Windrose
Windrose is a new zero-emissions global heavy truck OEM, operating in North America, Asia, Europe, and Australia and NZ.
Founded in 2022, the company has strong focus on technology and innovation, claiming its prime movers are the most aerodynamic, most powerful battery-electric trucks on the market with the longest range and fastest charging times.
The brand displayed its all-electric prime mover at The Depot precinct outside the recent Brisbane Truck Show, boasting an incredible 670km range. Windrose has achieved the impressive driving range by using a large 729kWh battery, underpinned by an 800-volt architecture, capable of being charged from 20 to 80 per cent in as little as 38 minutes.
The company is currently testing the prime mover in Australia and has confirmed plans to launch the model sometime in 2026.
