Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group, a Chinese manufacturer specializing in electric commercial vehicles, has marked its tenth anniversary by rolling off its 600,000th production unit at its Ma'anshan plant. This is a Homtruck heavy-duty electric tractor that is calibrated to meet European Union regulatory standards and tailored for local fleet operations. The announcement is significant as it makes Farizon New Energy Commercial Vehicle Group the first new-energy commercial vehicle producer globally to achieve this cumulative production volume.
The Homtruck heavy-duty electric tractor features a 600-kilowatt-hour battery pack that provides a driving range of 500 kilometres on a single charge, dual fast-charging ports to reduce downtime, and a B10 service life of 1.5 million kilometres, which together are intended to enhance operational efficiency, lower running costs, and improve safety for long-haul logistics companies.
