KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 (Bernama) -- SHACMAN, a Chinese maker of heavy-duty trucks, commercial vehicles and automotive components, outlined plans to expand overseas and strengthen its new energy business at its Worldwide Partnership Conference & GlobeFest in Xi’an on Oct 15.
In his keynote address, Shaanxi Automobile Holding Group Chairman, Liu Yi said SHACMAN’s international vehicle sales grew significantly year-on-year in the first three quarters of 2026, with international business accounting for a steadily increasing share of its overall business.
As competition in the global commercial vehicle industry shifts, SHACMAN outlined three priorities, namely internationalisation as a driver of growth, leadership in new energy and deeper localisation. It also announced its 2030 targets for international markets.
Shaanxi Heavy Duty Automobile Import & Export Co Ltd General Manager, Tian Chao outlined five business strategies covering products, markets, financing, services and distribution channels.
The company also launched SHACMAN PowerCore, a powertrain brand developed with Weichai Power, Cummins, FAST and HanDe Axle covering diesel, natural gas, battery-electric, hybrid and hydrogen technologies.
In a statement, the company said it unveiled “transporte”, a full life-cycle solution for new energy transport covering vehicles, energy supply and operating services, and displayed a range of hybrid and battery-electric models.
Its European-market X6000 and X6000e trucks received EU Whole Vehicle Type-Approval, with TÜV Rheinland presenting the certification plaques at the event, while SHACMAN signed a regional service alliance agreement for Africa and delivered a major export order to the continent.
The event, themed “Next Move, Next Horizon”, drew more than 1,800 dealers, customers, industry partners and media representatives from nearly 100 countries and regions.
To date, SHACMAN has exported more than 450,000 vehicles to more than 160 countries and regions.
