CATL's only investment target in electric heavy-duty trucks
Four-year-old electric heavy-truck manufacturer with full-stack in-house development — vehicle, e-axle, thermal management, drive-by-wire chassis and end-to-end autonomous driving — delivering more than 1,000 trucks a year and filed for a Hong Kong listing in May 2026.
ZERON builds new-energy heavy trucks as the vehicle entry point for future 'road transport robots'. In four years it has closed the loop from ground-up vehicle design, through its own e-axle and thermal-management systems and drive-by-wire chassis, to an end-to-end multimodal driving model and a nationwide sales and service network. 2025 revenue rose 320.8 percent to 522 million renminbi; deliveries in the first four months of 2026 reached 778 trucks, up 334.6 percent. CATL holds 11.51 percent and is the company's largest external shareholder; ZERON is CATL's only investment target in electric heavy-duty trucks.
Ground-up designed battery-electric heavy trucks with the most highly integrated mass-produced e-axle among new entrants; 15 percent lower combined energy use than competing vehicles at rated load.
In-house electric drive axle and thermal management, available as the core of the vehicle platform.
Heavy-truck end-to-end multimodal model; ranked first among pure-vision entries in the CVPR 2024 large-scale end-to-end driving challenge. Targets L4 trunk-line logistics.
Monitors more than 4,000 vehicle signals across the full vehicle lifecycle and feeds real-world road data back into vehicle iteration, algorithm training and simulation.
