Chinese King of the Road

The Chinese truckbrand Shacman seems to be the new King of the Road with an 800 Hp truck. The Shacman X6000 800 has 30 Hp more than the Scania 770 V8. Also the torque is higher with 3750 Nm thet is 50 Nm more than the Scania V8 770.

The Shacman is the strongest truck from series production in the world at the moment. The engine is a 16,6 liter Weichai WP17H800E68 Euro6 engine. The gearbox is made by Fast Gear, and it is an automatic 16 box. The truck on the picture is a 6×4 tractor unit.

The cab looks like a Mercedes Actros cab but it could also be inspired from that design. The truck is introduced for the Russian and Chinese markets but there are rumours that it is also going to be produced in Argentina for Latin America. A factory in La Rioja is being built for that.
