Wen Han, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Windrose Technology said: "For our fleet customers as well as their shippers, truck electrification is a crucial step in reducing both carbon output and operating costs. The ability to charge safely and quickly onsite, and having an expansive charging infrastructure for our heavy-duty electric trucks, will also allow us to better serve our customers. Goodman's commitment to developing high-quality sustainable properties, in key strategic markets globally, will help us accelerate our roadmap in decarbonising our customers' supply chains."

The company's initial truck model has a target range of 600km and weighs 49 tons. It has an 800V high-voltage fast-charging platform and has completed high-temperature and high-altitude testing with global sports brand Decathlon, also a Goodman Group customer, as per Windrose.

We do this by incorporating sustainable design features in our properties to optimise efficiency and minimise impact. Our work with Windrose to implement heavy-duty EV transport infrastructure highlights our innovative approach to finding sustainable solutions that will benefit our customers and the communities we operate in."
