On February 25, 2025, the launch event for Shaanxi Auto’s new Pearl series of trucks, themed “Two Heroes Rise, Dragons Shine Across the Land,” successfully concluded in Handan, Hebei. Leaders and guests from Shaanxi Heavy Duty Automobile and Xi’an Cummins, along with regional dealers, major clients, and other partners, witnessed the debut of the upgraded Shaanxi Auto Pearl Dragon, Dragon M, and Dragon H series of fuel-powered trucks, all equipped with Cummins B6.2FE and B7 engines.
Deepening Market Focus and Leading with Value Innovation
Driven by the demands of e-commerce logistics and green channel transportation, fuel-powered trucks are gradually evolving towards specialized scenarios, efficient power, and intelligent services. Amid increasing industry pressure to reduce costs and enhance efficiency, these trucks must not only meet the precise needs of specific scenarios but also continuously lower costs through technological upgrades.
To address the upgrading needs of the truck market, the Shaanxi Auto Pearl Dragon, Dragon M, and Dragon H series have further enhanced their performance in power, load capacity, economy, and reliability for 6.8-meter green channel models and large single-axle express models, boosting their competitiveness in complex working conditions. The decision to launch the first event in Handan was based on its strategic location at the intersection of Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong, and Henan provinces, making it a natural testing ground for the Pearl Dragon, Dragon M, and Dragon H series due to its logistics hub demand across North, Central, and East China.
Dual Powerhouses Strengthen Leading Position
During the event, product managers provided detailed explanations, showcasing the core values, highlights, and market advantages of the Pearl Dragon, Dragon M, and Dragon H series. These models are primarily targeted at the mid-to-high-end segments of express delivery, green channel, and cold chain transportation, equipped with Cummins’ dual powerhouses—the B6.2FE and B7 engines. Combined with manual/automatic transmissions and Hande maintenance-free rear axles, they form a mature and excellent power chain, creating a new product matrix with multiple horsepower options at the industry’s forefront.
The three major upgrades of the Cummins B6.2FE and B7 engines are enhanced power, better economy, and lighter weight. The B6.2FE covers a horsepower range of 210–290 PS, with a peak torque of 1150 N·m, while the B7 ranges from 240–350 PS, with a peak torque of 1400 N·m. Their transient response and climbing ability are 30% better than comparable products, with no torque limitation at 3000 meters altitude, ensuring more robust power, smoother climbing, and stronger adaptability to various working conditions.

The Shaanxi Auto Pearl Dragon H × B6.2FE/B7 fuel-powered truck adopts a flat floor design, with a cabin space of 1925 mm and a lower bunk width of 750 mm, enhancing rest comfort. The efficient powertrain, front-mounted intake, and low-drag cab, along with a spoiler matched with mainstream cargo boxes, effectively reduce drag and achieve higher fuel economy.
This event not only showcased the new products but also served as a testament to the close cooperation and joint development between Shaanxi Auto and Xi’an Cummins. An exciting vehicle handover ceremony marked the successful delivery of the first batch of Pearl Dragon, Dragon M, and Dragon H series trucks in the Handan region. Local major clients also signed contracts on-site, demonstrating market recognition and support for the technical strength of the new truck series.
Strong Collaboration, Shaping the Future
The launch event in Handan not only introduced groundbreaking new products to the truck market but also highlighted the collaborative efforts of Xi’an Cummins and Shaanxi Auto in building a differentiated moat in the competitive fuel vehicle market. Moving forward, the two companies will offer users more vehicle options and higher operational value, injecting continuous momentum into the trucking industry.
