During the 1st May holiday, our team at Qingdao Passepartout Automobile Trading Co., Ltd successfully shipped a batch of commercial vehicles, encompassing various models, to Algeria, a key market in North Africa. This export features a diverse range of vehicles, including truck-mounted cranes, JMC light trucks, and dump trucks from Sinotruk and SHACMAN Automobile brands. These vehicles will widely serve local logistics, construction, and infrastructure projects in Algeria.
Diverse Models Meet Market Demand
As a major economy in Africa, Algeria has seen continuous growth in infrastructure construction and logistics demand in recent years. Industry data shows that the country's commercial vehicle market is experiencing steady growth, with particularly strong demand for light commercial vehicles and heavy trucks. The vehicle mix exported this time precisely addresses the diverse needs of the local market.
Truck-mounted cranes combine transportation and lifting functions, making them suitable for scenarios such as power maintenance, construction, and material handling. Recently, the Hasi project in Algeria has procured truck-mounted cranes with a rated lifting capacity of no less than 10 tons through open procurement for equipment installation and pipeline construction within the plant area. This shipment of truck-mounted cranes further supplements the equipment reserves for local engineering operations.

JMC light trucks have a strong user base in the Algerian market. Supplier information shows that JMC 4×2 light trucks are popular in the local logistics and transportation sector due to their 92-146 horsepower power configurations, 1-10 ton load capacities, and fuel economy. Some models offer a variety of cab options, including single-cab and double-cab, and can be customized with flatbed, box, and refrigerated container types to flexibly adapt to urban distribution and commercial transportation needs.

Dump trucks are core equipment in mining, infrastructure, and earthmoving projects. China National Heavy Duty Truck Group (CNHTC) and Shaanxi Automobile Group (Shaanxi Automobile) have cultivated the North African market for many years and have established a comprehensive sales and service network in Algeria. According to industry reviews, Shaanxi Automobile entered the Algerian market in 2006. Its SHACMAN brand has a high reputation in the local market, and it has further improved its localized service level by setting up an assembly workshop.
