1. Main Chassis Series & Axle Layout

1. L3000 4×2 (Light & Medium Short Haul)
   • Total GVW: 18 tons
   • Cargo box volume: 28–36 CBM, box length 6.8–7.5m
   • Ideal: Urban distribution, fresh fruit, dairy, small batch frozen goods
2. F3000 / X3000 6×4 (Long-Distance Mainstream)
   • Total GVW: 30 tons
   • Cargo box volume: 42–50 CBM, box length 8.6–9.6m
   • Ideal: Cross-border highway transport, bulk meat, seafood, vaccines
3. X5000 8×4 (Heavy-Duty Large Volume)
   • Total GVW: 45–50 tons
   • Cargo box volume: 50–58 CBM, largest payload capacity
   • Ideal: Large cold chain fleets, wholesale frozen food long haul

2. Powertrain Configuration (Africa-Optimized)

• Standard Engine: Weichai WP10 / WP12 / WP13 mechanical diesel engines
• Power range: 350 HP ~ 460 HP
• Emission option: Euro II / Euro III (most popular for Africa; no AdBlue required, runs well on low-quality local diesel)
• Transmission: Fast 10/12-speed manual gearbox; AMT automatic optional for premium fleets
• Axles: Hande heavy-duty axles with differential lock, strong for muddy, potholed African roads
• Suspension: Heavy-duty multi-leaf spring suspension (air suspension optional for fragile cargo, not recommended for remote rough areas)

3. Refrigerated Cargo Body & Cooling System

Cargo Box Structure

• Panel: Food-grade FRP inner & outer skin, thick polyurethane foam insulation (85–105mm thickness)
• Full bridge break thermal design, sealed rubber strips to minimize cold loss
• Stainless steel bottom plate, drainage holes, anti-slip floor for meat/seafood transport

Refrigeration Units

1. Famous imported brands: Thermo King, Carrier (stable temperature control from -25°C to +25°C, precision ±1°C)
2. Reliable domestic independent cold units: Lower cost, easy to source spare parts locally
    
   Unit type: Engine-driven independent refrigeration unit, works even when the truck main engine idles or stops temporarily.

4. Core Strengths for African Operators

1. Ultra-high durability chassis
    
   Shacman frames use high-strength Q345B steel, reinforced beam structure, resist overload and bumpy mountain/rural roads; far fewer frame cracks than light-duty brands.
2. Low running & repair cost
    
   Weichai engines have massive spare parts stock across all major African countries; local mechanics are fully familiar with maintenance procedures. Euro II/III mechanical motors avoid expensive DEF fluid and complicated electronic breakdowns.
3. Flexible temperature customization
    
   Can set for deep freezing (-22°C for frozen beef/fish), fresh keeping (0~5°C for fruits/vegetables) or constant temperature (2–8°C for medical vaccines).
4. High residual resale value
    
   Shacman reefer trucks hold market value well; second-hand units have stable demand in Africa, easy to resell after 2–3 years of project use.
5. Complete one-stop supply
    
   Formal suppliers provide chassis + refrigerated box + cold unit + full export documents together, no separate coordination of different factories.

5. Typical Application Scenarios

• Frozen goods: Frozen beef, mutton, seafood, ice cream
• Fresh produce: Tropical fruits, vegetables, flowers
• Medical supplies: Vaccines, temperature-sensitive medicines
• Dairy & beverage: Milk, yogurt, bottled drinks
• High-value temperature-controlled industrial materials
