Recently, SINOTRUK brought another good news: the export volume of heavy trucks exceeded 16,000 units in January. After first breaking the 15,000-unit mark last September, it only took 4 months to refresh the industry record maintained by itself again, setting a new historical high and strongly starting the New Year with a “good start”.

True Strength Forges a “Good Start”

In the just-concluded 2025, SINOTRUK handed over an inspiring report card: the annual total vehicle sales exceeded 440,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 22.5%, of which heavy truck sales reached 300,000 units. It has remained the first in China’s heavy truck industry for four consecutive years and won the global heavy truck sales championship in one fell swoop. This historic breakthrough is not only the market’s high recognition of SINOTRUK’s products and services, but also the pride of the entire Chinese automobile industry, fully demonstrating the absolute strength of Chinese intelligent manufacturing and Chinese brands on the global stage.

In terms of exports, SINOTRUK has continuously “surpassed itself”: the annual export of heavy trucks exceeded 150,000 units, a year-on-year increase of more than 14%, winning the championship of China’s heavy truck exports for 21 consecutive years; the monthly export sales of heavy trucks have exceeded 15,000 units for 3 consecutive months. In January this year, it continued its high growth trend with sales exceeding 16,000 units, refreshing the industry record again in just four months.

The performance in the domestic market is also impressive. It not only won the first place in the industry in ten major segmented fields, but also achieved a substantial jump in the market share of new energy and high-end intelligent driving products. Both domestic and foreign markets are advancing hand in hand, with booming production and sales. According to statistics, Jinan Truck Manufacturing Company alone received more than 28,600 orders in January. The excellent market performance has also won high recognition from the capital. In January this year, SINOTRUK’s Hong Kong stock price hit a record high, and its market value successfully exceeded the 100 billion mark. A series of outstanding achievements have helped SINOTRUK achieve a “good start” in the New Year and injected strong momentum into the company’s high-quality development throughout the year.

“Popular” and “Praiseworthy”

Behind the global top sales and production volume is SINOTRUK’s ultimate pursuit and adherence to product quality. SINOTRUK has a leading domestic and world-class production and manufacturing base, forming a large-scale and efficient production pattern. In 2025, the production capacity of SINOTRUK Laiwu Factory alone exceeded 110,000 units.

To deeply integrate into the global market and accurately meet the needs of various regions, SINOTRUK also actively promotes the localization strategic layout, building 37 KD assembly plants in 27 countries around the world, and creating a localized solution integrating sales, after-sales service and financial support. Through resource pre-positioning and large-scale production, it has significantly improved market penetration and service response efficiency. At the end of last year, the Algeria KD plant was officially put into production, quickly becoming an important fulcrum for exploring the African market, with exports increasing by 656% year-on-year in January; the Tanzania KD plant has achieved full-load and efficient operation, with exports increasing by 55% year-on-year in January.

While strictly adhering to the quality lifeline, SINOTRUK insists on putting customer needs first and continuously deepens the construction of the service system. It has laid out more than 700 service outlets and spare parts centers in overseas markets alone, building an efficient service matrix with wide coverage and strong guarantee. With its improved service system, SINOTRUK has established significant competitive advantages and a solid customer base in many regional markets around the world. In the future, SINOTRUK will continue to expand the number of distribution channels and regularly carry out standardized training on marketing, services, spare parts, etc., so that global customers can enjoy the best experience of reliable products, high cost performance and rapid response.

New Journey, New Blueprint

At the 2025 Global Partners Conference, SINOTRUK firmly proposed that it will continue to deepen the full-category overseas and global layout strategies, promote the breakthrough and upgrading of the full-series products, the win-win upgrading of the full life cycle, and the all-round upgrading of the marketing system, improve the global market competitiveness through all-round changes, and strive to achieve the 2030 strategic goal.

The export breakthrough of 16,000 units is not only a continuation of past achievements, but also a starting point for a new journey. In the strategic window period of global commercial vehicle demand release, SINOTRUK will seize opportunities, accelerate breakthroughs, continuously upgrade products, technologies, cost performance and service networks, and constantly create new strategic growth poles. With the wisdom of “recognizing changes” to insight into the development trend, and the courage of “seeking changes” to be at the forefront of the industry, on the basis of the dual-brand strategy of SITRAK and HOWO, it will further expand businesses such as light trucks and pickup trucks, establish a full-series commercial vehicle product matrix, and comprehensively promote the localized layout of the production system, management system and talent team, laying a solid road for global development with a posture more in line with the global market.

Today, SINOTRUK’s products are distributed in more than 150 countries and regions on six continents, and more than one million SINOTRUK heavy trucks are galloping around the world. As a “pacesetter” in China’s high-end equipment manufacturing, SINOTRUK will firmly shoulder the mission of “empowering better equipment with technology”, unswervingly promote the six strategic transformations of “greenization, digital intelligence, servitization, internationalization, diversification and high-endization”, become a leader in the global commercial vehicle industry, and write a new magnificent chapter in China’s national automobile industry.
