The giant CATL predicts the batteries that EVS will outperform the arduous combustion trucks in China by 2028. It has launched a battery unit that is compatible with most electric trucks and prepares a network of batteries switching stations. EVS constitutes 20.9 % of all hard trucks sold in China in December 2024.
China has become a global leader in electric cars and automotive technology, with one of the highest personal EV -building rates in the world. But this is also ahead of anyone else when it comes to sales electric trucks.
Electric trucks made up 10 % of all arduous Chinese truck sales last year. Gasgoo is quoted by the President of Juggernaut Catl, Zeng Yuqun, saying that this will keep up and exceed 50 % by 2028. If this prediction is accurately, the diesel will also stop being the most pushing method for driving cars, natural gas and electric fuel.
This popularity is driven by the new policies that encourage companies to choose EVS on combustion cars and machinery. China is looking into ways to reduce carbon emissions, 60 % of which are capabilities from commercial vehicles that transport shipping.
The ICCT International Council says the percentage of new electric trucks purchased last year was higher, 13 %, and rose to 20.9 % in December last year, showing clear signs of growth. It also indicates that sales of diesel trucks constituted 57 % in 2024, decreasing from 70 % in 2023. About 581 electric trucks for fuel cells were bought in China last year, and a market stake in the market was gained by 0.8 %.
Thanks to the recent developments in the shipping speeds-there are charger capable of offering 1 megawatts of power, which is necessary to renew the vast vast batteries without great disruption-the People’s Republic is in a wonderful position to move to its hardship faster than other countries.
CATL also wants to create the batteries replacement station networks specifically for electric trucks. Recently revealed the unified battery unit 75#, which the company says will be compatible with about 95 % of all electrical trucks. One station will be able to deal with 700,000 km per hour in one day, with each battery swap takes about five minutes.

It plans to build 300 such stations by the end of the year, and this battery exchange network is the key to pushing the market share of the arduous EVS to 50 % and beyond. By 2030, Catl intends to expand this network to cover 93,000 miles (150,000 km) of roads between 16 main cities, which will be sufficient to meet 80 % of road charging needs in the country.
The incentive for truck operators to switch to electric trucks is not only reduced emissions and improves air quality, a major problem about the main urban centers in China. There is also an economic incentive. Catl says that the use of its battery replacement stations will make savings of $ 8,300 (60,000 yuan) per 62,000 miles (100,000 km).
The arduous EVS manufacturers in China not only want to sell locally. Long -range trucks such as Windrose E1400, which appear to be a completely semi -Tesla version with a central driving mode, will soon enter 416 miles with a joint tractor and a trailer weight of 98,000 pounds (49 tons).
This is thanks to a huge LFP battery package of 729 kW an hour that can be recharged in approximately 1 megawatts if strong charging devices are connected to each of the shipping port. Its efficiency, which runs on the subsidized manufacturer’s numbers only, reaches about 1.75 kilowatt hours per mile, which makes it more economical than half of Tesla, whose demand is 2 kW per mile while it is fully loaded with a total weight of 82,000 pounds (41 tons).
This is just one of many arduous EVS that comes out of China. There are dozens of them. Some offer larger batteries, with one of Sany to fill a battery of 1,165 kW hour. This gives it a required range of 497 miles (800 km).
It is not difficult to see a future where one of this success is. With the infrastructure to support the long -distance battery replacement network, it appears that 50 % of the electric trucks are on hand.
