The Japan Times - CEVA Joins Windrose To Test Long-Haul EV Trucking in China

Under this partnership, CEVA and Windrose have successfully conducted trials of long-haul electric trucking, including a round-trip journey from Greater Bay Area in Guangdong to Pingxiang, Guangxi, at the China-Vietnam border, and a 5,000-kilometer journey from Shenzhen to Alashankou, at the China-Kazakhstan border.

These pilot runs resulted in a remarkable carbon emissions reduction of approximately 55% on average (WTW) per GLEC framework. Based on these successes, CEVA and Windrose will continue to conduct trial runs within China to further explore the feasibility, cost-effectiveness and operational efficiency of using EVs across various routes and operational scenarios. As part of its strategic plan, CEVA aspires to connect Southeast Asia, Central Asia and even Europe through a TIR network.

Aligned with the CMA CGM Group's target of achieving net-zero carbon emissions by 2050, CEVA is committed to expanding its fleet of low-carbon vehicles. CEVA aims to reach 1,450 low-carbon vehicles in its ground operations by 2025 and over 650 battery-electric trucks in service globally. In this regard, CEVA will continue to innovate and invest in sustainable logistics solutions, further solidifying its position as a leader in sustainable logistics.

"CEVA is committed to leading the way in sustainable ground transport," said Antonio Pacciolla, vice president of Ground & Rail, APAC and IMECA. "We embrace innovative technologies to enhance our logistics solutions, delivering low carbon transport services to our clients while reducing our carbon footprint. That's how we imagine better ways to serve a world in motion."

"We are excited to collaborate with CEVA, a leader in the logistics industry known for its innovative and forward-thinking approach," said Wen Han, Founder, Chairman and CEO of Windrose. "Both parties are committed to sustainability and innovation. This partnership will enable us to better serve the markets and shippers with low carbon transport, while setting new benchmarks for sustainable logistics."
