As uncertainty in the domestic logistics market increases and operating risks rise, the industry has entered a new era centered on total cost of ownership (TCO). The truck selection logic of fleets and independent truckers is also shifting: purchase decisions no longer focus solely on the bare price of the vehicle — operating indicators such as fuel economy, reliability of availability, maintenance costs, second-hand residual value and payback period have become the core basis of buying decisions. NEXT ERA heavy trucks, under the Scania Group, draw on the design language of the "ding", an ancient Chinese ritual vessel, and for the first time feature the Chinese-character "Scania" emblem on the front. This localized design is a direct expression of NEXT ERA’s focus on the core operating needs of Chinese users. Backed by the Group’s globally unified high-end manufacturing quality, NEXT ERA heavy trucks are deeply optimized for China’s long-haul transport scenarios, helping users reduce costs, increase efficiency and operate safely, continuously optimizing vehicle lifecycle costs and honoring the long-term commitment of "In China, more Chinese". As trunk-line transport scenarios continue to segment, NEXT ERA heavy trucks will soon launch more scenario-based product solutions, continuously enriching the localized product matrix and helping to meet the diverse transport capacity needs of domestic users.
NEXT ERA Trucks Have Not Only a "Chinese Face" but a "Chinese Heart"
Currently, NEXT ERA offers three mainstream models covering multiple drive configurations: 4×2, 6×2 and 6×4. With transparent pricing, excellent fuel economy, sincere warranty, high reliability and good residual value expectations, NEXT ERA heavy trucks provide a quantifiable, low-risk, profit-improving solution for long-haul trunk-line logistics. The official prices of NEXT ERA PRO versions are clear: 539,000 yuan for the 4×2 model, 566,000 yuan for the 6×2 model, and 588,000 yuan for the 6×4 model. All models sold in 2026 enjoy a 3-year/600,000 km complete vehicle warranty (whichever comes first), plus delivery maintenance, flexible financing policies and other cost-effective purchase benefits. Verified through first-batch users’ real operation and official joint tests, under the same working conditions and transport scenarios, NEXT ERA heavy trucks deliver outstanding fuel economy, achieving a 12%-20% reduction in fuel costs. Over long-term operation, this advantage keeps accumulating, helping users quickly close the purchase price gap, making initial investment clearly controllable and long-term operating returns predictable.
NEXT ERA’s transparent pricing, complete warranty and purchase benefits
NEXT ERA’s cost advantage comes from systematic, coordinated optimization of the whole vehicle, not from piling up single configurations. Purpose-designed for long-haul freight conditions, it is manufactured locally at the Scania Rugao Industrial Production Base, following the Group’s globally unified production processes and quality control standards. The truck is equipped with the new-generation TD13 low-speed, high-torque engine from the Scania Group, matched with the industry-exclusive PG14 intelligent shift transmission, delivering up to 500 hp and 2,550 N·m peak torque, with an ultra-wide economic torque range of 900–1,290 rpm, adapting to mainstream long-haul and even ultra-long-haul complex trunk-line conditions in China. Power delivery is smooth, with no frequent downshifting needed, reducing energy consumption and component wear from the source. Meanwhile, the truck features multiple leading energy-saving technologies, including a 0.37Cd ultra-low drag body, a lightweight structure slimmed by 300–500 kg, EU Class A low rolling resistance tires, paired with the CCAP active predictive cruise system, which intelligently anticipates road conditions and locks in the economical fuel consumption range. Both new and experienced drivers can achieve stable low fuel consumption, solving the problems of fleet fuel consumption fluctuation and uncontrollable costs.
NEXT ERA’s multiple energy-saving technologies work together for stable low consumption
Extensive user testing under severe working conditions fully validates NEXT ERA’s benchmark fuel-saving strength. From the real operating feedback of first-batch users, NEXT ERA heavy trucks maintain a stable comprehensive fuel consumption of 23L–27L per 100 km on regular long-haul trunk lines. The balanced, stable fuel economy highly matches the core needs of scale-up, normalized transport capacity upgrades of Chinese trunk-line fleets.
NEXT ERA validates fuel economy and punctuality performance based on real road conditions
As the heavy truck industry fully shifts to full-lifecycle value competition, NEXT ERA heavy trucks, with solid product strength, an increasingly complete warranty system and an efficient TCO value loop, build high-reliability, high-yield quality transport capacity solutions for Chinese truckers. Looking ahead, NEXT ERA will continue to deepen its presence in the Chinese market, optimizing its product portfolio and localized services, helping the logistics industry further reduce costs and increase efficiency, and promoting high-quality development of China’s long-haul logistics industry.
