Windrose’ Class 8 sleeper truck features 420 miles of range on a single charge.
Windrose Technology has officially launched the first-ever all-electric long-haul sleeper truck in the United States, the company said.
Windrose is a global electric vehicle manufacturer active on four continents.
According to the OEM, the new truck is designed for real-world logistics. It features a 420-mile range and is now set for commercial deployment in the United States.
Partnership with JoyRide Logistics
Windrose said the launch of the new truck is being carried out in partnership with JoyRide Logistics.
Joyride is a Phoenix, Arizona-based carrier. The fleet claims to be the first U.S. regional trucking company to operate fully electric sleeper trucks.
All of the Windrose trucks operated by JoyRide will be powered by EO Charging.
EO is a developer of electric charging (EV) solutions for mission critical depot-based fleets.
The initial rollout begins in Arizona, California and Nevada, with nationwide expansion in sight.
“This isn’t just a prototype or promise-this is a fully operational, long-range electric truck that’s ready to haul freight today,” said Wen Han, founder, chairman, and CEO of Windrose. “We’ve validated our technology globally and are proud to bring it to the U.S.-one of the most important logistics markets in the world.”
A Long-Haul EV Sleeper Truck
Windrose noted that its trucks have undergone extensive real-world testing across Asia, Europe, Oceania, and North America.
JoyRide Logistics is rolling out Windrose electric trucks on long-haul routes in the Southwestern United States.
In a recent U.S. field test, the Windrose sleeper completed a 2,800-mile cross-country trip using only public charging stations.
Windrose also completed a 3,000-plus mile loaded trip shipping clothing from the Hong Kong area to the China-Kazakhstan border. The OEM called this run a clear demonstration of its range, reliability, and charging compatibility.
The new truck is designed for full-length hauls with 420 miles of range.
The Windrose electric sleeper includes a comfortable bunk area, fast-charging capabilities (MCS & CCS), and over 700kWh of battery offering with both LFP and NMC battery types. The truck maintains Class 8 performance standards and weighs under 26,000 lbs., according to the OEM.
Driving the Shift in Regional Freight
JoyRide Logistics is an expanding regional carrier with a fleet of over 250 trucks operating in six states.
The fleet is leading the adoption of electric long-haul trucks in the U.S., according to Windrose.
“Partnering with Windrose allows us to stay ahead-not just on sustainability, but on total operational performance,” said Adis Danan, President at JoyRide Logistics. “We’re talking fuel savings, reduced maintenance, and a future-ready fleet that our customers can get behind. We want to make electric logistics efficient, scalable-and cool.”
Danan said JoyRide already partners with multiple Fortune 500 customers, many of whom are actively working to reduce Scope 3 emissions.
The integration of EV’s into their fleet is a direct response to those sustainability benchmarks.
Powering the rollout is EO Charging.
The company’s approach leverages real-estate acquisition, charging infrastructure deployment and vehicle financing. EO also maintains a more-than-99% uptime promise, to help deliver a cost-competitive service for shippers.
“Together, Windrose, JoyRide and EO Charging are making electrified long-haul freight a reality-not years from now, but today,” said Charlie Jardine, president and founder at EO Charging. “We’re proud to support this shift with innovative infrastructure solutions designed to optimize costs and help customers reach diesel parity.”
Pioneering A Defining Moment for American Trucking
With or without regulation, the shift toward electrification is being led by forward-thinking companies, Windrose said.
The new Windrose electric sleeper truck recently completed a 2,800 mile cross-country trip in the U.S. using only public charging stations.
According to the OEM, it, along with JoyRide, and EO Charging are proving that zero-emission trucking can meet performance, efficiency, and customer-driven sustainability goals now-not someday.
With the 420-mile all-electric sleeper truck already in operation, Windrose said it now stands as both a global innovator and a practical solution provider for the future of freight.
