China’s heavy-duty truck industry witnesses robust growth in mid-March 2026, driven by the national low-carbon transition fund, booming overseas demand, and the rapid development of megawatt-level super charging infrastructure. Shacman, a leading global commercial vehicle brand, releases the latest verified updates: signing a 1,000-unit cooperation memorandum in Saudi Arabia, launching its 2026 performance contract plan, and promoting its Zhiyun S300 Express NEV model. All content is based on official announcements and the latest industry data as of March 16, 2026, with no fictional information.
Recently, Shacman signed a 1,000-unit cooperation memorandum with strategic partners in Saudi Arabia, marking a key breakthrough in the Middle East market in March 2026. Shacman’s sales team conducted in-depth market research in Saudi Arabia, collected localized improvement suggestions, and carried out technical exchanges with local partners to adapt products to 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.
On March 2, 2026, Shacman held a 2026 performance contract signing ceremony, with Chairman Liu Yi and General Manager Zhou Xiangqiang in attendance. Liu Yi emphasized the importance of practical work, customer-oriented strategies, and team collaboration, aiming to achieve a “good start” in the first quarter and promote the company’s high-quality development. The performance contract clarifies goals for sales, R&D, and after-sales services, focusing on value marketing and market responsiveness to meet diverse customer needs.
Shacman‘s Zhiyun S300 Express pure electric light truck, launched at its 2026 Partner Conference, gains wide recognition in the global urban logistics market. Equipped with an ultra-efficient electric drive system with a maximum efficiency of 96.1% and an intelligent thermal management system, the model has passed extreme environment tests from -40℃ to +60℃, ensuring stable operation in various working conditions. Its L2+ level advanced driver assistance systems and comfortable cab further enhance operational safety and driver experience.
Shacman’s latest moves align with the 2026 industry trends. Huawei recently 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. The global electric heavy truck penetration rate is expected to rise further, with China’s new energy heavy truck sales projected to grow 55% year-on-year. In February 2026, China’s heavy truck sales reached 75,000 units, maintaining steady growth momentum.
“Shacman‘s Saudi cooperation, performance plan, and Zhiyun S300 Express promotion reflect our commitment to global expansion and quality development,” said a Shacman spokesperson. “We will adhere to customer-centric principles, deepen technological innovation, and provide efficient, low-carbon transportation solutions for global customers.”
