Shacman Truck Head

This Shacman 6×4 tractor head delivers 371 hp from a WEICHAI WD615.47 water-cooled turbocharged diesel with WEVB engine braking - boosting braking efficiency by over 55% for safer downgrade control. A FAST 12-speed transmission, ZF8118 power steering, and HF9 / HC16 axles handle up to 40-ton GCW. Available in 371 hp, 375 hp, and 420 hp ratings, with a 400L fuel tank.

WEVB Engine Brake - 55% Stronger Retardation

Shacman's unique WEVB exhaust-valve braking system adds over 55% more braking force compared to standard engine brakes. On long mountain descents with a loaded semi-trailer behind you, that means fewer service-brake applications, cooler drums, and a wider safety margin when it matters most.

Three Power Ratings, One Platform

Choose 371 hp for regional distribution, 375 hp for mixed-duty fleet work, or 420 hp for heavy long-haul routes with steep grades. All variants share the same WEICHAI WD615 block - tested with AVL and BOSCH collaboration - and the robust FAST 12-speed twin-shaft transmission with helical-gear auxiliary box.

Trailer Combinations

Pair the Shacman tractor head with a dump semi-trailer, fuel tanker, powder bulker, or dry-van trailer - it's certified for mine roads, construction sites, and long-distance highway logistics alike. The 6×4 layout provides enough driven-axle traction for unpaved job sites while cruising at 102 km/h on pavement.

Heavy Loads, Fast Turnaround

With a 40-ton GCW rating and 400L onboard fuel, the Shacman head pulls maximum legal payloads over regional routes without constant refueling stops. It's built for operators who prioritize fleet utilization - get to the site, drop the loaded trailer, hook an empty one, and roll again.

WEICHAI + BOSCH Powertrain

High-output WEICHAI engines developed jointly with AVL and BOSCH form a golden power chain - strong low-end torque, Euro II emissions compliance, and straightforward mechanical injection with field-serviceable parts availability worldwide. Cummins engine alternative available.

FAST 12-Speed Twin-Shaft Gearbox

Unique twin-shaft main box with a fine-pitch helical-gear auxiliary section - quieter cruising, smoother range shifts, and less driveline shock when dropping a gear on grades compared to single-countershaft designs.

MAN 7.5T Front + 13T Rear Axles

Front axle rated at 7.5 tons with MAN-derived geometry; rear uses a maintenance-free 13-ton single-reduction axle with a 2.714 ratio - tall gearing for highway fuel economy without sacrificing gradeability when loaded to 40 tons.

Premium Controls: ZF + Eaton + WABCO

Imported ZF8118 steering box for precise, low-effort directional control. Eaton diaphragm clutch with consistent engagement feel. WABCO pedal mechanism. These aren't commodity parts - they're the same suppliers that outfit European trucks at twice the price.

Ro-Ro, Bulk, or Container

Three shipping modes available: drive-on/drive-off vessel for fastest port turnaround, bulk carrier for fleet shipments, or containerized for maximum protection. We recommend the safest, most economical method based on your order quantity and destination port infrastructure.

Anti-Corrosion & Securing

Tractor heads receive full wax coating on all exposed chassis surfaces before sea transit. The unit is then fixed with steel tie-downs at multiple anchor points to prevent movement in heavy seas - your truck arrives paint-intact and ready to couple to a trailer.
