Windrose’s next-generation electric trucks will overcome the threshold of 1,000 km with a single range in view of 2030. This is the message shared by the Chinese truck maker on the company’s renewed website, now available in 14 languages. Currently, the manufacturer is in the market with the second generation of its electric truck, capable of ensuring about 670 km range with a single charge, thanks to 750 kWh battery packs installed.

Windrose’s innovative electric trucks

Indeed, Windrose is selling its electric trucks not only in China, but nearly all over the world, with very attractive pricing policies especially in the UK, and the U.S. (namely, in California), based on grants and subsidies currently available, which make it possible to lower the initial vehicle price. In Europe, Windrose electric truck is sold at 250,000 euros, according to the public price list. The company is now headquartered in Antwerp, Belgium.

Looking towards the future, the startup held by CEO (and founder) Wen Han wants to unveil the third generation of its R700 by 2028, with improved 811 kWh batteries, thus capable of over 815 km. Then, by 2030, the fourth generation is expected to be released, equipped with over 960 kWh battery, and over 1,000 km range. That would be an actual revolution for heavy-duty long-haul transportation.
