NEW YORK, June 22, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The transition from gasoline to electric vehicles is accelerating. Major automakers are increasingly betting that millions of new electric cars and trucks over the next decade will be on the roads. For example, last week, General Motors announced that it will increase its EV and AV investments from 2020 through 2025 to USD 35 Billion. “We are investing aggressively in a comprehensive and highly-integrated plan to make sure that GM leads in all aspects of the transformation to a more sustainable future,” said GM Chair and CEO Mary Barra. Additionally, GM is targeting annual global EV sales of more than 1 million by 2025. This transition goes far beyond electric vehicles however, as more and more industries are looking to emulate the automobile industry when it comes to electrification. Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: GTEC), Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE: CAT), Deere & Company (NYSE: DE), NIO Inc. (NYSE: NIO), XPeng Inc. (NYSE: XPEV).
For example, battery-electric adoption could offer sizable potential in heavy machinery, which is specially designed for executing construction works such as earthwork operations or other large construction tasks. According to a report by McKinsey, there is a very limited share of battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) in the space of heavy machinery and equipment, even though electric propulsion (with cable) is not uncommon in some equipment. However, both operators and OEMs have started to invest in battery-electric solutions, with first commercial solutions starting to emerge in the market. Recent, substantial advancements in battery performance and cost, global and local environmental concerns, and better and more available charging technologies have also contributed to the shift.
Greenland Technologies Holding Corporation (NASDAQ: GTEC) announced yesterday breaking news regarding, “a major strategic partnership with Shandong Zhongcha Heavy Industry Machinery Co. (‘Shandong‘)”, a multinational heavy machinery and automotive manufacturing company.
The partnership is structured to accomplish two strategic objectives to drive revenue generation and to enhance leadership position as a first mover. First, the companies are joining forces to launch a lithium battery forklift, which utilizes Greenland’s new integrated drivetrain system that will be available for sale in the U.S. by Greenland starting in July 2021. Second, the two strategic partners will combine R&D resources to develop the next stage of lithium powered forklifts to ensure they remain positioned for market leadership over the longer term.
Headquartered in Jinan, Shandong, China, Shandong Zhongcha Heavy Industry Machinery Co. was founded in 2009 through a merger between Weichai Holding Group, Shandong Construction Machinery Group, and Shandong Auto Industrial Group. Shandong Heavy Industry has five principal operating subsidiaries: Weichai Holding Group Co., Ltd. (the parent company of Weichai Power), Shantui Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., Shantui Machinery Co., Ltd., Shanzhong Construction Machinery Co., Ltd., and Shandong Auto Industry Group Co., Ltd., Shazhonng Construction Machinery.
Raymond Wang, CEO of Greenland, commented, “This is another major development for our business, as we align with a powerful, well-funded strategic partner with extensive experience and customer relationships in our target markets. We have already spoken with numerous customers with very positive feedback for a lithium battery forklift solution. Importantly, we are confident we can bring our jointly-developed lithium battery powered forklift to market at a price point competitive with legacy acid battery powered vehicles. The competitive price point combined with the fact our vehicle is a safer, cleaner vehicle with a higher customer return on investment than traditional forklifts, gives us a winning market position with high-volume potential. We look forward to working together with Shandong, as we build a mutually successful, long-term partnership.”
