Key technical specifications include:
- Battery Capacity: 700kWh+ using both NMC and LFP chemistries.
- Range Capabilities: Second generation achieves 670km fully loaded at 49 tons; third generation targets 800km.
- Charging Speed: 870kW peak power via MCS, CCS1, CCS2, and G/B standards.
- Connectivity: Dual charging plugs available per truck.
Operational Milestones in China
Windrose has conducted extensive testing across major Chinese logistics corridors. These tests validate the vehicle’s range and reliability under varied conditions.
Shenzhen to Alashankou
In partnership with CEVA Logistics, a Windrose EV truck completed a 5,000km trip. The vehicle traveled from Shenzhen to the Kazakhstan border. The route utilized the G30 highway and required nine charging stops.
Dongguan to Beijing
Carrying Decathlon products, the truck traversed the G4 highway. The 2,253km journey took 53 hours. The vehicle required only two stops to recharge during the entire route.
Shanghai to Tianjin
Kuehne+Nagel partnered with Windrose for a low-carbon transport test. The 2,178km round-trip was completed in 54 hours. Energy consumption was recorded at a low 0.96kWh per kilometer.
Additional Commercial Deployments
Windrose trucks are currently active on the G2 highway between Beijing and Shanghai. Operations by KLN cover 1,191km with a single charge. Additionally, Rokin Logistics operates the trucks on the G15 highway, completing 1,549km trips with three charging stops.
North American and European Deployment
The company has successfully demonstrated capabilities in Western markets. These operations focus on long-haul routes and cross-border logistics.
United States Operations
During the recent Run on Less program, a Windrose sleeper truck partnered with Joyride. The vehicle covered 9,630km (5,795 miles) over 18 days. The route spanned the I-5, I-10, and I-35 corridors with a total weight between 29 and 34.1 tons.
European Operations
Windrose completed a 2,600km round-trip for ATC, part of the Arvato group. The route connected Venlo, Netherlands, to Budapest, Hungary. The journey began at the Milence fast-charging hub in Venlo.
Heavy Haul Capabilities in Australia
Tests in Australia have focused on extreme weight and incline performance. These trials prove the viability of electric propulsion for heavy industry.
