Recently, Windrose Technology has obtained two authoritative EU certifications, namely the UN ECE R155 Vehicle Cybersecurity Management System and the R156 Vehicle Software Upgrade Management System. This marks that Windrose Technology has become the first enterprise among the new forces brands of new energy heavy trucks in China to obtain dual-system certifications. It also means that Windrose has reached the EU’s mandatory technical standards in the core field of intelligent networking, laying a key compliance foundation for accelerating its global layout.
As mandatory access conditions for the EU market, R155 and R156 are core regulations for technological compliance in the global automotive industry. The former requires enterprises to establish a full-life-cycle cybersecurity protection system covering research and development, production, and operation to ensure that vehicles are not maliciously attacked in data transmission, function control, and other aspects. The latter sets strict standards for the remote upgrade of in-vehicle software, with clear specifications for the security of the update process and the stability of system iteration. These two certifications have long been regarded as a “technological moat” by international giants. However, relying on its independently developed vehicle-cloud collaborative security architecture and full-scenario OTA verification system, Windrose has become one of the first Chinese new forces brands to overcome this “tough challenge”, undoubtedly setting a benchmark for the industry to break through international compliance barriers.
On April 28th, Mr. Chen Haoli, President of Windrose Technology, members of the project team, Qi Xiaodong, General Manager of ATIC Testing Services, and Zhu Caiwen, Sales Manager of the Greater China Region of ATIC, attended the certification awarding ceremony.
Mr. Chen Haoli, President of Windrose Technology, said, “We are very grateful to ATIC Testing Services for helping Windrose obtain the R155 and R156 system certifications relatively quickly. These two certifications are key passes for Windrose to enter the EU and other markets, reflecting the recognition of Windrose’s technical strength and product quality. It also benefits from our strategy of planning at one time, implementing in steps, proceeding in parallel, and advancing steadily, which further accelerates our exploration of the global market. In the future, Windrose will continue to be committed to the research, development, and innovation of new energy commercial vehicle technologies. As a ‘compliance advocate and leader’, we will actively respond to various requirements for the compliance of new energy commercial vehicles globally.”
Qi Xiaodong, General Manager of ATIC Testing Services, said, “This cooperation is a good start. We have witnessed the compliance capabilities of Windrose Technology, and we hope that the cooperation between the two sides will be closer in the future. We promise to fully support Windrose’s internationalization process.”
At the product level, Windrose has always focused on the pure electric heavy truck track. Its star model, the Windrose R700, is equipped with a 729kWh battery pack, achieving a full-load cruising range of 670 km. With an 800V high-voltage drive platform, it supports megawatt-level fast charging technology, and can replenish enough energy for a 400 km journey in 35 minutes.
In terms of the globalization strategy, Windrose has formed a layout across four continents: Asia, America, Europe, and Australia. It has reached a strategic cooperation with Orange, the third largest telecommunications operator in Europe. In North America, it will cooperate with Joyride Logistics to complete the logistics route test for Amazon. In Australia, it plans to start deliveries by the end of 2025 and will simultaneously explore the South American market. Currently, Windrose’s customers include leading domestic and foreign enterprises such as Decathlon, Wyeth Nutrition, Kerry Logistics, and Rongqing Logistics.
This breakthrough in certification not only reflects the technical strength of Windrose but also marks that the new forces of China’s new energy heavy trucks have shifted from “following” to “running alongside” in the competition of international standards. With the surging demand for zero-carbon transportation globally, Windrose, based on compliance and armed with technology, will continue to promote the leap of “Made in China” in the global heavy truck industry value chain, opening up a new path for the globalization development of the industry.
