Comment on Chinese Truck Advantage and Disadvantage (from an Experienced Driver)

Let’s take a deep analysis of Shacman truck performance in China market. Although some Shacman truck drivers pointed out that it has minor disadvantages, the key is proper daily maintenance. Drivers is better to carefully inspect truck every day to detect and repair potential problems in a timely manner to ensure high attendance. For experienced truck drivers, this is the main reason why they choose Shacman. Small problems will not become a stumbling block to their work.

In contrast, SINOTRUK Howo's engine problems have become a pain point, and the tightening of after-sales service has discouraged some potential clients. Although the configuration of Auman heavy trucks is not satisfactory, its power and attendance rate is highly appreciated by the market. CIMC trucks appear relatively weak, without the support of core technology, and their market performance is just so so.

In terms of fuel economy, Shacman truck is obviously much better than all the other Chinese truck brands, while Auman's cab space is slightly compact. In terms of choice, if you are new to truck maintenance, Auman may be a safer choice, and its maintenance requirements may be lower. But if you are experienced in vehicle maintenance, then Shacman truck cost-effectiveness and stability is no doubt your first choice.

All in all, although each Chinese heavy-duty truck has its own characteristics, when making your decision, you need to balance the vehicle performance, maintenance needs, and economy to determine your best option.
