News is a few months old, but in light of the record Windrose broke in Australia: the Chinese start-up moved headquarters to Antwerp for the sale of its electric trucks. Yes, they look like Tesla semis because that's the best aerodynamic shape. These ones are actually on the market and usable.
So let's hope to see many more of those everywhere soon.

If you haven't heard of Windrose: it's the company delivering trucks for the company New Energy Transport in Australia. They just set a record on a 460km haul using these electric freight trucks. We could've had these things if we'd invested in the research instead of saying "it was too soon", "that's not realistic" and "moving too fast is bad for the economy." Well, as a result of that, the new world will be largely chinese. https://thedriven.io/2026/03/30/faster-and-a-lot-cheaper-australias-first-all-electric-inter-city-delivery-flags-new-era-in-road-freight/
