Shandong Heavy Industry Group made a major appearance with its new energy portfolio, drawing global industry attention with exhibits including five vehicle models such as SINOTRUK"s next-generation SITRAK 4×2 electric tractor, Weichai Power"s customized cell-to-body (CTB) battery, and Hande Axle"s latest drive axles. Wang Zhijian, Chairman of Shandong Heavy Industry Group, led the exhibition delegation and attended the new product launch event.

SITRAK Electric Heavy Truck Debuts

Earning Broad Global Industry Acclaim

On the opening day of the exhibition, SINOTRUK showcased five commercial vehicle models. Among them, the next-generation SITRAK 4×2 electric tractor stood out as a marquee highlight of the show.

Engineered for the global decarbonization of trunkline logistics, the model targets core medium- and long-haul transport scenarios, tackling key electrification challenges such as range anxiety, energy consumption, and operational adaptability. Numerous international clients examined the vehicle firsthand, praising its extended range, low energy consumption, and rapid charging capabilities, while recognizing SINOTRUK"s pioneering innovation in battery-electric trunkline heavy trucks.

Weichai Unveils Three Flagship Innovations

Pioneering New Pathways in Green Power

As the Group"s core powertrain division, Weichai Power launched three breakthrough products at the event: premium natural gas engines, a hydrogen internal combustion engine hybrid powertrain, and a next-generation under-chassis battery system for heavy-duty trucks—showcasing its comprehensive low- to zero-carbon technological portfolio and cutting-edge engineering prowess. During the exhibition, Weichai joined industry partners to launch the "Co-Creating a New Ecosystem for Green Intelligent Equipment: European Zero-Carbon Action Initiative," joining hands with global peers to foster a zero-carbon industrial ecosystem.

NG4.0 Pro Natural Gas Powertrain

Tailored for the European market, Weichai debuted four NG4.0 Pro natural gas engines—13L, 14L, 15L, and 16L—covering comprehensive scenarios across combined transport and trunkline logistics, reaffirming its leadership and innovation in natural gas powertrains.

WPH15DI Hydrogen ICE Hybrid Powertrain

Featuring a P2 parallel hybrid architecture, the new WPH15DI hydrogen ICE hybrid powertrain achieves deep hydrogen-electric synergy, effectively overcoming traditional hydrogen powertrain drawbacks of high energy consumption and limited stability, thereby charting a new zero-carbon path for heavy commercial vehicles and construction machinery.

Next-Generation EM300 Under-Chassis Battery

With capacity spanning 600 to 800 kWh and a charging current of 1,200 A, the new EM300 under-chassis battery provides four hours of operating range on a 20-minute charge, offering an ideal solution for long-haul trunkline logistics and completing the final puzzle piece for battery-electric heavy truck applications.

Hande Axle Takes Center Stage

Solidifying the Foundation of Drivetrain Systems

Leveraging 17 years of R&D and manufacturing expertise in electric drive axles, Hande Axle demonstrated its mastery of core drivetrain technologies for new energy heavy trucks, presenting its latest drive axle that integrates high load capacity, high efficiency, and high power into a compact design.

The product seamlessly coordinates with vehicle control and battery systems, reducing transmission energy loss and extending driving range while ensuring structural reliability under extreme heavy-duty conditions. This provides a mature, mass-production-ready integrated drivetrain solution for commercialized new energy trunkline trucks, strengthening Shandong Heavy Industry"s foundational powertrain capabilities.

Full-Chain Synergy Drives Breakthroughs

Demonstrating the Global Strength of Chinese Intelligent Manufacturing

At IAA Transportation in Hannover, Shandong Heavy Industry showcased its full-chain innovation and competitive edge through a comprehensive new energy lineup spanning complete vehicles, powertrain systems, and electric drive axles. Leveraging the global stage of Hannover, the Group captivated international clients with its new energy achievements, elevating its global brand presence. Shandong Heavy Industry will continue advancing its integrated global strategy encompassing technology, solutions, and services, driving the green transformation of global logistics with world-class Chinese intelligent manufacturing solutions.
