China's New Energy Heavy Truck Monthly Penetration Rate Exceeds 50%, Accounting for the Majority of New Vehicle Sales in October
IT Home, November 15 news: According to a report by China National Radio of China Media Group, the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers recently released data showing that in October, the monthly penetration rate of new energy heavy trucks in China exceeded 50%, with new energy models accounting for the majority of new heavy truck sales that month.
The "Implementation Plan for Promoting the Scaled Application of New Energy Heavy Trucks" issued this year specifies that by 2030, 30,000 kilometers of zero-carbon road transport corridors will be built around key sections of the national expressway network's "5 rays, 4 verticals, 5 horizontals," and support for all-scenario application of new energy heavy trucks will be increased. At present, the policy blueprint is being accelerated into reality. Recently, multiple localities have issued documents to deploy zero-carbon transport corridor construction and guide new energy heavy trucks to expand from short-distance transport to medium- and long-distance trunk lines.

According to IT Home's inquiry, the Plan proposes that by 2030, the penetration rate of new energy heavy trucks reach 40%, with ownership exceeding 1.6 million units and accounting for about 20%; the electrification rate of fixed-route short-haul shuttle transport in regions such as the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region and the Fenwei Plain exceed 80%; electric heavy truck refueling facilities be built in conjunction with the expressway network to create zero-carbon road transport corridors, support and guide the construction of about 3,000 heavy truck battery charging and swapping stations, and guide the scientific layout of hydrogen refueling stations and green fuel refueling stations in key scenarios; the share of freight volume carried by new energy heavy trucks on expressways reach 18%; and a system of infrastructure, technical equipment, supporting services, standards and specifications, and policy guarantees adapted to the scaled application of new energy heavy trucks be established, forming a promotion mechanism with multi-department coordination and multi-entity linkage.
Accelerate the construction of zero-carbon road transport corridors. Build 30,000 kilometers of zero-carbon road transport corridors around key sections of the national expressway network's "5 rays, 4 verticals, 5 horizontals." The 5 rays include the G1 Beijing-Harbin, G2 Beijing-Shanghai, G3 Beijing-Taipei, G4 Beijing-Hong Kong-Macao, and G5 Beijing-Kunming expressways; the 4 verticals include the G15 Shenyang-Haikou, G25 Changchun-Shenzhen, G45 Daqing-Guangzhou, and G65 Baotou-Maoming expressways; and the 5 horizontals include the G20 Qingdao-Yinchuan, G30 Lianyungang-Khorgas, G42 Shanghai-Chengdu, G60 Shanghai-Kunming, and G80 Guangzhou-Kunming expressways.
Accelerate the construction of battery charging and swapping facilities in expressway service areas. Orderly expand the coverage of electric heavy truck battery charging and swapping facilities on busy freight sections of expressways, strengthen the effective connection of cross-regional battery charging and swapping facilities, and meet the refueling needs of medium- and long-distance transport. Newly built (reconstructed) expressway service areas should simultaneously build heavy truck battery charging and swapping facilities or reserve conditions for construction and installation; completed expressway service areas should accelerate the construction and renovation of heavy truck charging facilities, gradually increase the number of heavy truck charging parking spaces, and build heavy truck battery swapping facilities according to actual needs and local conditions.
