HONG
KONG, Oct. 16, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Global
industrial property specialist Goodman Group and heavy-duty
electric truck developer Windrose Technology, have announced a
partnership to develop essential EV fast-charging infrastructure
for heavy-duty trucks at Goodman properties. The two companies will
share technical and sustainability expertise to test and deploy
fast-charging stations at selected Goodman properties in
China, before expanding to other
regions.
Wen Han, Founder, Chairman and
CEO of Windrose Technology said: "For our fleet customers as well
as their shippers, truck electrification is a crucial step in
reducing both carbon output and operating costs. The ability to
charge safely and quickly onsite, and having an expansive charging
infrastructure for our heavy-duty electric trucks, will also allow
us to better serve our customers. Goodman's commitment to
developing high-quality sustainable properties, in key strategic
markets globally, will help us accelerate our roadmap in
decarbonising our customers' supply chains."
Windrose is building the next generation of zero-emission and
intelligent heavy-duty trucks that serve customers in moving
consumer goods, facilitating cross-border commerce and logistics
around the world. The company's initial truck model has a target
range of 600km and weighs 49 tons. It has an 800V high-voltage
fast-charging platform and has completed high-temperature and
high-altitude testing with global sports brand Decathlon, also a
Goodman Group customer. The vehicle fleet will debut in
China in 2024, with the United States, Europe and Australia to follow.
Kristoffer Harvey, Chief
Executive Officer of Greater China
at Goodman Group, added: "Our business is focused on the current
and future needs of our customers including helping them improve
productivity and meet ESG targets. We do this by incorporating
sustainable design features in our properties to optimise
efficiency and minimise impact. Our work with Windrose to implement
heavy-duty EV transport infrastructure highlights our innovative
approach to finding sustainable solutions that will benefit our
customers and the communities we operate in."
Goodman joins Windrose Technology's growing group of investors
that includes Fountainvest Partners, Yunqi Partners, GSR
Ventures, as well as current and former executives from Coca-Cola,
