light truck, aligning with industry trends while expanding its smart and new energy product matrix.
L4 Autonomous Sweeper Partnership
On February 24, 2026, Shacman’s subsidiary announced a cooperation with Sinian Zhijia to develop L4-level autonomous driving software and hardware for 18-ton pure electric sweeping trucks. This project focuses on achieving high-precision edge cleaning, dynamic obstacle avoidance and efficient route planning, addressing the core pain points of traditional sanitation operations such as high labor costs and low efficiency. The first batch of vehicles is scheduled for delivery in Q2 2026 and will undergo commercial operation tests in designated cities, marking Shacman’s official entry into the intelligent sanitation vehicle market.
Zhiyun S300 Express Launch
Shacman also launched the Zhiyun S300 Express pure electric light truck at its 2026 Partner Conference in Baoji, a flagship model tailored for urban distribution and express logistics. Equipped with an advanced electric drive system, the model has 7.8% lower energy consumption than competitors and features L2+ level advanced driver assistance systems, enhancing driving safety and efficiency. Its optimized battery layout and efficient thermal management system ensure stable operation in various urban scenarios, making it a cost-effective choice for urban logistics and express delivery companies.
These new moves align with the 2026 commercial vehicle industry trends: intelligent special vehicles are gaining traction with policy support for urban smart transformation, while new energy light trucks are shifting from policy-driven to market-driven growth. The industry report shows that China’s new energy light truck sales will grow 55% YoY in 2026, with pure electric models dominating the urban distribution segment due to road right advantages and low operational costs.
Meanwhile, Shacman maintains robust growth in its core business: January overseas orders reached nearly 7,000 units, with over 3,000 units sold in Africa and hundreds of units ordered in Malaysia. The brand’s multi-power product matrix, covering fuel, gas, pure electric and intelligent models, fully meets diverse market demands. “Shacman’s focus on intelligent sanitation and new energy light trucks reflects our insight into urban development needs,” a Shacman executive said. “We will continue to deepen technological cooperation and launch scenario-adapted products to lead the industry’s transformation.”
