XCMG has taken the lead in heavy truck battery swapping technology. They are now enjoying 21% market share for all electric trucks in China, with over 10,000 units delivered in 2021.

Introducing XCMG’s relocatable battery swapping station. Just tow it to any suitable site, plug it in, and swap some batteries.
Or, charge the batteries where a good power source is available, and tow it to where the trucks are working.

Also much larger emphasis on renewable energy in manufacture.
