Zhongtong Kinetic Energy, a Subsidiary of the Group, to Focus on Battery Swapping for New Energy Heavy Trucks and Fixed-route Transportation
Advancing Intelligent Dispatching, Energy Replenishment Management and Transportation Carbon Emission Data Management
HONG KONG, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EV Dynamics (Holdings) Limited (the "Company", stock code: 476.HK, together with its subsidiaries, the "Group") is exploring an expansion from the supply of new energy commercial vehicles into comprehensive green mobility services. Using battery swapping for new energy heavy trucks and fixed-route transportation as entry points, the Group will integrate artificial intelligence-powered dispatching, energy replenishment management and transportation carbon emission data management to progressively validate the "Transport as a Service" (TaaS) model.
Zhongtong Kinetic Energy (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd. ("Zhongtong Kinetic Energy"), the Group’s China operating headquarters platform and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Group, will start with actual transportation demand, prioritising the study of fixed routes, stable cargo sources and high-frequency transportation scenarios. It will progressively establish a closed-loop operating model covering vehicles, energy replenishment, dispatching and operational evaluation, with vehicle utilisation rate, energy consumption per unit of transportation, energy replenishment efficiency, transportation costs and service stability serving as the key validation indicators.
In terms of artificial intelligence applications, the Group intends to explore functions such as intelligent route scheduling, energy replenishment planning, and operational and maintenance alerts based on transportation orders, driving routes, vehicle energy consumption, battery status and battery swapping station utilisation. These functions are intended to reduce empty running and waiting time, and improve the utilisation efficiency of vehicles and energy replenishment facilities. The relevant technologies will be progressively tested and iterated in conjunction with actual application scenarios, rather than remaining at the level of a standalone conceptual demonstration.
This direction is in line with the policy trend towards the large-scale application of new energy heavy trucks. In June 2026, the Ministry of Transport and ten other departments publicly issued the Implementation Plan for Promoting the Large-scale Application of New Energy Heavy Trucks (《推動新能源重卡規模化應用實施方案》), which proposed that, by 2030, the penetration rate of new energy heavy trucks should reach 40%, with the number of new energy heavy trucks in operation exceeding 1.6 million units, 30,000 kilometres of zero-carbon road transportation corridors to be constructed, and approximately 3,000 heavy truck charging and battery swapping stations to be supported and guided for construction.
Industry penetration has also continued to increase. According to terminal actual sales data under the compulsory traffic accident liability insurance for motor vehicles cited by First Commercial Vehicle Network, 33,100 new energy heavy trucks were sold in Mainland China in September 2026, representing a year-on-year increase of 37%, with the monthly penetration rate reaching 50.28%. These figures exclude exports and military vehicles, while the cumulative penetration rate for the period from January to September 2026 was 38.10%.
Mr. Zeng Yan, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Ev Dynamics, said: "We hope to start with actual transportation scenarios, first establishing vehicle operations, energy replenishment efficiency and dispatching management for fixed routes, and subsequently validate the transport service-based charging model. The value of artificial intelligence does not lie in introducing another concept, but in helping to reduce empty running and waiting time, improve the utilisation rates of vehicles and energy replenishment facilities, and provide customers with more efficient and quantifiable green transportation services."
In terms of business models, the Group will explore an expansion from vehicle sales into battery swapping services, intelligent dispatching and mobility operations, and study transportation service arrangements charged by mileage or ton-kilometre, with a view to reducing customers’ initial capital investment and barriers to technology adoption, while seeking to progressively establish recurring revenue. The specific cooperation models will be determined according to route conditions, cargo source stability, energy replenishment requirements and project economic benefits.
In terms of carbon emission management, the Group intends to progressively establish the capabilities for digital recording, accounting and reporting of transportation mileage, energy consumption and emission reduction results, thereby providing data support for customers’ green supply chain management.
On 30 October 2026, the Group participated in the "The Oujiang Dialogue — AI Plus Integrated Innovation Development Forum" (「甌江論道——『人工智能+』融合創新發展論壇」) held in Wenzhou, Zhejiang Province, and entered into a strategic agreement with the International Academician Science and Technology Innovation Centre. Building on this agreement, both parties will explore the alignment of scientific research resources and industry-academia-research cooperation in the fields of artificial intelligence, new energy and intelligent connected vehicles. The Group also took this opportunity to exchange views with universities, research institutions and industry representatives on technology applications and the integration of technologies with practical application scenarios.
Regarding participation in the development of the Qidu Island Urban Intelligent Connected Vehicle Demonstration Zone, Mr. Zeng Yan proposed three directions: First, to prioritise the selection of actual fixed routes and establish an agile, iteratively upgradeable closed-loop operating model; Second, to explore joint operations and evaluation mechanisms with local partners, using operational efficiency, service safety and actual emission reduction results as the basis for evaluation; and Third, based on the validation of application scenarios in Mainland China, to explore opportunities to connect with Hong Kong’s resources in finance, professional services, standards and international markets.
Mr. Zeng Yan added: "Ev Dynamics hopes to become not merely a vehicle supplier, but also a participant in application scenarios and a co-builder of long-term operational mechanisms. The application scenarios and supply chain capabilities in Mainland China, combined with Hong Kong’s professional services and international connections, are expected to create favourable conditions for external cooperation in green mobility solutions."
Looking ahead, the Group will adopt Academician Chen Qingquan’s "Four Networks and Four Flows" theory as a methodological guide for its green mobility system, exploring the coordination of the energy network, transportation network, information network and humanity network, and promoting the integration of energy flow, information flow, material flow and value flow. The Group will also put these concepts into practice across specific aspects such as vehicle dispatching, energy replenishment management and transportation services. Through Zhongtong Kinetic Energy, the Group will steadily advance the validation of application scenarios involving battery swapping for new energy heavy trucks, intelligent logistics dispatching and green mobility operations, while exploring industry-academia-research cooperation in technologies such as autonomous driving for specific transportation scenarios, including "Xinjiang Coal Outbound Transport". The relevant businesses will be progressively advanced based on actual project progress and commercial feasibility.
