As SHACMAN’s “Towards the Horizon – Saudi Extreme Test” gains momentum, the X3000 tractor has become a hot topic among Saudi logistics professionals. We’ve gathered real questions from local fleet owners and drivers, with insights from those already operating the X3000 in Saudi Arabia’s harsh conditions.
Q1: How does the X3000 handle Saudi Arabia’s extreme heat (up to 50°C)?
A (Fleet Manager, Riyadh): “We were skeptical at first—our previous trucks often overheated during summer. The X3000’s cooling system is a game-changer. Its large radiator and intelligent thermal management keep the engine stable even when hauling 40-ton loads through the desert at noon. We’ve logged 10,000+ km in 45°C+ weather with zero breakdowns.”
Q2: Is fuel efficiency competitive with European brands?
A (Logistics Director, Jeddah): “Absolutely. Our X3000 tractors average 3.2 km per liter on long-haul routes between Jeddah and Riyadh, beating our old European trucks by 0.5 km/l. With diesel prices here, that saves us ~SAR 1,200 per truck monthly. The 1,000L fuel tank also means fewer stops—critical for tight delivery schedules.”
Q3: How reliable is the X3000 in dusty desert conditions?
A (Driver, Dammam): “Sand gets everywhere, but the X3000’s air filtration system works wonders. We check the filters weekly, and they’re far less clogged than on our other trucks. The sealed electrical components have survived sandstorms that grounded our fleet last year. I trust it to get through the Rub’ al Khali without issues.”
Q4: What about after-sales support in Saudi Arabia?
A (SHACMAN Saudi Representative): “We’ve partnered with LH Group to build 5 service centers across Riyadh, Jeddah, and Dammam. Parts like filters and brake pads are stocked locally, with 24-hour response for breakdowns. Our technicians are trained in China to handle X3000-specific maintenance—downtime is kept under 48 hours for most issues.”
Q5: Can it handle heavy loads on steep terrain?
A (Fleet Owner, Mecca): “We use X3000s to transport construction materials to mountainous areas near Taif. The 550HP engine and 16-speed transmission make climbing 8% gradients feel easy, even with full loads. The braking system is smooth too—no overheating on downhill stretches.”
From extreme heat to heavy loads, the X3000 is proving its mettle in Saudi Arabia’s toughest conditions. With local support and proven efficiency, it’s no wonder the first batch sold out in 30 days.
