SHACMAN ENTERS NEW ZEALAND

Shacman is a new name on the trucking scene in Aotearoa but, as a brand of Shaanxi Automobile Holding Group Co, the company’s history stretches back to

1968. The brand employs more than 32,000 personnel and is sold in more than 90 markets worldwide; including Africa, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Oceania, Central and South America, and the Eastern Europe CIS.

Shacman New Zealand is the sole distributor of Shacman trucks for the country. The Shacman range includes tractor units, readyto-work tippers, cement mixers and curtain-siders from 12 tonnes upwards. The headline model in the range is the new X3000 series (pictured above).

Underpinning Shacman trucks are some of the most trusted names in the industry. For example, the 12-tonne models come with Allision transmissions (with retarder), while larger units come with Cummins engines and Eaton automated manual transmissions.

A high standard of safety equipment is offered on New Zealand models. This includes lane guard alert, adaptive cruise control, driver monitor camera and tyre pressure sensors. Other features include VOSS connectors, ZF steering and single skin chassis.

All Shacman trucks are sold with a three-year/250,000km chassis and driveline warranty. The company offers a full after-sales and service solution through a network of 10 dealers and authorised workshops. Shacman Financial offers finance and insurance options.
