Windrose Technology is a Chinese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer specializing in zero-emission heavy-duty trucks. Founded in China, the company is known for its global expansion strategy, particularly into the United States and Europe. Windrose Technology was founded in 2022 by Wen Han, who serves as the company's Chairman and CEO.
Windrose Technology was founded for developing electric heavy-duty trucks, including Class 8 models designed for long-haul freight. In 2023, the company secured $110 million in funding to support vehicle development and expansion into international markets.
In late 2023, Windrose revealed plans to list on a U.S. stock exchange. In October 2024, the company reportedly doubled its IPO fundraising goal with growing investor interest. In July 2024, it announced plans to establish a truck assembly plant in Georgia, marking a rare move by a Chinese EV manufacturer to produce vehicles in the U.S. The company is also exploring production capabilities in Europe, including potential operations in Flanders, Belgium, although the Flemish government declined to invest in the proposed factory in Antwerp. In 2024, Windrose also partnered with industrial real estate company Goodman Group to develop electric vehicle fast-charging infrastructure for heavy-duty trucks in Europe, furthering its logistics capabilities.
