A new electric truck from Belgium-based OEM Windrose, a company with Chinese DNA – has made its UK debut.
The Windrose Global E700 6x4 tractor unit electric truck was taking its first charge in the UK at Fleete’s 5MW ultra-rapid charging hub at the Port of Tilbury.
Featuring a distinctive centre-driver cab layout, the truck is now set to begin a nationwide tour of logistics sites and truck charging locations to demonstrate how long-range electric trucks can operate on UK routes using high-power infrastructure.
With a battery capacity of more than 700kWh, it uses a flexible four battery pack configuration designed for demanding freight duty cycles.
Windrose says the Global E700 can deliver a range of more than 700km (435 miles) when fully loaded and operating at high speeds.
The truck is both Megawatt Charging System (MCS) and CCS2-ready as standard, ensuring compatibility with high-power charging networks such as Fleete Tilbury.
