Trucks: the next front
Heavy trucks are becoming the 'next battlefield' of electrification. On 29 May 2026 eleven ministries issued the new-energy heavy-truck scale-up plan: 40% penetration and 1.6 million trucks by 2030, about 3,000 truck swap/charge stations, and 30,000 km of zero-carbon freight corridors along the national expressway '5 spokes, 4 vertical, 5 horizontal' key sections. From mines and ports to trunk logistics, e-truck refuelling is moving from 'closed scenes' to 'open ones'.
Local action is live
Locals have moved. Shandong plans 155 high-power demo stations in 2026–27—48 at 24 highway service areas plus 107 on arterials—forming 'four-vertical-two-horizontal' and 'four-vertical-three-horizontal' green corridors across 16 cities, 6,600+ km; Shandong's e-truck fleet already 20.2k, +10k in 2025 alone, +190% YoY. Huawei Digital Power built 20+ MW super-charge corridors (Qingdao-Linyi, Mianyang-Chengdu); Huizhou-Wuhan 1,046 km in ~13h20m with trucks topping 90% in 17–18 min, ~¥1k fuel saved per trip.
A Yantai logistics chance
For a port and logistics city like Yantai, e-trucking is a near-term chance. Dongdian Huichong leads on community and passenger charging but watches port, industrial-park and corridor-node truck refuelling; whether public stalls or future truck super-chargers, compliance, safety and dispatchability are the same underlying capability—building the doorstep network solid lays the base for the city's green transport.
