Shacman Strengthens Supply Chain Synergy to Fuel Global New Energy Expansion

China’s heavy-truck industry is witnessing intense global competition, with a domestic peer claiming the global heavy-truck sales crown and targeting 250,000 export units by 2030. Against this backdrop, Shacman is accelerating its global expansion and green transition by deepening supply chain collaboration. At its December 23 2026 Supply Chain Partners Conference in Suzhou, Shacman announced 2025 projected sales of 195,000 units (+16.7% YoY), with new energy vehicle (NEV) sales surging 251.6% YoY to 22,000 units and natural gas truck sales hitting 34,000 units (+18.2% YoY).

Centered on the theme “Four Together for Empowerment, Green Transition and Win-Win Cooperation”, the conference highlighted Shacman’s “Four Together” philosophy—joint design, joint verification, joint research and joint development—with supply chain partners. Over 60% of the 39 key joint projects focused on new energy, new materials and low-carbon technologies, significantly enhancing industrial chain efficiency. Yuan Hongming, Chairman of Shacman Holding Group, emphasized building a new supply chain ecosystem to support global market expansion and technological upgrading.
Shacman plans to optimize its supplier layout and accelerate the upgrading of its supply system toward electrification, intelligence, connectivity and lightweighting. This strategic move will strengthen the competitiveness of its new energy product matrix, which has gained strong traction in global markets.

Shacman’s global footprint continues to expand with major new energy and customized vehicle deals:

• Southeast Asia Breakthrough: Shacman signed a $68 million agreement with Thailand’s Kasikorn Logistics to supply 520 Zenith series electric tractors over two years. Equipped with an 800V high-voltage platform, these models offer a 350km range and 12% lower energy consumption than industry averages. Two new service centers in Bangkok and Chiang Mai will support the fleet.
• Middle East Customization: 50 X3s heavy trucks with Fast IntelliDrive AMT transmission and hydraulic retarder were delivered to high-end Saudi clients. Tailored for high-temperature desert conditions, the “golden combination” of components ensures reliability in extreme environments.
• Central Asia NEV Deployment: 3,400 new energy heavy trucks were delivered to five Central Asian countries in Q1 2025, featuring lithium iron phosphate batteries with over 400km range and 8% lower transportation costs. The models are adapted to -30°C to 50°C climates with sand-proof nets reducing maintenance costs by 30%.

Shacman’s growth aligns with the industry’s dual trends of globalization and electrification. As global demand for green transportation rises, Chinese heavy-truck makers are competing fiercely by enhancing supply chain resilience and localizing services. Shacman’s Proton Motors hydrogen trucks have also gained international recognition, becoming the only Chinese brand certified under Japan’s commercial vehicle electrification program and securing 20 orders in Australia.
With its strengthened supply chain and expanding global presence, Shacman is well-positioned to capture growth opportunities in the competitive global heavy-truck market. “Our focus on supply chain synergy and green innovation will drive sustained success in both domestic and international markets,” a Shacman executive stated.
