Shacman’s X6000 Secures EU WVTA Certification, Debuts Flagship Models to Lead Global Expansion

China’s heavy truck industry is poised for a transformative 2026, with leading players consensus on three core trends: accelerating new energy penetration, expanding export capacity, and replacing aging vehicles. Industry forecasts project domestic heavy truck sales to exceed 1.1 million units, with new energy penetration reaching 35%-40%.

Seizing this momentum, Shacman achieves a historic breakthrough as its Delong X6000 4X2 tractor becomes the first Chinese premium commercial vehicle to obtain the EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA). Coupled with two flagship models launched at its 2026 Business Conference and robust 2025 performance (195,000 total sales, +16.7% YoY), Shacman solidifies its position in global high-end and green transportation markets.

WVTA Certification: Key to EU Market Entry with First Orders Secured

The WVTA certification, a rigorous assessment covering over 40 regulatory tests in safety, emissions, and intelligent driving, serves as the \”golden key\” to the 27 EU member states. Shacman invested over 500 million yuan in laboratories and assembled a team of more than 30 European experts, optimizing the X6000 for special conditions like the Alps’ long downhill sections and Nordic extreme cold. The model features three core active safety modules—intelligent speed assistance, driver distraction warning, and fatigue monitoring—boosting active safety performance by over 40%.

This milestone has already translated into tangible results: the first orders from Germany, France, and Italy have been secured, with deliveries expected to exceed 500 units in 2026. \”WVTA certification marks Shacman’s official entry into the high-end European market, demonstrating our technological strength in meeting global top-tier standards,\” a Shacman global sales executive stated.

Flagship Models Unveiled at 2026 Business Conference

At its 2026 Business Conference themed \”Strengthen Reform, Adjust Structure, Seek New Patterns, Win 2026\”, Shacman launched two cutting-edge models to enhance competitiveness across traditional and new energy segments:

• X6000 Ultra Flagship: Available in gas and diesel variants, the model features an exclusive \”Distant Mountain Green\” color inspired by Chinese traditional painting. Powered by a self-developed 16L powertrain with 630HP and 2800N·m torque, its AI intelligent energy-saving system reduces gas consumption by 3% below the industry average, saving over $3,000 in annual fuel costs per vehicle. Equipped with an AI large-model smart cockpit and L2-level advanced driver assistance system, it cuts manual intervention by 60% for long-haul trips and lowers overall operating costs by 15%.
• G6000E New Energy Tractor: Co-developed with CIMC, this all-electric model for medium-to-long-haul logistics achieves full-stack independent control of three-electric systems. With a 600kWh battery and dual-gun 1000A charging system, it reaches 20%-80% charge in 30 minutes, with energy consumption as low as 1.1kWh/km in courier scenarios. Lightweight design reduces body weight by 200kg compared to competitors, enhancing efficiency and safety.

New Energy & Global Expansion: Dual Engines for Growth

Shacman’s new energy business maintained robust growth in 2025, with sales surging 260% YoY to 25,000 units. Its subsidiary Dechuang Future, a leader in hydrogen fuel cell technology, saw hydrogen truck orders grow 238% YoY in H1 2025, with products certified in Japan and exported to Australia. Looking to 2026, Shacman targets 100,000 domestic commercial vehicle sales (40% new energy) and aims to strengthen its global footprint, aligning with the industry trend of Chinese heavy truck exports accounting for 1/3 of the market.

The EU certification and new flagship models complement Shacman’s strategy to capture high-value segments. \”Our dual focus on global standard compliance and scenario-specific innovation positions us well to meet diverse market demands,\” a Shacman executive stated. \”The X6000’s EU entry and new energy flagships will drive sustained growth in both domestic and international markets.\”
