China’s new energy heavy-duty truck exports surged 150% year-on-year in the first nine months of 2025, with Shacman emerging as a key beneficiary after landing a 300-unit order for its X5000 electric tractors from a Philippine logistics giant this week . The deal underscores how Chinese manufacturers are capitalizing on clean energy policies sweeping Southeast Asia, even as global commercial vehicle forecasts face modest headwinds.
X5000 Electric Tractor Breaks Into Philippine Market
The X5000 order, valued at over $12 million, marks Shacman’s largest single electric truck sale in Southeast Asia. Equipped with 450kWh batteries and 1.5-hour fast-charging capability, the tractors will serve Manila’s port-to-warehouse routes—where emissions regulations tightened in July 2025. “Shacman’s combination of 400km range and local after-sales support beat European competitors,” said the Philippine logistics firm’s CEO. The model integrates Shacman’s Tianxingjian IoT system, enabling real-time fleet monitoring that cuts downtime by 20% .
35t Crane Truck Gains Traction in Latin America
Parallel to its electric push, Shacman’s 35t Crane Truck is gaining ground in Latin America’s infrastructure boom. Uruguay’s leading construction firm recently added 50 units, citing the model’s reinforced chassis and fuel-efficient Weichai engine . “Chinese equipment matches European quality at 30% lower prices,” noted a Uruguayan procurement manager. The crane trucks join Shacman’s growing Latin American fleet, which includes 200 L3000 delivery vehicles deployed in Brazil earlier this year.
New X6000 Lightweight Model Debuts for Global Haulage
Shacman also unveiled the 2025 X6000 heavy-duty truck at last week’s Bangkok Commercial Vehicle Show, targeting long-haul markets. The model features an aluminum alloy frame and carbon-fiber cab—tech that slashes weight by 15% while boosting payload capacity . Powered by a WP13H engine with 52% thermal efficiency, it delivers 12% better fuel economy than its predecessor. “This aligns with our customers’ dual needs for sustainability and profitability,” said Shacman’s global sales director.
Industry Shifts: New Energy + Intelligence Takes Center Stage
The moves reflect 2025’s defining industry trend: the shift from traditional diesel to “new energy + intelligence” powertrains . While global medium-heavy commercial vehicle sales are projected to edge down 1.4% next year, battery-electric models are growing 12x faster, driven by battery costs falling to $100/kWh . Shacman is expanding its Thai KD factory to meet demand, with plans to produce 10,000 units annually by 2026.
With 18% of China’s new energy heavy truck export market, Shacman aims to boost its global share to 25% by 2027. “Our focus on region-specific models—like the tropical-optimized X5000 and rugged 35t Crane Truck—resonates with local needs,” the sales director added.
