From Product Going Global to Ecosystem Going Global: C&C Trucks Lands New Overseas Operation Results at Hannover Show

　　Launches the Phoenix BEV pure electric heavy truck and Phoenix REEV range-extended heavy truck, two new models for the international market; showcases the integrated "vehicle, solar, storage, charging, and battery swap" solution; delivery of the first customer vehicle in the non-European transport corridor and strategic cooperation signing...。

　　"We brought two vehicles this time. They are not concept cars, but production vehicles that have already received volume orders." As Zhu Hong, Deputy General Manager of Chery Commercial Vehicle and General Manager of C&C Trucks Co., Ltd., said, at the 2026 Hannover Commercial Vehicle Show, C&C Trucks did not stop at "exhibiting"; instead, it appeared with a series of implementation results, taking a solid step from "solution release" to "real operation verification."

A Leap from "Product Going Global" to "Solution Going Global."

　　At present, competition in the domestic commercial vehicle market is fierce, and although NEW ENERGY heavy trucks are growing rapidly, their volume is still limited. At the same time, overseas demand for electrification is accelerating. Zhu Hong judged that global heavy truck electrification is an "inevitable and irreversible direction," especially in many overseas markets where energy replenishment infrastructure is not yet complete, the gap between oil prices and electricity prices continues to widen, and customer demand for electric heavy trucks is real and urgent.

　　For this reason, C&C Trucks' participation in the Hannover show is not a single vehicle display but a systematic implementation from strategy and products to ecosystem. In addition to vehicles, it also brought an integrated transport capacity solution of "vehicle, solar, storage, charging, and battery swap."

　　The core of this integrated transport capacity solution is to solve the pain point that overseas customers worry about most: "Can my route run stably?" Through a modular power combination formed by four linked battery packs on the tractor and trailer, as well as a mobile storage, charging, and swapping solution that does not rely on large-scale civil construction, C&C Trucks has turned energy replenishment facilities from fixed "heavy assets" into "light assets" that can be dynamically deployed along vehicle routes and cargo flows, greatly lowering the threshold for entering overseas markets and the risk of stranded assets.

　　The delivery of the first customer vehicle in the non-European transport corridor is the beginning of C&C Trucks handing its products and integrated solution over to market testing. Moreover, this delivery is not merely delivering a single vehicle; it is accompanied by simultaneous signing with partners. C&C Trucks joined hands with Gotion High-tech and Dianlala to take the complete vehicle, battery, battery swap, and mobile storage and charging overseas as an integrated solution, providing full lifecycle support for overseas users' transportation.

　　"Global competition has passed the stage of selling vehicles based on cost-effectiveness," Zhu Hong analyzed. "Only those who can provide a system solution with clear economics for different infrastructure conditions and different transport-distance scenarios are qualified to talk about global layout." C&C Trucks' choice of Hannover, this world-class stage, is not only a test of its products and technical capabilities against the most stringent market standards, but also a declaration of moving from "product going global" to "solution going global."

Dual-Track Approach Finding the Most Suitable "Answer" for the Scenario.

　　The choice of technology route is another major test for NEW ENERGY heavy trucks going global. While European brands generally focus on the battery electric route, C&C Trucks has proposed a dual-track strategy of "BEV + REEV."

　　The battery electric model "Phoenix BEV" is more suitable for resource transport scenarios with fixed routes, short and medium distances, and organizable energy replenishment; its advantages lie in fast energy replenishment and controllable energy consumption. The range-extended model "Phoenix REEV," on the other hand, targets cross-regional, medium- and long-distance routes where the energy replenishment network is not yet complete. Its combination of a 430 kWh battery plus a 110 kW range extender can achieve a range of over 1,300 km with full fuel and full charge, and supports three energy replenishment methods: charging, battery swapping, and refueling, providing customers with "range confidence."

　　Behind this strategy is a deep insight into infrastructure differences across global markets. In many overseas regions, the power grid and energy replenishment network are far less developed than in China. Customers will not pay for a mere technology route; what they really care about is fleet uptime, ton-kilometer cost, and operational certainty.

　　The essence of C&C Trucks is to return the right of choice to the scenario.

Long-Termism from "Entering" to "Taking Root."

　　Despite numerous challenges, C&C Trucks' determination to take NEW ENERGY overseas is beyond doubt. This confidence stems from China's leading advantage in the global NEW ENERGY vehicle industry chain, and also from its scenario-based adaptation capabilities honed in China's complex and diverse logistics scenarios.

　　At present, C&C Trucks' products have completed comprehensive verification in complex environments in the domestic market, gained recognition from the market and users, and sales have continued to rise. Its costs of the three core electric systems, supply chain response speed, and technology iteration capabilities have been comprehensively improved, laying a solid foundation for going global.

　　While deeply practicing Chery Group's globalization philosophy "In somewhere, For somewhere, Be somewhere," Zhu Hong emphasized, "Better to be a little slower, but every vehicle delivered overseas must truly run." This means C&C Trucks will not simply copy its China-market playbook to overseas markets. Instead, it will deeply adapt to regulatory standards in the EU and other places and local logistics scenarios, and work with local partners to jointly build R&D, production, and service systems.

　　The bustle of the Hannover show will eventually fade, but for C&C Trucks, this is precisely the beginning of a brand-new chapter. From releasing the integrated transport capacity solution to completing the delivery of its first overseas customer vehicle, C&C Trucks is participating in competition in the global heavy truck market with a more steady and pragmatic posture.
