Windrose Technology Closes Hundreds-of-Millions RMB Series B1 Round to Accelerate Mass Production and Delivery of New-Energy Heavy-Duty Trucks | Yunxun · Funding

➤➤➤ Recently, "Windrose Technology" completed a Series B1 funding round in the hundreds of millions of RMB. Investors in this round include Hefei Baohe District Linghang Venture Capital Fund, Australia's largest industrial property group Goodman Group, and Hong Kong-listed Zo Future Group, among others. Previously, Yunqi Capital co-led the company's Series A round.** Proceeds from this round will accelerate mass production and delivery of the company's new energy intelligent heavy-duty trucks, as well as certification and testing for its US and European products. To date, Windrose Technology has completed four funding rounds, each in the hundreds of millions of RMB.

Yunqi Capital's Perspective

Yunqi Capital has always focused on "Technology Innovation, Industrial Empowerment" — autonomous driving is a key sector that Yunqi has long tracked and continued to double down on. In recent years, Yunqi Capital has invested in projects including Yunqi Capital and Neolix, building a systematic portfolio covering low-speed and high-speed applications, passenger and cargo scenarios.

Yunqi Capital said: "New energy heavy-duty trucks carry enormous economic value and ESG significance. We are bullish on Windrose Technology's differentiated capabilities on multiple fronts. First, its product definition for heavy-duty trucks is industry-leading, effectively addressing pain points including extending range, adapting to autonomous driving, and improving driver working conditions. Second, the Windrose team has prior end-to-end experience in heavy-duty truck R&D and manufacturing, combining technical foresight with product execution. Finally, the founder previously led partnerships with overseas top-tier logistics fleets, enabling faster global deployment of new energy heavy-duty trucks based on China's supply chain advantages. We look forward to working with Windrose Technology to usher in a more economical, cleaner, and intelligent future for the logistics industry."

Windrose Technology is China's first pure ground-up developer of new energy autonomous heavy-duty truck total solutions. Recently, the company signed an agreement to locate its China core components production base and supply chain headquarters in Suzhou New District. From this new starting point, Windrose Technology will accelerate its layout in the new energy intelligent heavy-duty truck sector, collaborating with the local industrial cluster for high-quality development. Meanwhile, in the latest Road Motor Vehicle Manufacturers and Products Announcement (Batch 378) issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Windrose Technology's pure electric tractor appeared in the announcement catalog — from project initiation to product announcement, Windrose's pure electric tractor took only 21 months to develop.

In chassis design, Windrose adopted a fully self-developed electronic and electrical architecture and vehicle controller, along with a steer-by-wire chassis co-developed with top-tier industry suppliers, achieving a redundant steer-by-wire system designed for high-level autonomous driving. The frame's "中"-shaped structure offers high space utilization, rational energy storage layout, and a lower center of gravity — delivering superior stability.

In body design, Windrose Technology's electric truck uses a bird's nest structure with extensive use of non-metallic exterior materials. The highly streamlined overall shape achieved a drag coefficient of 0.2755 in testing. Compared to conventional cab-over trucks with drag coefficients as high as 0.65, pure electric heavy-duty trucks all pursue reducing drag through design to cut power consumption and extend range. For example, Geely's Farizon Homtruck G series super heavy-duty truck achieves drag below 0.45; DeepWay's DeepWay · Xingchen has a drag coefficient of 0.35; while Windrose Technology's HFC4259EV21/2 models tested at CATA's wind tunnel achieved a drag coefficient of 0.2755.

In range and charging, Windrose Technology's electric truck achieves 600 km of range under the 49-ton fully loaded CHTC-TT test cycle. It uses an 800V high-voltage platform compatible with megawatt-level charging technology, with a 15%-80% SOC charge (65% = 390 km) time of 35 minutes.

Extensive modular design throughout the vehicle reduces curb weight and increases commonality — factors that will fundamentally transform future heavy-duty truck production logic.

Windrose Technology has secured China's largest new energy heavy-duty truck order from Rokin Logistics, and is currently conducting vehicle testing on the Chinese mainland and in Hong Kong with companies including sporting goods retailer Decathlon SA, logistics and industrial property firm Goodman Group, and Kerry Logistics Network Ltd. The company has also achieved market breakthroughs in China, the US, and Europe.

As China's first pure ground-up developer of new energy heavy-duty trucks, Windrose Technology has a clear commercialization strategy: targeting China's new energy heavy-duty truck market, steadily entering European and US markets, and continuously using ground-up designed new energy autonomous heavy-duty trucks to dramatically improve transport safety, reduce costs and increase efficiency for the industry, and reshape the market with cutting-edge technology.
