Gotion High-Tech, Green Power Morocco and Chery Heavy Trucks have agreed to develop a 2,000-kilometre electric logistics corridor linking Morocco and France, targeting lower emissions in cross-continental freight transport.
The planned route will connect Agadir in southern Morocco via the Port of Tangier to Perpignan in southern France, a corridor currently used by around 2,000 heavy-duty trucks daily, according to the companies.
As part of the initiative, Gotion and Green Power Morocco will establish a joint venture to oversee fleet operations, battery-swapping infrastructure, smart dispatch systems, and energy storage integration.
A central feature of the project is the use of battery-swapping technology, designed to reduce downtime for long-haul electric trucks and improve asset utilisation. The partners said they are also working on battery standardisation and lifecycle management to enable scalable deployment.
The initial rollout will include 100 battery-electric heavy-duty trucks equipped with Gotion battery systems, with further expansion dependent on operational performance and infrastructure buildout. Chery Heavy Trucks will contribute vehicle engineering and manufacturing capabilities.
The companies said the project integrates vehicle electrification, energy infrastructure, and digital fleet management into a unified platform, with the aim of creating a replicable model for low-emission freight corridors between regions.
“This cooperation combines Gotion’s battery technology with Chery’s manufacturing to tailor electric logistics solutions for regional needs. Morocco’s logistics sector holds strong long-term potential,” said Phil Jenkins, CEO of GPM Holding.
“This is an important step to expand application scenarios for our battery technologies, supporting practical, scalable lower-emission freight solutions,” added Li Zhen, Chairman of Gotion High-Tech.
