The global heavy-duty truck industry witnesses dynamic changes in mid-March 2026, with extreme cold adaptability testing of electric heavy trucks gaining traction, megawatt-level super charging infrastructure expanding rapidly, and overseas high-end logistics demand surging. Shacman, a leading global commercial vehicle brand, releases the latest verified updates: signing a 1,000-unit cooperation memorandum in Saudi Arabia on March 16, strengthening its light truck lineup with the Delong G300Pro, and advancing its 2026 performance goals. All content is based on official announcements and the latest industry data as of March 17, 2026, with no fictional information.
On March 16, 2026, Shacman officially signed a 1,000-unit cooperation memorandum with strategic partners in Saudi Arabia, marking a key breakthrough in the Middle East market this month. Prior to the signing, Shacman’s sales team conducted in-depth market research in Saudi Arabia, collected localized improvement suggestions, and carried out technical exchanges to adapt products to local high-temperature and sandy environments. This cooperation follows Shacman’s 104% year-on-year export growth in 2025, further consolidating its presence in the Middle East’s heavy truck market with customized solutions.
Shacman continues to enrich its light truck product matrix with the Delong G300Pro, a high-end fuel model launched at its 2026 Partner Conference. Powered by a Cummins D2.5N engine (170–185 HP) matched with a Fast 2.0 8AMT gearbox, the model improves shift response by 40% and acceleration by 5.2% over competitors, with industry-leading fuel efficiency. Its “quiet and luxurious cab” design, 1.8-meter super-wide lying space, and 3.5-decibel noise reduction significantly enhance driver comfort, making it ideal for intercity logistics and long-haul transportation.
In line with its 2026 development strategy, Shacman held a performance contract signing ceremony on March 2, with Chairman Liu Yi emphasizing the importance of customer-centricity, practical work, and team collaboration. The contract clarifies goals for sales, R&D, and after-sales services, focusing on value marketing and rapid market response to meet diverse customer needs, laying a solid foundation for achieving the first-quarter “good start” target.
Shacman’s latest moves align with the 2026 industry trends. Tesla recently launched winter testing of its Semi electric heavy truck in Alaska, aiming to verify its adaptability in extreme cold environments, which is expected to boost the penetration rate of electric heavy trucks in alpine regions from less than 5% to over 15%. Meanwhile, Huawei held a heavy truck super charging ecosystem conference, launching a megawatt-level super charging solution that reduces electric heavy truck charging time to 15 minutes, solving range anxiety.
In 2025, Shacman’s commercial vehicle sales reached 28,000 units, a 15% year-on-year increase. Its multi-energy product matrix covers diesel, LNG, pure electric, and hydrogen models, with a global network of 13 KD factories and over 330 service stations ensuring efficient delivery and localized support. “Shacman’s Saudi cooperation and Delong G300Pro promotion reflect our commitment to global expansion and product upgrading,” said a Shacman spokesperson. “We will keep pace with industry trends to provide reliable transportation solutions for global customers.”
