China’s heavy truck industry closed 2025 with robust growth, achieving 1.13 million annual sales (+26% YoY), while exports hit a record 330,000 units (+10% YoY) driven by strong demand from non-Russian markets.
The sector is poised for further expansion in 2026, fueled by extended government subsidies for pre-National IV truck replacement and rising new energy penetration, which is expected to reach 30-35%.
Seizing these opportunities, Shacman achieved a historic milestone as its Delong X6000 4X2 tractor obtained the EU Whole Vehicle Type Approval (WVTA), while launching two flagship models at its 2026 Business Conference, solidifying its position in global high-end and green transportation markets.
WVTA Certification: Golden Key to EU Market with First Orders Secured
The EU WVTA certification, a rigorous assessment covering over 40 regulatory tests including active safety, emissions, and intelligent driving, serves as the mandatory “golden key” for market access to 27 EU member states.
Shacman invested over 500 million yuan in EU-standard laboratories and assembled a team of more than 30 European experts, optimizing the X6000 for special conditions like the Alps’ long downhill sections. The model became the first Chinese commercial vehicle to pass the EU’s R131/02 regulations, meeting high-level requirements for Automatic Emergency Braking Systems (AEBS).
This breakthrough has translated into tangible results: Shacman has secured initial orders from Germany, France, and Italy, 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,” said a Shacman global sales executive.
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:
- X6000 Ultra Flagship: Available in diesel and gas variants, the model features three new metallic paint options and factory-approved personalized kits (roof lights, side skirts) that comply with industrial regulations. Equipped with a 720HP engine and ZF’s second-generation TraXon AMT transmission, its AI energy-saving system reduces gas consumption by 3% below the industry average. The 1.1-meter widened sleeper, built-in refrigerator, and 2000W inverter redefine driver comfort for long-haul trips.
- CIMC-Shacman Integrated 4.0 G6000E: Co-developed with CIMC for medium-to-long-haul logistics, this new energy model achieves in-depth integration of three-electric systems. With a 600kWh battery and dual-gun fast charging, it reaches 20%-80% charge in 30 minutes, with energy consumption as low as 1.1kWh/km. Its lightweight design reduces body weight by 200kg, enhancing operational efficiency.
Strong 2025 Performance & Supply Chain Synergy Lay Solid Foundation
Shacman’s 2025 performance laid a solid foundation for global expansion: total sales reached 195,000 units (+16.7% YoY), with new energy vehicle sales surging 251.6% YoY to 22,000 units and natural gas truck sales hitting 34,000 units (+18.2% YoY).
At its 2026 Supply Chain Partners Conference, Shacman emphasized its “Four Together” philosophy (joint design, verification, research, development), with over 60% of 39 key projects focusing on new energy and low-carbon technologies. The brand also launched the “RongE Xing” digital service platform, offering fast financing approval and real-time fleet monitoring to optimize user experience.
Backed by EU certification, new flagship models, and policy dividends, Shacman targets 100,000 domestic commercial vehicle sales in 2026, with 40% being new energy vehicles. “Our focus on global standard compliance and scenario-specific innovation positions us well to capture opportunities in both domestic and international markets,” a Shacman executive stated. “The X6000’s EU entry marks a new chapter in our globalization strategy.”
