Windrose Technology recently introduced its all-electric long-haul sleeper truck to the U.S. market. This Class 8 vehicle boasts a 420-mile range and is now commercially available.
The truck’s capabilities were demonstrated during a 2,800-mile cross-country journey across the U.S., utilizing only public charging stations. Additionally, it completed a 3,000-mile cargo delivery from Hong Kong to Kazakhstan, showcasing its reliability and compatibility with existing charging infrastructure.
“This isn’t just a prototype or promise-this is a fully operational, long-range electric truck that’s ready to haul freight today,” said Wen Han, founder, chairman, and CEO of Windrose. “We’ve validated our technology globally and are proud to bring it to the U.S., one of the most important logistics markets in the world.”
Designed for real-world logistics, the Windrose sleeper truck features a bunk area for the driver, fast-charging capabilities compatible with both MCS and CCS standards, and more than 700kWh of battery capacity using both LFP and NMC battery types.
Windrose partnered with JoyRide Logistics, a Phoenix-based carrier operating more than 250 trucks across six states, to deploy these electric sleepers. This collaboration aligns with JoyRide’s commitment to sustainability and operational efficiency.
“Partnering with Windrose allows us to stay ahead — not just on sustainability, but on total operational performance,” said Adis Danan, president of JoyRide Logistics.
Supporting the infrastructure needs of this initiative is EO Charging, a global leader in EV charging solutions. EO Charging provides comprehensive services, including real estate acquisition, charging infrastructure deployment, and vehicle financing.
“Together, Windrose, JoyRide, and EO Charging are making electrified long-haul freight a reality—not years from now, but today,” said Charlie Jardine, president and founder of EO Charging.
Windrose’s entry into the U.S. market is further solidified by plans to establish an assembly plant in Georgia, aiming to produce semi-trucks domestically starting in 2025.
