The Windrose R700 battery-electric Class 8 semi-truck has achieved homologation in the US, the EU and China. Homologation, the process of ensuring that new vehicles meet environmental, safety and technical standards, is required before vehicles can be sold in a particular market.
“US homologation was achieved at the end of 2025,” Windrose CEO Wen Han told Clean Trucking. “We’re accepting reservations now. Delivery has already started in California and will extend along the I-10 corridor.”
The R700 features a 729 kWh battery pack and an 800 V high-voltage system that supports megawatt-level dual-inlet charging. Fully loaded, it boasts 420 miles of range at a gross weight of 98,000 lbs. The starting price is expected to be around $250,000.
Windrose, founded in 2022, operates a production facility in Belgium for European deliveries, and plans to expand in France and the US (likely California) in the near future. Major components such as the chassis, e-axles, batteries and suspension are expected to be manufactured in China.
Windrose is currently accepting US reservations with a $15,000 deposit per truck.
