Chinese state-owned truck-maker Beiqi Foton Motor Company has partnered with Huawei Digital Power Technologies Company to develop electrification technologies for battery-powered heavy-duty trucks and establish an ultra-fast recharging network.
Foton and Huawei aim to accelerate the transition of battery-powered heavy trucks to fully electric logistics, reducing logistics costs and carbon emissions.
The collaboration leverages Foton’s commercial vehicle expertise and Huawei Digital Power’s digital and power electronics technologies to address challenges like extended charging times and low operational efficiency in heavy-duty trucks.
Huawei Digital Power’s “megawatt-level” ultra-fast charging solution for heavy-duty trucks provides a stable output of 2,400 amps, four times more efficient than conventional networks. This allows a heavy truck to gain a 100 km range with just a five-minute charge.
Foton plans to launch commercial vehicle models compatible with the new charging standard to offer smarter and more energy-efficient solutions for the commercial vehicle ecosystem.
