Electric heavy vehicle development in China

Overview

Developments in China’s electric heavy vehicle sector have seen the introduction of specialized large-scale machinery for both mining and logistics.

In August 2026, Zijin Longking unveiled the ZL230E, a battery-electric haul truck for open-pit mining. The vehicle features a 1,400 kWh battery system designed for rapid charging to minimize downtime and can carry payloads of up to 230 tonnes.

By September 2026, XCMG launched the Hanjing, a next-generation electric heavy truck aimed at long-haul freight. This model utilizes an 800-volt architecture for megawatt-class fast charging. The launch coincides with a significant market shift in China, where electric models have risen to account for nearly 50% of new truck sales.
