Recently, Windrose (苇渡科技) successfully delivered its self-developed pure electric heavy-duty truck, the Windrose R700, to Rongqing Logistics, a leading enterprise in the logistics industry. This delivery marks another major milestone following their strategic partnership established in 2022 and nationwide joint testing in 2024.
As a benchmark enterprise in China’s logistics sector, Rongqing Logistics owns over 1,500 transport vehicles and integrates resources from more than 60,000 social vehicles. Its services span nationwide and extend into key international regions. The company has long been committed to driving green logistics through technological innovation. Rongqing previously supported Windrose through strategic investment and became one of the first to place an order for 300 Windrose electric heavy-duty trucks, continuously promoting the adoption of new energy trucks in trunk line logistics.
Proven Reliability Through Rigorous Real-World Testing
The R700’s reliability has been thoroughly validated through multiple rigorous field tests. Between 2023 and 2024, Windrose and Rongqing Logistics jointly completed tens of thousands of kilometers in real-world testing. For example, during a 1,456-kilometer route from Shanghai to Guangzhou, the vehicle required just two charging stops, demonstrating its impressive range and energy efficiency. Additionally, the R700 has shown stable performance in extreme environments, including high temperatures and high-altitude conditions, laying a solid technical foundation for large-scale deployment.
Built for Long-Haul Logistics: Windrose R700’s Flagship Specs
The delivered Windrose R700 is a flagship model specifically designed for long-haul logistics, overcoming key industry bottlenecks through multiple core technologies. It is equipped with a 729kWh ultra-large battery pack, enabling a full-load range of up to 670 kilometers. Combined with an 800V high-voltage platform and megawatt-level ultra-fast charging, the vehicle can recharge 400 kilometers of range in just 35 minutes, effectively eliminating range anxiety in long-distance transportation.
In terms of performance, the R700 can be configured with up to four electric motors, delivering a peak power output of 1,040kW and 2,200N·m of torque, ensuring strong adaptability to mountainous and high-altitude terrains. Thanks to its industry-leading drag coefficient of 0.2755 and lightweight body design, it achieves 30%–50% energy savings compared to similar products, significantly boosting both environmental and economic efficiency.
A Deeply Integrated Collaboration: Capital + Technology + Application Scenarios
This delivery reflects the outcome of deep collaboration between the two parties across capital investment, technology development, and real-world application scenarios. Their cooperation now spans a full-cycle innovation chain, from product R&D to joint testing and operational deployment.
With the batch delivery of the R700, Windrose and Rongqing will further explore innovative applications of electric heavy-duty trucks in cross-border transportation, multimodal logistics, and beyond, continuing to deliver efficient and low-carbon solutions for the logistics industry.
Looking ahead, Windrose Technology will continue to strengthen its R&D and global expansion, working hand-in-hand with partners to build a green logistics ecosystem, contributing technological strength to global carbon neutrality goals.
