Soaring Penetration Rate, the Mainstay of Urban Terminal Logistics
In recent years, driven by the “Double Carbon” strategy, the new energy process of commercial vehicles has continued to accelerate. Especially in the field of new energy trucks, the sales volume exceeded 200,000 units in 2024. Against this backdrop, pure electric small trucks have become a new favorite in the industry due to their flexibility and economy. The penetration rate has increased rapidly, exceeding 20% in March 2025 and is expected to reach 25% throughout 2025. That is, for every 4 small trucks sold nationwide, 1 will be a new energy vehicle.
Wang Qin, Deputy Secretary General of the Chengdu Cold Chain Logistics Chamber of Commerce, delivered a speech on behalf of the chamber. He said, “Small trucks are the ‘capillaries’ of terminal logistics distribution, undertaking the core task of the ‘last mile’ of urban distribution. Driven by national policies and the total cost for users, new energy small trucks are becoming more and more popular. The launch of Weichai Landking X1 meets the needs of this market. It is hoped that Weichai Landking will continuously introduce more high-quality products and, with excellent services, continuously help logistics practitioners reduce costs and increase efficiency, promoting the high-quality development of China’s logistics industry.”
