Chinese electric truck maker Windrose Technology has secured a $60 million supply contract from California-based Nevoya and entered into a partnership with Chile’s Trailerlogistics Sudamérica, marking its expansion into a fifth continent.
The agreement with Nevoya represents Windrose’s largest single order in the U.S. to date and includes the delivery of several hundred R700 Class 8 battery-electric semi-trucks. Initial deliveries are expected by late 2025, with full deployment planned for 2026.
To support its U.S. operations, Windrose has begun transporting knock-down kits using its own electric trucks between Shanghai and Los Angeles. The move follows previous statements by founder and CEO Han Wen about plans to build an assembly plant in Georgia.
The first 50 trucks for Nevoya will feature 729 kWh battery packs, 800-volt architecture, and dual charging systems compatible with CCS1 and MCS standards. The system allows for a 60% charge in 35 minutes. Deployment will target freight routes on Interstates 10, 5, and 45, with charging infrastructure supported by provider Terawatt as part of the I-10 Corridor Electrification Coalition.
Separately, Windrose has entered the South American market through a new distribution and sales agreement with Trailerlogistics Sudamérica. The Santiago-based logistics company will serve as both early customer and regional distributor, with plans to deploy up to 100 Windrose trucks by end-2026. Pilot units are expected to arrive in Chile by Q3 2025.
“I am completely convinced Chile is the perfect market to start with Windrose in South America,” said Hernan Searle Ferrari, CEO of Trailerlogistics, in a LinkedIn post. “Apart from having totally open trade agreements with all international markets, Chile boasts world-class highways and a unique geography; from the desert in the north, all the way south down to Antarctica, covering a total of 4,000km.”
Windrose’s expansion into Chile adds South America to its global footprint, which already includes deployments in Asia, Europe, North America, and Oceania. The company has positioned itself as a long-haul EV truck specialist, targeting terrain and charging flexibility across diverse environments.
