German engineering genes empower Sinotruk Shandeka's path to becoming a high-end heavy-duty truck.

I. Brand Foundation: A Benchmark for High-End Heavy Trucks Through Sino-German Collaboration SITRAK's birth stems from the deep cooperation between China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (CNHTC) and the German MAN Group. In 2009, the two parties signed a strategic agreement to integrate MAN's century-old heavy truck technology with China's commercial vehicle manufacturing experience, creating a high-end heavy truck brand for the global market. Leveraging MAN's D20/D26 engine technology, chassis manufacturing processes, and quality control system, SITRAK's first model, launched in 2013, broke the foreign monopoly in the domestic high-end heavy truck market. By 2025, the brand's cumulative sales exceeded 800,000 units, with high-end models accounting for over 75%. It consistently ranks among the top three in market share in domestic long-haul logistics and hazardous materials transportation, while exporting to over 110 countries and regions, becoming a core representative of China's heavy truck "high-end global expansion." II. Product Matrix: High-Efficiency Transportation Solutions Customized for All Scenarios Sinotruk, with "precise matching of scenarios" as its core, has built a full-category product system covering fuel, natural gas, and new energy vehicles. Each model has passed MAN's globally unified "three highs" verification standards: 1. Fuel and Natural Gas Heavy Trucks: Dual Benchmarks of Efficiency and Reliability Sinotruk G7H Natural Gas Tractor: Positioned as a benchmark for energy saving in long-haul logistics, it is equipped with Weichai's world's first commercially available natural gas engine with a thermal efficiency of 54.16%, a maximum output of 590 horsepower, and a torque of 2600 N·m. Relying on a dual-channel EGR system and crankshaft offset technology, its gas consumption per 100 kilometers is 3-5 kg ​​lower than similar models. The cab adopts a 2mm double-layer steel plate + three-layer local reinforcement structure, meeting the ECE R29 European collision standard. It is equipped with industry-first airbags and rear-collision shifting technology. In 2025, it won a batch order of 300 units from SF Express, becoming the sales champion in the natural gas heavy truck segment. Sinotruk C9H Long-haul Tractor: Designed for long-haul, high-efficiency logistics, it features a MAN technology MC13H engine (maximum 680 hp, 3200 N·m torque) paired with a ZF AMT transmission, forming a "golden powertrain." It boasts a B10 life of 1.8 million kilometers and a 150,000-kilometer extended oil change interval, reducing maintenance time by 60%. With a drag coefficient as low as 0.45Cd and an intelligent fuel-saving system, its fuel consumption is 2.2L/100km lower than similar models. It is expected to become the mainstay model for Debon Logistics' long-haul transportation in 2024. Sinotruk G5S Engineering Dump Truck: Focusing on heavy-duty scenarios in mining areas, it adopts a MAN technology-reinforced chassis (with a load capacity of up to 60 tons), and is equipped with an MC11 engine (characteristic of high torque at low speeds, with a maximum torque output of 2500 N·m at 1000-1400 rpm). The cargo box is made of wear-resistant high-strength steel with a thickness of 3.2 mm, extending its service life by 50% compared to ordinary cargo boxes. In early 2025, it secured an order for 200 units from the State Energy Group for mining operations. 2. New Energy Heavy Trucks: Leading the Zero-Carbon Transition with Multiple Technology Routes
Sinotruk is one of the brands with the most comprehensive new energy heavy truck technology layout in China, forming a dual-track breakthrough pattern of "pure electric and hydrogen fuel":
Sinotruk Hydrogen Fuel Cell Tractor: Independently developed hydrogen fuel system and integrated two-speed electric drive axle, equipped with four 275kW flat wire permanent magnet synchronous motors, with a total system power of 1100kW (1475 horsepower), a range of up to 1200km, hydrogen consumption as low as 8kg/100km, hydrogen refueling time of only 20 minutes, excellent low-temperature performance, suitable for cold chain and trunk logistics scenarios; after its global debut at the 2024 Hanover Motor Show, it won an order for 150 units from a European logistics group, becoming the first Chinese hydrogen-powered heavy truck to enter the Western European market in batches. Sinotruk electric tractor unit: Designed for short-distance transportation in ports and industrial parks, it is equipped with a CATL 600kWh CTB lithium iron phosphate battery, offering a range of up to 450km. It supports 1-hour fast charging (to 80%), and its three-motor system outputs 75,000 N·m of torque with a transmission efficiency exceeding 94.5%. 200 units will be delivered to Tianjin Port in 2025, with annual electricity costs per unit saving over 180,000 RMB compared to gasoline vehicles.
Sinotruk 423kWh pure electric dump truck: Designed for urban infrastructure projects, it uses a permanent magnet synchronous motor and a multi-mode energy recovery system. A 30-minute charge provides a range of 100km, resulting in a 35% reduction in annual operating costs. 120 units will be procured in bulk for infrastructure projects in Shenzhen in 2025. III. Core Technologies: A Fusion of German Quality and Intelligent Safety Sinotruk's technological competitiveness stems from the dual advantages of "MAN technology inheritance + independent innovation and upgrading": **Leading Powertrain Technology:** Gas-powered models are equipped with a Weichai engine boasting a 54.16% thermal efficiency, setting a new global record for commercial gas engines; gasoline-powered models utilize MAN technology MC series engines (maximum thermal efficiency 52.2%), coupled with an independently developed AMT transmission (transmission efficiency 99.7%), forming a "high-efficiency powertrain" with an industry-leading 150,000 km oil change interval. **Benchmark Safety Protection System:** All models come standard with a "steel-framed" cab, featuring 2mm double-layer steel plates and a collapsible energy-absorbing structure, achieving a torsional strength of 18500 N·m/°, and passing ECE R29 European crash certification; equipped with cab collision rearward shift and steering column collapse technology, combined with AEB automatic emergency braking (reducing rear-end collisions by 43%), LDW lane departure warning, and a 360° surround view system, increasing occupant survival rate by 65%. Advanced Intelligent Driving: High-end models come standard with an L2+ level intelligent driving system, including adaptive cruise control, lane centering, and blind spot monitoring. An optional "LiDAR + high-precision map" fusion solution is available, enabling "hands-free driving" on closed highways. The C9H Smart Edition, launched in 2024, has been operating regularly on more than 20 trunk logistics routes in China, accumulating over 80 million kilometers of safe driving. IV.
