On September 14, the 72nd IAA Transportation exhibition in Hanover, Germany, officially kicked off. As a leading enterprise with a century-long industrial heritage that spearheads the global new-energy commercial vehicle sector, Sinotruk made a powerful appearance under the theme “Powering All, Delivering One.” Showcasing its high-end SITRAK product lineup, intelligent equipment, and integrated energy-replenishment ecosystem solutions, the company demonstrated—through industry-leading technology and mature, comprehensive transport solutions—the high-end intelligent manufacturing standards and robust global capabilities of Chinese commercial vehicles to the world.
Comprehensive, Robust Product Capabilities and Efficient Electric Transport Solutions
For a long time, global battery-electric heavy-duty trucks have faced common industry pain points such as insufficient range, inefficient energy replenishment, limited transport capacity, and reliability issues. As environmental standards rise, the medium-to-long-haul trunk-line logistics sector—which accounts for a significant share of global road freight carbon emissions—demands battery-electric products that are practical, highly efficient, and profitable. The all-new generation SITRAK 4×2 battery-electric tractor represents a systematic solution to these industry challenges.
Unveiled on the first day of the exhibition, the all-new generation SITRAK 4×2 battery-electric tractor targets the global demand for zero-carbon trunk-line logistics, offering users worldwide a high-efficiency transport solution from Sinotruk. This benchmark model is not only the star product of the exhibition but also a strategic masterpiece through which Sinotruk addresses global industrial transformation trends, targets the high-end international market, and leads the global shift toward electrification in trunk-line logistics. The vehicle is equipped with Sinotruk’s new-generation new energy powertrain, featuring a class-leading 600 kWh battery, a range exceeding 500 km on a single charge, and megawatt-level charging capabilities—allowing it to charge from 20% to 80% in just 23 minutes. With a curb weight of only 10.1 tons and a maximum payload capacity of 44 tons, it enables greater hauling capacity and higher earnings. A low-drag aerodynamic design, combined with advanced energy management and regenerative braking systems, results in an energy consumption of just 1.1 kWh per kilometer. Furthermore, the vehicle integrates an L2+ advanced intelligent driver-assistance system capable of handling 90% of highway driving scenarios—including intelligent speed control, automatic lane changing and overtaking, automatic obstacle avoidance, and automatic ramp navigation—enabling fully automated highway driving without driver intervention.
Sinotruk offers more than just a truck; it provides a comprehensive solution that facilitates the low-carbon transformation of the global commercial vehicle sector and delivers efficient, electrified transport for long-haul logistics worldwide.
A Global Provider of Commercial Vehicle and Transport Solutions
As a pioneer in the overseas expansion of Chinese commercial vehicles and a leader in global industry innovation, Sinotruk has moved beyond the traditional model of simple product exports. The impressive performance of its products on the global stage is underpinned by years of deep market cultivation and comprehensive, full-chain operational strength.
Unlike superficial export models focused on individual products, Sinotruk leverages its extensive experience in independent R&D and deep-rooted manufacturing expertise to drive a multidimensional global expansion encompassing products, technology, branding, services, and ecosystem development. Today, Sinotruk’s products are sold in over 150 countries and regions. Supported by a network of 37 KD (Knock-Down) assembly plants and over 1,000 service outlets worldwide—along with $105 million in overseas central warehouse inventory for new energy spare parts, more than 40 international training centers, and a team of over 300 EV technical specialists providing on-the-ground support—the company has successfully transformed from a vehicle exporter into a provider of integrated solutions covering technology, services, and branding.Deeply cultivating overseas markets and catering to the needs of global users, Sinotruk empowers the global logistics industry with original Chinese technology, “Intelligent Manufacturing” standards, and mature Chinese solutions. By doing so, it ensures that Chinese commercial vehicles are not merely exported worldwide but are deeply rooted in global markets and dedicated to serving customers across the globe, thereby continuously enhancing the industry influence and brand reputation of Chinese commercial vehicles on the international stage.
Standing on the Global Stage, Continuously Showcasing the Power of Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing
With a century-long legacy of upholding tradition while driving innovation, Sinotruk has consistently led the way forward. Founded in 1930, the company embraced the historic mission of filling the gap in domestic heavy-duty truck production and revitalizing the national automotive industry from its very inception. From independently manufacturing China’s first heavy-duty truck—the Huanghe JN150—which ended the era of China’s inability to produce its own heavy-duty trucks, to continuously iterating technology and spearheading industry transformation, Sinotruk has spent nearly a century defining the trajectory of China’s heavy-duty truck industry as a true pioneer.
Positioned amidst the global wave of green transformation in commercial vehicles and the upgrading of smart logistics, Sinotruk is aligning with top international standards through robust scientific and technological innovation. Its presence at the Hannover exhibition represents not only a showcase of strength to the global market but also a vivid demonstration of how the century-old brand carries its legacy forward, empowering global green development through Chinese intelligent manufacturing.
Looking ahead, Sinotruk will continue to prioritize innovation and quality as its core pillars, deepening its globalization strategy. The company aims to propel the global logistics and transportation industry toward greater efficiency, intelligence, and sustainability, while demonstrating the premier capabilities and industry leadership of Chinese intelligent manufacturing to the world.
