Mr. William's Cross-Border Transport Journey-Crossing 6,000 Kilometers-shacman truck

In the vast southern regions of the African continent, veteran logistics driver Mr. William once again embarks on a long-haul transport journey—this time behind the wheel of a brand-new Shaanxi X3000 tractor.

With decades of cross-border transportation experience, William regularly transports container cargo from southern seaports on journeys exceeding 6,000 kilometers. His routes span four national borders, penetrating deep into Africa’s interior. Recently, his company invested in Chinese-made Shaanxi X3000 tractors, upgrading its aging European fleet to a new generation of trucks. William was among the first drivers to welcome his “new partner.”

From the moment he stepped into the X3000 cab, he was impressed by its thoughtful ergonomic design and intuitive human-machine interface. The semi-enclosed cockpit offered effortless controls and panoramic visibility, while the air-suspension seat with customizable settings delivered exceptional shock absorption and personalized support. For a driver accustomed to long-haul journeys, this significantly reduced fatigue.

His inaugural journey in the X3000 traversed diverse terrains. The initial leg primarily covered flat highways, testing the vehicle’s fuel efficiency under high-speed conditions. Thanks to eight proprietary fuel-saving technologies, an extensive range of economical engines, and axles specifically engineered for long-haul logistics, the X3000 demonstrated outstanding fuel economy throughout the highway cruising phase.

As William ventured deeper north into remote inland regions, road conditions deteriorated—muddy country lanes and narrow, unlit single-lane highways became the norm. Yet even amid weak infrastructure and high altitudes, the X3000’s high-torque powertrain and advanced safety systems delivered consistent performance and stability. William navigated every stretch with confidence and composure—day or night— —with complete peace of mind.

“Powerful, fuel-efficient, intuitive to drive, and exceptionally safe,” William summarized.

After multiple cross-border test drives, William praised the X3000 for exceeding expectations. Notably, its advanced safety and monitoring features effectively deterred rampant fuel theft—a persistent issue in cross-border long-haul transport.

The company has expanded its SHACMAN fleet to over 60 X3000 tractor units, with 15 locally manufactured and rapidly deployed. For William and countless other drivers across Africa, SHACMAN is more than just a vehicle—it’s a reliable partner driving the future of logistics.
