Liu Dawei, the President of Huawei Digital Energy’s Intelligent Charging Network Global Business, spoke at the 2025 China Electric Vehicle Hundred Person Forum held from March 28 to 30, 2025, in Beijing. His presentation focused on the sustainable development of commercial vehicles and was titled “Developing an Ultra-Fast Charging Industrial Ecosystem to Promote New Productive Forces in Commercial Vehicles.”
As the energy transition accelerates under the guidance of the “Dual Carbon” strategy, the electrification of commercial vehicles, which significantly contribute to carbon emissions in the transportation industry, is advancing rapidly. In the past two years, national ministries have issued multiple joint documents to expedite the low-carbon transition of commercial vehicles. Meanwhile, countries and regions overseas, particularly in Europe, have shifted their focus to megawatt-level charging for heavy trucks. The use of ultra-fast charging as a new productive force in charging infrastructure has been rapidly commercialized, with the overall lifecycle cost proving to be more economically viable than battery swapping technology. This consensus has opened up vast prospects for the continued development of the new energy commercial vehicle industry.
To achieve an efficient commercial closed-loop, collaboration from multiple parties is essential in the development of new energy commercial vehicles. This collaboration will enhance the international competitiveness of China’s new energy vehicles and charging facilities. It is important to advocate for relevant departments to consider the unique attributes of new energy commercial vehicle batteries, such as their costs, in order to support optimal market development directions. Additionally, the current limitations on electricity and land resources in certain scenarios are temporarily hindering the electrification of commercial vehicles. There is a need to prioritize the electricity capacity requirements of megawatt-level heavy truck charging stations and clearly define the land usage for these stations to effectively separate them from regular charging stations, ensuring efficient and safe operations.
Huawei’s ultra-fast charging technology has been widely adopted globally, supporting a variety of vehicle models while offering smooth upgrades and reduced retrofitting costs. With a maximum output power of 720 kW from a fully liquid-cooled main unit and terminal, this technology enables various functionalities such as dual-gun simultaneous charging, dual ultra-fast charging, and dual megawatt charging for heavy truck applications. As we approach the era of megawatt ultra-fast charging, Huawei will continue to innovate and upgrade its technology towards higher power outputs, with new megawatt ultra-fast charging products set to be released soon.
Huawei’s ultra-fast charging solutions are not only popular among owners of passenger vehicles but are also reliably implemented across various commercial vehicle scenarios, including mines, ports, and logistics corridors nationwide, gaining customer acclaim. Liu Dawei emphasized the importance of accelerating the development of mid to long-distance transportation scenarios represented by “Jiangmei Outsourcing” to establish megawatt ultra-fast charging logistics corridors throughout the country. By collaborating with automotive manufacturers, battery suppliers, electricity grids, and more industry partners, Huawei aims to continuously innovate technologies, shorten R&D cycles, and swiftly introduce new technologies and products that cater to the development of new energy commercial vehicles. This open, cooperative, and win-win approach will help create an ultra-fast charging ecosystem for commercial vehicles, welcoming a golden period of rapid growth for new energy heavy trucks, ensuring high-quality charging wherever there are roads.
