The newly upgraded Shacman Smart Cloud S300 Express may become a new market favorite.

As one of the earliest brands to enter the domestic new energy light truck market, Shaanxi Automobile Commercial Vehicle’s previous Xunde E9 series models achieved excellent results. So, what kind of performance will the Zhiyun S300 new energy light truck, hailed as a “leader in new energy trucks,” deliver?

● Maximum 120 kW motor power, matched with an integrated flat wire drive motor

At this cooperation conference, Shacman Zhiyun S300 New Energy Light Truck showcased a range of products, including chassis, a 4.08-meter refrigerated truck, and 4.2-meter vans, 4.18-meter stake trucks, and sidecar trucks. Of course, for new energy vehicles, truck drivers are most concerned about the three-electric system (battery, motor, and electronic control system).

Let’s first look at the battery. The vehicle in the photos uses a lithium iron phosphate battery pack from CATL, an industry leader, with capacities of 100.46 kWh and 86 kWh. The battery pack is an integrated design with a centrally located layout. This reduces the chassis weight and saves space on the sides of the frame, making it easier for truck drivers to add equipment.

The drive axle of the Shacman Zhiyun S300 new energy light truck is a high-efficiency integrated flat wire drive motor axle from Hande, which adopts an integrated flat wire design. It is understood that the biggest advantage of flat wire motors lies in their wiring method and wire shape and size, resulting in lighter weight and higher transmission efficiency.

With the above configurations, coupled with a low-drag design, liquid gold tires, customized vehicle control strategies for different operating conditions, and intelligent energy management technology, the vehicle achieves lower energy consumption, longer range, and energy efficiency that is more than 10% better than the industry average.

In terms of chassis layout, the Shacman Zhiyun S300 new energy light truck uses a Hande 2.2-ton maintenance-free front axle, with optional leaf spring suspension configurations such as 3/3+2, 3/5+2, 3/32, and 3/5+2. It also offers both hydraulic and pneumatic braking to meet more diverse and complex transportation scenarios.

Furthermore, the Shacman Zhiyun S300 new energy light truck boasts ultra-low maintenance costs, including an 8-year or 400,000-kilometer extended warranty and an oil change interval of up to 5 years or 500,000 kilometers. Furthermore, key assemblies require no maintenance and have extended service life. The steering gear, steering rods, and front and rear axle wheel ends are maintenance-free for their entire lifespan. Overall, this can save at least 15,000 yuan in maintenance costs over the vehicle’s entire lifespan, significantly reducing the maintenance costs for truck drivers.

Regarding driving safety, the Shacman Zhiyun S300 new energy light truck also provides comprehensive operational support, equipped with an electronic parking brake system, electronic stability system, and electronic braking system. Key components also boast the industry’s highest protection rating of IP68, effectively preventing water and dust ingress and enabling the vehicle to handle various road conditions. In addition, the vehicle offers features such as anti-slip slope, anti-accidental stepping, crawl control, and parking safety, further enhancing driving safety.

Finally, regarding the cab configuration, the Shacman Zhiyun S300 new energy light truck adopts a brand-new cab cabin structure with a longitudinal width of 2.02 meters. It also offers a generous configuration, including an optional air-suspension seat with fluid-filled suspension, a multi-function steering wheel with cruise control, a 10-hour high-definition central control screen, and a reversing camera.

It also features automatic climate control, heated side mirrors, electronic parking brake, electronic power steering, and front fog lights with cornering lights. Furthermore, the vehicle has been upgraded with a vehicle networking platform, supporting remote vehicle control, vehicle status monitoring, vehicle management, and over-the-air (OTA) updates, enabling comprehensive intelligent vehicle use.

● Conclusion

In summary, Shaanxi Automobile Commercial Vehicle’s Shacman Zhiyun S300 New Energy Light Truck demonstrates satisfactory performance in multiple aspects, including excellent performance, comfortable features, full life-cycle maintenance, and outstanding driving safety. It not only meets customer needs but also sets a new benchmark for the Chinese new energy light truck market. We look forward to further optimization and upgrades of the Shacman Zhiyun S300 New Energy Light Truck in the future, bringing more green innovation and efficient solutions to the commercial vehicle industry.
