Quantron plans to establish a platform for zero-emission and autonomous heavy-duty commercial vehicles in China with HyperView and Riyue Group, targeting the procurement of 2,000 zero-emission trucks in Shaoxing by 2030.
Consortium Targets Chinese Commercial Vehicle Market
Quantron, HyperView and Riyue Group have signed a strategic framework agreement to establish a consortium for the rollout of autonomous electric commercial vehicles in China. The agreement identifies a government-affiliated platform company in Shaoxing as the planned buyer of the vehicles, although further details about the company have not been disclosed.
The initiative is intended to combine vehicle technology, autonomous driving, hydrogen mobility and renewable energy expertise. Quantron plans to act as a system integrator as the partners develop vehicle and fleet solutions for the Chinese market.
Quantron Advances China Joint Venture
The announcement follows Quantron’s plans to establish a joint venture in China with technology company HyperView. Quantron China is expected to develop platforms for battery-electric and hydrogen-powered commercial vehicles, with Taiwanese manufacturer Foxconn joining as an industrial manufacturing partner.
Foxconn is expected to support industrial production of the planned truck and bus platforms. HyperView contributes expertise in hydrogen mobility and autonomous driving, while Riyue Group is expected to provide expertise in renewable energy.
Brand Returns Under Haller Group
The latest initiative marks the continuation of the Quantron brand within the Haller Group following the company’s insolvency.
Quantron AG, which was founded in 2019, filed for insolvency at the end of October 2024 after a financing round failed. On April 1, 2025, founder Andreas Haller acquired the remaining assets and the then-35 employees through Andreas Haller Holding as part of a transfer of assets.
Quantron AG as a legal entity subsequently ceased to exist, while the Quantron brand continued within the Haller Group. Andreas Haller Holding now refers to Quantron as its Mobility Business Unit.
The current strategy is focused on China, where the company is working with local and international partners to develop and manufacture zero-emission commercial vehicles.
Quantron Targets 2,000-Vehicle Scale
Daniel Fräde, CEO of Quantron, said the planned 2,000-vehicle programme would provide a commercial basis for the company’s activities in China.
“The ramp-up to 2,000 vehicles envisaged in the agreement gives QUANTRON China a clear commercial perspective and provides the scale required for a competitive market entry,” Fräde said.
“Together with our partners, we will now translate this perspective into concrete vehicle programmes and integrated customer solutions – from the vehicle and energy supply to financing, service and digital fleet management,” he added.
Quantron previously pursued international partnerships as a system integrator in markets including the United States, the Middle East and India. Earlier framework agreements did not develop into the anticipated programmes, while the company ultimately entered insolvency following liquidity shortages.
