XCMG Presents the Hanjing: A Leap Forward in Heavy Truck Technology

On September 20, 2026, XCMG, a prominent global manufacturer of construction machinery, launched the Hanjing, a revolutionary heavy truck designed for long-distance freight transport. This state-of-the-art vehicle utilizes alternative energy sources, which addresses the pressing needs of logistics operators in terms of operational efficiency, long-range capability, fast recharge time, and uptime.

The journey of creating the Hanjing began back in 2023 when XCMG's engineers visited major freight transport centers and collaborated with leading logistics companies to gather insights on key requirements. Their focus was on achieving an optimal electric propulsion system, centralized thermal management, torque distribution, and regenerative braking to ensure robust performance in real-world conditions.

Innovative Design and Features

The Hanjing features a streamlined aerodynamic cabin, a custom-designed integrated electric drive axle, and intelligent controls aimed at minimizing energy consumption. Its advanced 800-volt architecture supports megawatt-class rapid recharging, allowing drivers to recharge the battery from 20% to 80% in under 20 minutes—an exceptional advantage for long-haul logistics.

Additionally, the vehicle's body is constructed from hot-stamped steel boasting 1,500 MPa tensile strength, fitted with multiple thermal protection systems for enhanced vehicle and battery safety. A central domain controller, highway navigation assist, and a digital cabin ensure that drivers can operate efficiently and safely across long distances.

Before its grand unveiling, the Hanjing underwent rigorous testing in extreme temperatures, high altitudes, and simulated collision situations. It successfully completed a 24-hour endurance test at the Yancheng test track, covering 2,198 kilometers with a gross vehicle weight of 49 tons, showcasing its capability under demanding long-haul and heavy-load operational conditions.

Comprehensive Support Infrastructure

In addition to the Hanjing, XCMG offers a comprehensive support system that includes charging infrastructure, connected fleet management, and lifecycle services. This holistic approach facilitates operators in managing their vehicles, recharges, and day-to-day operations efficiently. The connected vehicle platform allows fleet managers to monitor vehicle status and energy consumption, optimizing vehicle selection and recharge schedules based on route planning.

From January to July 2026, XCMG led the market in China for both new energy heavy trucks and tractors, cementing its position as the top seller for three consecutive years. The trucks are not only popular domestically but have also found markets in countries like Indonesia, Thailand, and several African nations. A major Indonesian mining client recently expanded its fleet by ordering 100 additional vehicles after previously acquiring over 150 new energy dump trucks with a 600 kWh battery and 8×4 configuration.

Prior to its official launch, XCMG also showcased its innovative new energy commercial vehicles and transportation solutions tailored for construction and logistics at the 2026 IAA Transportation expo held in Hannover, Germany. Looking ahead, XCMG plans to further adapt its products to meet local regulations, road conditions, and operational practices, broadening the applications of its heavy new energy trucks beyond fixed routes and short-haul operations.

With the introduction of the Hanjing, XCMG is positioning itself at the forefront of the new energy heavy truck market, championing sustainability while meeting the evolving needs of the transportation industry.
