Shacman X5000 4x2 LNG Tractor Truck

The Shacman X5000 4×2 LNG Tractor Truck (SX4189XE1TLQ2) is a flagship high-end prime mover from Shacman’s Delong X5000 series, purpose-built for long-haul highway logistics, port operations, and regional distribution where a lightweight, single-drive-axle configuration paired with LNG fuel delivers a compelling balance of payload, range, and operating cost. As a 4×2 tractor with a 530-horsepower natural gas engine, it targets fleet operators seeking China VI compliance and reduced fuel expenditure without sacrificing the comfort and durability expected of a premium long-haul cab.

The powertrain centers on the Weichai WP15NG530E61, a 14.6-liter inline-six LNG engine rated at 530 horsepower (390 kW) and 2,500 N·m of peak torque delivered between 950 and 1,350 rpm. This low-rpm torque characteristic supports strong gradeability and cruising efficiency without excessive engine speed.

Power is routed through a FAST S16AD 16-speed AMT with an aluminum-alloy housing, reducing driver workload and enabling precise shift scheduling for fuel economy. The rear axle is a 13-ton-class drive axle with a fast ratio of 2.533 in the lightweight classic version, tuned for highway fuel efficiency. The classic version offers a 3.545 ratio for operators prioritizing gradeability or heavier trailing loads.

At the heart of the SX4259XD4TLQ1 is the Weichai WP13NG series LNG engine, a 12.54-liter inline-six that delivers 460 horsepower and 2,300 N·m of torque across a broad torque band (1,100–1,500 rpm). This power profile is well-suited to sustained highway cruising and grade climbing under load. The engine meets China VI (Euro 6 equivalent) emission standards, making it compliant with increasingly stringent environmental regulations.

Power is sent through a FAST 12-speed manual transmission (with AMT options available in related configurations), paired with Hande MAN-technology axles. The rear axle is typically an 11.5-ton single-stage reduction unit with a ratio of 3.7 (or 4.111 in some variants), balancing fuel efficiency with gradeability for typical long-haul duty cycles.

Standard safety content includes ABS, and the model is offered with Forward Collision Warning (FCW) as a factory configuration. The homologation record confirms the availability of EBS and a satellite-positioning driving recorder, and the vehicle can be specified with a speed-limiting device set to 89 km/h for fleet governance.

Fuel System and Range

The SX4189XE1TLQ2 carries twin frame-mounted LNG tanks totaling 2,700 liters (1,350 L × 2) , a substantial capacity that supports extended refueling intervals on long-haul routes where LNG station density may be limited. This large gas inventory is a defining operational advantage of the 4×2 LNG specification.
