[First Commercial Vehicle Network Original]

On September 15, the 2026 Hannover International Transportation Fair (IAA Transportation) is about to open. As a biennial global commercial vehicle grand event, this auto show is not only a stage for showcasing the latest global technology, but also a platform for commercial vehicle brands from various countries to exchange technology and improve skills.

The First Commercial Vehicle Network has recently learned that on the stage of this Hannover Auto Show, XCMG New Energy Heavy-Duty Truck, the Chinese sales champion, will make a major debut, demonstrating the hardcore strength and leading posture of "Chinese Smart Manufacturing" in the field of new energy commercial vehicles to the world.

Backed by the strength of the sales champion: From "Number One in China" to the World Stage

It is reported that the product XCMG Automobile will showcase at the Hannover Trade Fair this time is an electric heavy truck jointly developed for the European market and German local enterprises. It possesses core technologies in electric drive power, frame load-bearing, battery and thermal management, braking safety, and European compliance adaptation. For example, the high-efficiency electric drive transmission system, the permanent magnet drive motor has a peak power of 405 kW, the energy conversion efficiency reaches up to 98%, and supports multi-gear energy recovery; the double-layer reinforced riveted welded frame has a 280mm high beam, adopting an 8+5mm double-layer steel plate composite structure; the chassis adopts a side-hanging battery layout, with the battery pack arranged on both sides of the frame, not encroaching on the upper installation space; standard EBS+ESC+AEBS, meeting European ECE braking regulations; the vehicle electrical architecture meets the EU E-MARK certification, adapting vehicle voltage and communication protocols to the European parts system, etc.

Going global from "Chinese Smart Manufacturing", XCMG Automobile represents the journey of Chinese heavy trucks from technology following to new energy heavy truck standard leadership, and market data is the most powerful proof.

Looking at the data from 2025, XCMG New Energy Heavy Trucks achieved impressive results with a cumulative annual sales of 35,400 vehicles (Compulsory Traffic Insurance scope, same below), a year-on-year surge of 147%, and a market share of 15.3%, consecutively ranking as the industry sales champion for three consecutive years. Entering 2026, XCMG's momentum remains strong. From January to July, the cumulative sales of new energy heavy trucks reached 27,000 vehicles, with a market share of 16.2%, firmly sitting in the number one position. In July, XCMG New Energy Heavy-Duty Truck took the absolute lead in monthly sales with 5,342 vehicles, an 87% year-on-year growth, and strongly won the monthly list champion.

It is reported that in this exhibition, XCMG focused on the mainline logistics scenario to create the all-new generation of new energy heavy trucks, which will provide a comprehensive interpretation to European customers during the exhibition, opening a new realm for leading the industry into the mainline scenario.

This time landing at the Hannover Trade Fair, what XCMG brought is not just products, but the confident answer sheet of Chinese new energy heavy truck complete set equipment solutions. From the dense traffic of Tangshan Steel Plant to the precise loading and unloading of Shenzhen Yantian Port, from the transportation of southwest sand and gravel materials to Hainan Port Logistics, XCMG New Energy Heavy-Duty Trucks have been tempered in various application scenarios, and various products are becoming increasingly mature.

While continuing to lead the domestic market, XCMG has long turned its gaze to the globe. On the international stage, the figure of XCMG New Energy Heavy-Duty Truck appears frequently. Since the beginning of this year, XCMG New Energy Heavy-Duty Trucks have been sold to Africa, Indonesia, Thailand, Guinea and other countries and regions. Among them, a certain leading mining customer in Indonesia, after purchasing more than 150 units of 600 kWh 8x4 electric dump trucks in the previous stage, again ordered 100 vehicles, refreshing the record of a single order purchase of heavy trucks with large battery capacity in the overseas market. In addition, at the Tanzania Saba International Trade Fair, the 2026 Indonesia International Coal and Energy Industry Expo, and Agrishow, the largest agricultural technology gathering in Latin America, wherever they went, the technical advantages of XCMG New Energy Commercial Vehicles have attracted close attention from local practitioners.

Hard-core technology casts champion foundation: XCMG's systematic competitiveness

A champion is not made in a day. XCMG Automobile's leading position in the field of new energy heavy trucks stems from more than a decade of deep cultivation and accumulation of core technologies. As early as ten years ago, XCMG Automobile was the first in the industry to fully shift to new energy, laying a solid foundation for its subsequent rise in the new energy field.

Today, this forward-looking layout has borne fruit. In terms of the R&D system, XCMG Automobile has a provincial-level enterprise technology center and a new energy commercial vehicle innovation center, leading and participating in the formulation and revision of many national standards. XCMG Automobile Research Institute has gathered a large number of technical elites, continuously tackling the three core user needs of reliability, lightweight, and low energy consumption. For example, the whole vehicle B10 life reaches 1.2 million kilometers, the three-electric system waterproof and dustproof grade reaches IP68, the roll-over weight of the laminated battery tractor is lower than 9.0 tons, and it is at the industry benchmark position.

On the industry pain point of energy replenishment technology, XCMG joined hands with partners such as Huawei to launch Megawatt-level supercharging technology, achieving "charging for 5 minutes, driving for 100 km". It has completed the full scenario layout of 14 supercharging products in three product lines: tractor, dump truck, and mixer truck. In April 2026, XCMG Supercharging Heavy-Duty Truck also completed a 1,046 km long-distance test from Huizhou, Guangdong to Wuhan, Hubei. The transportation efficiency is on par with traditional fuel heavy trucks, expanding the application scenarios of new energy heavy trucks to the mainline logistics field, leading industry development.

From R&D to manufacturing, XCMG has built a complete champion support system. Walking into the XCMG High-end Intelligent Commercial Vehicle Production Base, it collects four production processes: stamping, welding, painting, and assembly, and applies multiple advanced information management systems. Among them, the welding and painting branches are rated as Jiangsu Province Demonstration Intelligent Branches, and the intelligent manufacturing level and product quality are in the leading position in the industry.

More importantly, XCMG has built an operation ecosystem to empower customer terminals, creating a "Full-Scenario Equipment + Charging and Battery Swapping Energy Replenishment + Customized Finance + Full-Process Service + Intelligent Management" green transportation complete set equipment solution, helping customers operate worry-free. In 2025, XCMG Automobile successfully introduced 30 strategic investors, raised 6.444 billion yuan, creating a financing record in the domestic commercial vehicle field in the近 five years, injecting strong momentum into subsequent technology R&D and ecosystem layout.

Editor's Note

From entering the heavy truck field in 2008 to leading the industry to break through scenario shackles and drive into the new realm of operations, XCMG Automobile completed the leap from follower to new energy heavy truck industry leader in 18 years. This is not only the success of XCMG, but also a microcosm of the rapid rise of China's new energy commercial vehicle industry.

As an old QQ3 owner, I heard there is a Modern Version at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show. After seeing the real car photos, I found this car is indeed interesting, after all, when I put stickers on my old QQ back then, I never thought the manufacturer would ever personally step in to modify the car.

Let's start with the most intuitive appearance. The Modern Version uses Neo Retro New Modern design, which is redoing the retro flavor with modern craftsmanship. Two display cars on site, one is "Modern Era" Green, one is "Anne Pearl" Pink. The green one has a bit of film grain texture, with the white decal it looks like it traveled through the golden age; the pink one is even more amazing, low saturation, neither too sweet nor cloying, as a staff member on site said, "You can tell the owner is not in a hurry".

In terms of details, I care about a few modifications: The front grille changed to regular grid openings plus chrome, with a horizontal stretch, the small car actually has a wide-body, low-slung presence; Wheel arches and side skirts made body-colored, traditional black big surround canceled, the whole car unity feel increased a lot; What impressed me most is that mirror chrome round disc wheel, classic car symbol put to today, when rotating it really looks like a "Time Badge".

Sitting inside the car, the texture upgrade is more obvious than the exterior. Ceiling, A/B pillars, visors all changed to velvet wrapping, one touch knows it's not ordinary small car material. Dashboard, seats, door panels embedded houndstooth texture, center armrest box also has contrasting fabric tape decoration—this idea obviously borrowed from haute couture. As a car owner, I originally felt nothing about houndstooth, but seeing the real car, it's not that kind of "for the sake of retro" accumulation, geometric order and fabric tape contrasting color match are quite restrained.

There is another detail that must be mentioned: Both main and passenger seats come with smart soft light vanity mirrors, brightness continuously adjustable, color temperature two-level adjustable, also with magnetic attachment. This configuration is not very useful to me, but I can imagine how much female owners or passenger seat passengers would like it—22.9% of QQ3 users are sending the car as a gift, dad gives to daughter, husband gives to wife, this vanity mirror is basically a "gift-giving bonus item".

After talking about the product, let's speak some heartfelt words from an owner's perspective. The brand QQ reaching today, relies not on sentiment, but truly understands making small cars well. My old QQ although configuration basic, but easy to drive and park, using car cheap is deeply ingrained. New QQ3 launch first month exceeded 10,000, overseas Indonesia, Thailand also selling, expect September overseas delivery also exceeded 10,000, domestic and international double over 10,000—1.5 million users' choice, not exaggerated. Now QQ and SMART, MINI are called the "World's Trio of Small Cars", as an old owner, honestly a bit proud.

And I noticed an interesting data: QQ3 repurchase users 51.3% come from BBA households. What does this mean? This means this car is not a "compromise of not being able to afford big cars", but many people clearly have luxury cars at home, still willing to add a small premium car for commuting. Turning radius 5.2 meters, old community narrow alley pulled in in one go; per km less than 6 cents, off-peak electricity month electricity fee over 30 Yuan; 2700mm wheelbase, rear row sit two adults not crowded; 8155 chip + 540-degree panoramic + automatic parking, same price range should give all given. Rear engine rear drive plus rear multi-link independent suspension, go over speed bump filter vibration soft—these things, people who drove naturally understand.

Finally back to the Modern Version. 80% of QQ3 users will decorate themselves after getting the car, putting stickers, changing wheels, changing colors, the manufacturer obviously saw this enthusiasm, simply made a "Official Standard Answer". Chengdu Auto Show site can also 99 Yuan trial experience, draw Sun Li autograph model and modification big show quota, exhibition stand has giant retro Polaroid can check-in take photos.

If you ask me is it worth waiting? My advice is: If you originally wanted to buy QQ3, and too lazy to mess with modification yourself, Modern Version this official modification kit completion and texture, indeed more reliable than you go to auto parts market assembled. But if you enjoy is "My car is unique" modification process, then ordinary version leaves you more space for customization.
