In 2005, the heavy truck market was going through a period of adjustment, and as a result, the outlook for 2006 remained largely similar to the previous year, with only a slight recovery expected. However, the competition in the heavy truck industry intensified in 2006 due to overcapacity among various manufacturers.
In January 2006, the total sales of heavy trucks across the industry reached 11,681 units, a significant drop of 47.9% compared to 18,797 units sold in the same period in 2005. This data clearly shows that the sector remained sluggish. According to industry reports, major players such as Dongfeng, FAW (Liberation), and Auman all saw declines of over 50% compared to the previous year. In contrast, companies using the Steyr platform—Jinan Heavy Duty Truck, Chongqing Hongyan, and Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck—performed better, with Jinan and Chongqing showing a slight increase. Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck, however, stood out, reporting a remarkable 49.9% growth in sales compared to the same period last year.
February brought a gradual recovery, with most companies experiencing an improvement from January's low. Domestic sales figures showed promising signs: Jinan and CNOOC were expected to reach 2,500 units, Chongqing Hongyan over 700, Futian Auman around 1,800, and Shaanxi Zhongqi Automobile achieved a record high of 4,300 contract orders, showcasing its strong market position.
Despite being traditionally an off-season for heavy truck sales, Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck made a surprising and successful start in early 2006. The company not only broke through the market stagnation but also set new records, impressing industry observers. Brands like "Shaanxi Auto Speed" and "Shaanxi Auto Marvel" became symbols of the company’s growing influence.
Over the past 40 years, Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck has focused on professional development and production of heavy vehicles, achieving remarkable success in the domestic civilian vehicle market. Its sales volume tripled in just four years, and it now holds more than 15% of the heavy truck market share, ranking first nationally. It is also recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in China’s automotive industry over the past 50 years.
The company has built one of the strongest supply chains in the heavy truck industry, partnering with leading global suppliers such as Euroman, Cummins, Weichai Power, Hunan Torch, Fast Transmission, and Hande Axle.
In November 2005, Shaanxi Zhongqi Automobile and Weichai Power signed a comprehensive strategic cooperation agreement, aiming to provide customers with advanced heavy truck products featuring the latest international technology. Weichai Power planned to develop new engine series for Shaanxi Zhongqi in 2006, with the Steyr engine fully supporting Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck’s growth.
The launch of the fuel-efficient, high-performance heavy truck series by Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck marked its leadership in the fuel-efficient truck segment. The newly introduced "Shun Chi" series and the jointly developed "Knight" series incorporated numerous technological innovations and optimizations, offering high efficiency and fuel economy, giving them a strong competitive edge in the market.
On December 28, 2005, a modern commercial vehicle industrial park with an investment of 1.98 billion yuan officially opened, marking a new milestone for Shaanxi Heavy Duty Truck.
