“Heavy trucks are central to the freight and industry sectors, and China’s market scale makes this transition globally significant. With 22% of new heavy trucks sold in China in H1 2025 already electric, analysts warn that oil demand projections must adjust to account for this accelerating trend.”

New battery technology makes long trips possible
In April 2025, CATL unveiled the Freevoy Dual-Power Battery and Naxtra sodium-ion system, alongside the second-generation Shenxing superfast-charging battery. These packs enable heavy trucks to travel 400–500 km per charge, equipped with advanced cooling systems for enhanced safety.
CATL also introduced a standardized 75 kWh battery swap pack for heavy trucks in May 2025, allowing for rapid replacement and reducing downtime. SAE technical papers confirm that improved thermal management is critical for safe operation under heavy loads.
