The X5000ᵉ on display at the launch venue in Vientiane
Recently, the SHACMAN X5000ᵉ pure-electric truck made its official debut in Vientiane, Laos. Over 160 guests from government authorities, industry bodies, financial institutions, and key customers witnessed the launch. The moment marks not only a pivotal step for the SHACMAN new-energy lineup in Southeast Asia, but also a new phase of regional green-mobility cooperation.
The regional market is now advancing transport electrification with unprecedented momentum, targeting 30% EV penetration by 2030. Amid high fuel costs, abundant power, and mounting carbon pressure, new-energy heavy trucks have become the key lever for cutting costs across mining, building materials, and cross-border logistics and the X5000ᵉ arrives right on cue.
Government and Industry Together: Launch Unveiling and Live Demonstration
X5000ᵉ Unveiling Ceremony
At the launch, the Vice Minister of Industry and Commerce delivered government remarks, affirming SHACMAN’s value as a flagship heavy-truck brand under China-Laos production-capacity cooperation, and pledged continued support for after-sales localization and charging/swapping infrastructure.
As the red curtain lifted, the X5000ᵉ appeared publicly in the regional market for the first time. The Vice Minister took the wheel for a test drive and gave positive feedback on the wide flat-floor cab and the intelligent instrument-cluster interaction.
Core Product: X5000ᵉ Built for Regional Conditions
Powered by the Jizhi E-drive technology, the X5000ᵉ delivers peak power of 580 kW and peak torque of 3,000 N·m, paired with a 400-600 kWh swappable battery. It supports dual-gun fast charging and battery swap, enabling multiple daily runs when fully loaded on short- and medium-haul routes such as aggregates, cement, and port drayage. Energy consumption is cut by about 15% versus comparable competitors, while the reliability of the battery, motor, and electronic control-the “three electrics”-is improved by 30%. The wide flat-floor cab (approx. 1.98 m interior height) markedly eases long-haul fatigue, well suited to local hot, mountainous, and road-complex operating environments.
Finance + Insurance: Affordable to Buy, Reliable to Run
Integrated Service Solution Partnership Signing
To address the pain point of “costly EVs and large upfront investment,” SHACMAN joined local commercial banks and insurers to launch an integrated “purchase + finance + insurance + maintenance” package. Covering low-down-payment installment plans, battery risk assessment, extended three-year electric warranty, and rapid loaner vehicles after a claim, it turns the procurement decision into whole-lifecycle TCO optimization-helping small and mid-sized fleet operators “buy affordably, run reliably, and resell with value.”
In the future, SHACMAN will team up with local partners to build a dedicated spare parts warehouse, service technician training, 24-hour roadside assistance, and a coordinated charging network-forming an “industrial park-mine-port” demonstration loop that drives the smooth shift of transport tools from the “diesel era” to the “green-power era.”
