Windrose Technology has secured a significant milestone in its international expansion, announcing the deployment of 10 battery-electric Class 8 trucks for DSV on the strategic I-35 freight corridor linking Dallas, San Antonio and Laredo, Texas, before continuing towards Monterrey in Mexico. The project is being carried out in partnership with transport operator Allogic and charging infrastructure provider Greenspace E-Mobility.

Rather than representing a conventional vehicle delivery, the initiative marks the start of commercial freight operations on one of North America’s busiest logistics corridors, where more than 20,000 trucks cross through Laredo every day as part of US-Mexico trade.

A strategic corridor for zero-emission freight

The deployment forms the first commercial fleet activation on Greenspace E-Mobility’s planned “Electric Highway”, a charging network currently under development between Texas and northern Mexico.

The first phase includes four charging hubs in Texas, scheduled to become operational by the end of 2026. The sites will offer charging from 400 kW up to Megawatt Charging System (MCS) capability and integrate on-site solar generation and battery storage to support heavy-duty operations.

According to Windrose, the current-generation E700 offers more than 400 miles (around 640 km) of real-world range, allowing the Dallas-Laredo route with only a short charging stop in San Antonio. The company says its next-generation platform is expected to exceed 500 miles of range.

Another step in Windrose’s global ambitions

For Windrose, the DSV agreement is significant beyond the initial fleet size. The company has been positioning itself as a global manufacturer rather than a China-focused startup, highlighting that its heavy-duty truck platform is designed to meet certification requirements across North America, Europe and other international markets. The collaboration with DSV also provides an important operational reference with one of the world’s largest logistics groups, demonstrating how Chinese manufacturers are increasingly targeting long-haul commercial applications outside their domestic market.

If the first phase proves successful, the partners plan to extend the project in 2027 by adding further charging hubs and expanding the fleet with an additional 25 Windrose electric trucks, creating what they describe as the first fully electric cross-border freight corridor between the United States and Mexico.
