What does the future of green transport look like? At the 72nd IAA Transportation in Hanover, Germany, Shandong Heavy Industry Group (SDHI) is answering that question with a full-chain display of powertrains, axles and vehicles.

Bringing together Sinotruk, Weichai Power, and Hande Axle, SDHI is presenting integrated solutions for global logistics operators. Sinotruk is highlighting its wind–solar–storage–charging–swapping station and CTP battery system. The smart microgrid station integrates renewable energy and supports both grid-connected and off-grid operations. It has been deployed in 102 stations across 18 Chinese provinces and 33 overseas countries and regions. Sinotruk's CTP batteries, available in 400, 600 and 800-kilowatt-hour platforms, can charge from 20 percent to 80 percent in 23 minutes.
