Reported byCleanTechnica ↗·Sourced by Goodlede

What backs it

China's Ministry of Transport targets 40% of new heavy-truck sales electric by 2030 (80% on short-haul Beijing routes), aiming for 1.6 million electric vehicles in the fleet with 3,000 charging and battery-swap stations as integrated infrastructure. Electric models already comprised nearly a third of China's new heavy-truck sales in 2025, with CATL projecting half could be electric by 2028.
