Windrose and Xos Partner to Deliver Game-Changing Charging Access for Class 8 Electric Fleets
LOS ANGELES, Sept. 04, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Windrose, manufacturer of one of the lightest and longest-range electric Class 8 trucks in the world, is partnering with Xos (NASDAQ:XOS), a leading provider of mobile charging solutions, to bring powerful, scalable charging to fleet operators across the United States and international markets.
Windrose's Class 8 electric truck is engineered from the ground up for global deployment across 6 markets: North America, Europe, South America, Oceania, Asia, and the Middle East. With up to 420 miles of loaded range, Windrose is setting a new benchmark in the industry with its lightweight chassis, high-efficiency drivetrain, and exceptional range.
Now, through this strategic partnership with Xos, Windrose fleet customers will gain access to the newest generation of the Xos Hub, a mobile charging solution that enables fleets to scale fast without waiting for traditional infrastructure.
The latest version of the Xos Hub features a 630 kilowatt-hour onboard battery and integrated DC fast chargers capable of delivering up to 150 kilowatts per port, or 300 kilowatts when operating in series. This ultra-flexible, off-grid solution is enabling true dual-shift operations for the first time. Drivers can return mid-day, recharge their trucks quickly, and get back on the road for a second full shift.
"Together with Windrose, we're removing the single biggest barrier to fleet electrification: infrastructure delays. This partnership enables large fleets to get trucks on the road and charging in a matter of days, not years," said Dakota Semler, CEO of Xos.
The Xos Hub is already proving itself as a game-changing alternative to fixed DC fast chargers. Without the need for trenching, switchgear, permits, or utility interconnection, the Hub can be deployed in a matter of hours. It's already in use across North America, helping major fleets scale faster, reduce capital expenses, and avoid the high operating costs associated with traditional infrastructure. With energy storage built in, fleets can also reduce peak demand charges and operate more predictably.
"At Windrose, we are building the most advanced Class 8 electric trucks in the market. But technology alone isn't enough," said Wen Han, founder, chairman CEO of Windrose Technology. "Charging access is critical. Xos brings the hardware and logistics to ensure our customers can operate at full scale on day one. We will start deployment in the United States and expand to our other markets including Canada, Mexico, Australia, ."
This partnership introduces a turnkey ecosystem for electrified freight that fleets can count on. The combination of Windrose's globally scalable truck platform and Xos's cutting-edge mobile charging infrastructure is helping accelerate zero-emission freight adoption at an unprecedented pace.
