China’s heavy truck industry maintains a strong recovery momentum in 2026, with January wholesale sales reaching 105,000 units, a 46% year-on-year increase, supported by the continuous implementation of the old truck replacement policy and booming infrastructure demand globally. Shacman, a key leader in the global commercial vehicle sector, achieves two major breakthroughs in early 2026: signing a 1,000-unit cooperation memorandum in Saudi Arabia and launching the all-new Deyu Q500 gas tractor, aligning with the industry’s shift to value competition and green energy transformation.
Shacman recently secured a 1,000-unit cooperation memorandum with strategic partners in Saudi Arabia, marking a solid start for its 2026 overseas market expansion in the Middle East. During a market research trip in Saudi Arabia, Shacman conducted in-depth technical exchanges with local partners, focusing on product adaptation to extreme conditions such as high temperatures and sandstorms, and collected suggestions for localized improvements. This cooperation reflects Shacman‘s commitment to “industry-specific localization” and further strengthens its presence in the Middle East’s high-growth heavy truck market, following its successful launch of the H3000S platform in Riyadh earlier.
At its 2026 Partner Conference, Shacman officially launched the Deyu Q500 gas tractor, a flagship model tailored for long-haul logistics and energy-saving needs. Equipped with a Cummins 15L gas engine, the Deyu Q500 boasts industry-leading gas consumption and a lightweight design, being 200kg lighter than similar competitors—an advantage that significantly improves fuel efficiency and load capacity. The model is perfectly suited for the growing gas heavy truck market, as domestic LNG heavy truck sales surged 98% year-on-year in January 2026, with a penetration rate of 18%.
Shacman‘s market performance aligns with the 2026 heavy truck industry trends: the old truck replacement policy is driving rigid demand, with about 500,000 vehicles to be replaced this year, and gas heavy trucks are gaining popularity due to their cost advantages. Meanwhile, Shacman‘s overseas business maintains robust growth, with nearly 7,000 overseas orders in January, including over 3,000 units sold in Africa and hundreds of units ordered in Malaysia. Its 17 global KD plants ensure efficient delivery and localized after-sales support, laying a solid foundation for global expansion.
In addition to the new gas tractor and Saudi cooperation, Shacman continues to deepen its new energy layout, with 2025 new energy sales exceeding 12,000 units, ranking among the top five in the industry. The company’s multi-power product matrix, covering fuel, gas, hybrid and hydrogen models, fully meets diverse market demands. “Shacman‘s focus on localized cooperation and gas vehicle innovation reflects our insight into global market needs,” a Shacman executive said. “We will continue to launch scenario-adapted products to lead the industry’s high-quality development.”
