China’s premium heavy-truck exports (above 500HP) surged 35% year-on-year in 2025, driven by infrastructure upgrades across Central Asia where demand for European-standard vehicles tripled . Shacman, ranking first in market share in Kazakhstan and Algeria , capitalized on this trend with its flagship X6000 smart trucks, localized cold-region models, and a “industrial chain going global” strategy that includes 15 overseas factories .
X6000 Debuts as “European-Grade” Game Changer
In early December, Shacman delivered 50 units of its X6000 high-end smart trucks to Kazakhstan’s largest logistics firm, KTZ Logistics . The 580HP models, equipped with ZF automatic transmissions and adaptive cruise control, meet EU emission standards and completed 100,000km durability tests in the Altai Mountains. “This launch positions us alongside Scania and Volvo in Central Asia’s premium segment,” said Hui Xiang, Shacman’s overseas brand manager .
The X6000’s cabin noise level of 56dB and 1.2m-wide sleeper berth address long-haul drivers’ core pain points, with initial feedback showing 12% higher driver retention for KTZ’s fleet.
“One Country, One Truck” Wins Cold-Region Trust
Shacman’s localized innovation shines in Kazakhstan’s -40°C winters with its cold-region optimized tractors . Upgrades include independent cabin heaters, low-temperature battery packs, and reinforced chassis anti-icing coatings—modifications developed with input from Shacman’s Almaty-based sales representative, An Kai, who grew from a university translator to a key market bridge .
“We don’t just sell trucks; we solve local problems,” An Kai noted. These adaptations helped Shacman capture 42% of Kazakhstan’s heavy-truck market in 2025, with 200+ units delivered to copper mining projects in Balkhash.
Industrial Chain Synergy Boosts Global Competitiveness
Shacman’s exports drive a broader “Chinese supply chain” breakthrough: its partners Fast Gear and Hande Axle saw overseas sales grow 12% and 18% respectively , with Fast’s transmissions securing EU E-Mark certification. This synergy lowers Shacman’s overseas production costs by 18% via its KD plant in Tajikistan, which assembles 1,500 units annually for Central Asian markets .
The brand also launched its SHACMAN-X Service Centers in Almaty and Dushanbe, offering 24/7 parts delivery and remote diagnostics—critical for mining clients in remote regions. “These centers turn one-time buyers into lifelong partners,” a service director explained.
New Energy Expands with “Dijiang Ta” Series
Shacman’s Proton Motors subsidiary unveiled the Dijiang Ta hydrogen truck in December , featuring a 600km range and -30°C start capability. While targeting domestic markets initially, pre-orders from Uzbekistan’s state-owned energy firm signal emerging Central Asian demand for zero-emission mining vehicles.
With 2025 exports exceeding 42,000 units and presence in 160+ countries , Shacman aims to capture 25% of Central Asia’s premium heavy-truck market by 2026. “Our edge lies in combining global technology standards with hyper-localized solutions,” said a sales executive.
