Shaanxi Heavy Duty Automobile Import & Export Co Ltd (hereinafter referred to as SHACMAN International) is the wholly-owned international trading subsidiary of Shaanxi Automobile Holding Group, one of China’s leading heavy-duty truck manufacturers. Headquartered in Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, the company operates under the SHACMAN brand and has established itself as a dominant force in the global commercial vehicle export market.
Established in 2006, the company specializes in the export of complete vehicles, spare parts, and related technologies. Its parent company, Shaanxi Heavy Duty Automobile Co., Ltd., is a renowned large-scale commercial vehicle manufacturer in China and one of the nation’s first batch of vehicle and component export base enterprises.
SHACMAN International boasts an extensive global footprint, with products exported to over 140 countries and regions. The company’s international market vehicle ownership has surpassed 370,000 units.
In 2024, the company reported record-breaking export sales, with SHACMAN brand heavy trucks achieving approximately 61,000 units in overseas sales. This performance solidified its position as a market leader, accounting for over 20% of China’s total heavy truck exports—meaning one out of every five Chinese heavy
trucks exported globally comes from Shaanxi.
Recent data from the first half of 2025 shows continued momentum, with SHACMAN exporting 28,000 heavy trucks, a year-on-year growth of 25%.
The company has achieved remarkable penetration in key emerging markets:
| Region | Market Position |
| Central Asia | Over 40% market share among Chinese heavy truck brands; ranks #1 |
| Southeast Asia | 42% year-on-year sales growth (H1 2025)-2 |
| Middle East | Saudi Arabia +35%, UAE +28% growth (H1 2025)-2 |
| Africa | 29% year-on-year sales growth (H1 2025) |
According to a senior company executive, “90% or more of SHACMAN vehicles are sold to Belt and Road Initiative partner countries,” highlighting the company’s strategic alignment with global infrastructure development.
SHACMAN International has positioned itself at the forefront of commercial vehicle technology, with significant investments in R&D (accounting for 5% of annual revenue).
The company has aggressively expanded its new energy heavy truck portfolio, achieving 11.4% of total export volume from NEVs in H1 2025. Notable achievements include:
SHACMAN X5000E: L4-level autonomous new energy heavy truck, making its global debut at the 5th China-Mongolia Expo
Hydrogen Fuel Cell Trucks: In May 2025, SHACMAN became China’s first enterprise to mass-export developed-market-certified hydrogen trucks to Australia, with a 20-truck letter of intent targeting mining, port logistics, and intercity transport
Japan Certification: SHACMAN’s hydrogen model became the only foreign heavy-duty truck to earn Japan’s “Commercial Vehicle Electrification Promotion” certification
European Market Entry: The X5000E Euro VI-compliant model secured a 500-unit order in Turkey for intermodal logistics—marking the company’s first large-scale entry into the European commercial vehicle market
In 2024, the company expanded its “One Country, One Vehicle” product strategy from 448 to 692 models, tailoring vehicles to specific regional requirements. Examples include:
Desert-optimized X3000 for Middle Eastern climates
Tropical climate-adapted models for Southeast Asian infrastructure projects
Port logistics vehicles for international ports in Saudi Arabia, South Korea, Singapore, and the UK
SHACMAN International has built a comprehensive global sales and service network:
| Network Component | Count |
| Overseas subsidiaries | 3 |
| Overseas offices | 40 |
| First-tier dealers | 200+ |
| After-sales service points | 550+ |
| Parts distribution channels | 240+ |
| Countries with local assembly (KD) | 17 |
The company’s localization strategy—transitioning from “going global” to “going local”—has been a key success factor. KD (semi-knocked-down) assembly operations in countries including Kenya, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Kazakhstan, and Ethiopia have reduced delivery times by 30% and strengthened after-sales service responsiveness–2.
The first quarter of 2025 saw SHACMAN’s export orders surge by over 170% year-on-year, with actual sales volumes increasing by more than 150%–8. Key drivers included:
New fuel-efficient models achieving 12% improvement in fuel economy
Strong demand in Southeast Asian markets, with Thailand alone receiving over 500 orders
NEV exports gaining traction in European markets, including a 100-unit order from a German logistics company.
SHACMAN participated with a dual-booth layout, receiving 1,286 professional buyers from 89 countries. The company secured $45.2 million in intentional orders and signed agreements, representing a 38% year-on-year increase. NEVs accounted for 35% of total vehicle orders.
In January 2026, SHACMAN International signed a SAR 7.875 million (approximately US$2.1 million) contract with Saudi Arabia’s Al Muneef Trading, Industry, Agriculture and Contracting Company for fifty 2026 model H3000S semi-trailer truck heads.
In July 2025, the company partnered with China Post’s Shaanxi branch to establish a diversified international spare parts transportation network covering land (TIR-certified cross-border road transport), air, and sea freight. The partnership focuses on Central Asia, Russia, Africa, Europe (UK, France), UAE, South Korea, and Singapore.
The company has received multiple industry accolades, including:
“National Automobile Export Enterprise Credit Evaluation AAA-level Credit Enterprise”
“National Truck Export Contribution Award”
“China Quality and Integrity Enterprise”
“Foreign Trade Import and Export Advanced Enterprise”
SHACMAN International aims to reach 35,000 total exports for 2025 and continues to expand its new energy portfolio. The company plans to launch the SHACMAN L6000 hydrogen fuel cell heavy truck in the Middle East by the end of 2025, further strengthening its position in global green logistics.
