The Moroccan group Premium Group and the Chinese manufacturer Shacman have launched production of the first truck entirely assembled in Morocco, called “X6000”, according to information obtained by Barlamane.com, Tuesday January 14. This model, whose localization rate reaches 40%, is distinguished by a maximum speed of 120 km/h and a range of 800 km on a single charge.
The collaboration between Shacman, a brand of the China-based Shaanxi Automobile Holding Group, and Premium Group has established a production unit in Casablanca, where the first batch of X6000 trucks has already been assembled.
