As the penetration rate of new energy heavy-duty trucks in the industry exceeds 22.7%, Shandong Heavy Industry Group has delivered an astonishing performance: in the first half of 2025, the sales volume of new energy heavy - duty trucks surged to 24,000 units, a year - on - year increase of 242%!Behind this ultra - high - speed growth is the powerful momentum unleashed by the group's long - term cultivation of a technical system and product matrix in the new energy field.
Weichai Power, a subsidiary of Shandong Heavy Industry, serves as a powerful "green heart" for the group's new energy vehicles, providing them with strong power. Its product line covers the entire field of batteries, motors, and electric controls: more than 100 battery products with power ratings ranging from 2 to 1,000kWh, over 30 motor products with power outputs spanning from 60 to 600kW, and more than 20 electric control products with rated power covering 100 - 350kW. This provides a solid technical foundation for the group's vehicle product layout.
Relying on strong technical support, Shandong Heavy Industry has created a powerful product matrix that covers all scenarios and all technical routes:
Sinotruk has achieved full - series new energy product coverage from tractors to dump trucks, concrete mixers, sanitation vehicles, and light - duty trucks. The technical routes include charging, battery - swapping, hybrid - power, and hydrogen - fuel. The pure - electric models have power ratings ranging from 60 to 600kWh, and the 300kW hydrogen - fuel models lead the country in performance.
Shaanxi Heavy - duty Trucks has launched revolutionary new energy 2.0 products and unveiled its fully - independent three - electric "Zhihui" brand. The three major series under the Zhihui brand - 600, 500, and 400 - cover eight niche markets. The "Weichai battery + FAW - AMT + Hande electric drive axle" golden powertrain, which it is equipped with, has achieved complete independent control of the three - electric hardware and software. The vehicle's economy and reliability have set a new industry benchmark.
Core technology breakthroughs have become the "terminator" of range - anxiety. Shandong Heavy Industry has successfully cracked the technical challenge of electric drive axle integration and achieved full - series independent research and development. Sinotruk's innovative dual - motor two - speed electric drive axle performs exceptionally well under high - speed heavy - load conditions. It reduces the vehicle's weight by 203kg and increases the range by more than 8%, directly addressing the core pain point of range anxiety in new - energy commercial vehicles.
Market achievements have proven the acceleration of the green transformation. Not only heavy - duty trucks, but also the group's new - energy products have flourished in multiple locations both at home and abroad: 200 new - energy light - duty trucks were delivered in Shanghai; Zhongtong won an order for 895 electric buses to Chile, setting a new record for the single - batch export of Chinese buses to Chile; Weichai's methanol - powered mining excavator was successfully delivered to Xinjiang, opening up new space for the "chain - development" of the green methanol industry.
From the rise of the Weichai (Yantai) new - energy power plant with an annual capacity of 50GWh to the green solutions covering diverse application scenarios - Shandong Heavy Industry has used an innovative combination of "technology + product + model" to not only achieve an advanced leap in its own new - energy business, but also to create an unstoppable green storm in the industry.
