China’s heavy truck industry is accelerating its low-carbon transition, with hydrogen fuel cell and LNG models emerging as key drivers amid national “dual carbon” goals . The port transportation sector, a major carbon emitter, is leading the shift—port hydrogen heavy truck sales surged 150% year-on-year in 2023, with penetration expected to reach 1-2% at super ports by 2025 . Shacman, a pioneer in green commercial vehicles, is capitalizing on this trend through its Proton Motors’ new DiJiang Ta hydrogen series, high-powered LNG models, and port-specific decarbonization solutions, reinforcing its market position as 2025 total sales are projected to hit 195,000 units (+16.7% YoY) .
Proton Motors’ DiJiang Ta Hydrogen Trucks Launch for Diversified Scenarios
Shacman’s subsidiary Proton Motors officially launched the DiJiang Ta (Tantalum) series, a fully self-developed wide-range hydrogen fuel cell product line, at its new energy smart factory in January 2025 . Covering 15 new energy-focused segments, the series offers both pure electric and hydrogen fuel cell options to meet 300km-800km transportation needs .
Key highlights include a 400kWh electric tractor with a curb weight as low as 10 tons, which can be further reduced by 350kg with a lightweight electric drive axle . Its magnesium alloy trailer cuts weight by 800kg to 1.1 tons, helping users increase annual income by $5,800-$11,600 . ”We developed the DiJiang Ta series based on over 100 user needs and 55 improvement points, focusing on best asset returns,” said Chao Pengxiang, Deputy General Manager of Proton Motors .
X6000 720HP LNG Truck Leads Energy-Saving Revolution
Shacman’s X6000 flagship 16L 720HP LNG heavy truck, launched in May 2025, has become a game-changer in the green energy segment . Equipped with Weichai WP16NG gas engine delivering 3400N·m torque, it reduces gas consumption by 8-10% per 100km compared to competitors . The model integrates high thermal efficiency technology and intelligent shifting systems, boosting transportation efficiency by over 15% in plateau and long-slope conditions in southwest China .
Backed by national policies including purchase subsidies and road priority rights, Shacman’s LNG truck sales reached 13,000 units in Jan-Apr 2025, driving its 13.5% domestic market share . The X6000 LNG model, paired with Fast’s latest IntelliDrive AMT gearbox (99.8% transmission efficiency) and Hande HDZ440 axle (B10 life over 1.8 million km), forms a “golden powertrain” for enhanced reliability .
Port Hydrogen Pilot Advances Decarbonization Goals
Aligning with China’s five-year port hydrogen heavy truck pilot program, Shacman is actively deploying its hydrogen fleet in key hub ports . The program targets 2,000 hydrogen heavy trucks in pilot ports by 2030, replacing 60,000 tons of diesel annually and reducing CO2 emissions by 160,000 tons . Shacman’s hydrogen models, with 15-20 minute refueling time and over 500km full-load range, are well-suited for frequent start-stop and heavy-load port operations .
The brand’s in the “green hydrogen production-hydrogen refueling-operation-carbon trading” ecosystem helps lower the total cost of ownership (TCO) to match traditional diesel trucks . “Our dual focus on hydrogen and LNG technologies addresses the core needs of port decarbonization,” a Shacman executive stated. “We aim to lead the industry’s shift from demonstration to large-scale commercialization.”
