The “Future Logistics Revolution” from Science Fiction to Reality
In the movie “The Wandering Earth 2”, the scene of autonomous trucks shuttling through extreme environments was astonishing. Nowadays, Westwell has made it a reality – the Q-Truck Full-Time Autonomous New Energy Commercial Vehicle is reshaping the future of the global logistics industry in multiple roles such as a “Smart Air Cargo Solution”, an “Innovator of Smart Factory Logistics”, and an “Industrial Park Autonomous Logistics Vehicle” solution. As a company that has achieved large-scale implementation of autonomous commercial vehicles globally, Westwell not only demonstrates its strong technical capabilities but also becomes a benchmark for the transformation of the global logistics industry with its full-scenario coverage of green and intelligent solutions.
I. The Core Strength and Innovative Design of Q-Truck
Full-Time Autonomous New Energy Commercial Vehicle, Defining New Industry Standards
The Q-Truck is the world’s first truly pure electric autonomous heavy-duty truck. Its core technologies include 360-degree integrated perception, centimeter-level positioning, and the self-developed WELL FMS dispatching system, which can achieve efficient operation throughout the day in closed or semi-closed scenarios. Through battery replacement technology, the energy replenishment time is reduced to 5 minutes, solving the range anxiety of traditional electric heavy-duty trucks.The Innovation of the Steer-by-Wire Chassis, Balancing “Rigidity” and “Flexibility”
Aiming at extreme working conditions in ports, factories, etc., the chassis of the Q-Truck adopts corrosion-resistant steel and shock-absorbing suspension design. Through the CAE test of the international authoritative institution Ricardo, it can withstand frequent loading and unloading impacts, and its service life exceeds 10 years. Its modular design supports future software and hardware upgrades, such as adding sensors or OTA iterations, ensuring that the technology is never outdated.
II. Scenario Implementation, Full Intelligent Coverage from Ports to Factories
Intelligent Port Freight Solution: The “Digital Driver” for Global Ports
In ports of 28 countries including Khalifa Port in Abu Dhabi, the Q-Truck fleet seamlessly integrates with port operations through an intelligent dispatching system. For instance, the Q-Truck fleet at Laem Chabang Port in Thailand has cumulatively handled 660,000 TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units).Smart Factories and Intelligent Factory Logistics: The “Invisible Pusher” of the Production Chain
In the SERES Smart Factory, the Q-Truck achieves fully automated in-factory transportation in the mode of “replacing warehouses with containers”, precisely matching the rhythm of the production line. Through the vehicle-road coordination system and the intelligent battery replacement network, its 24-hour operation capability significantly reduces labor costs and reduces the risk of production line stagnation.Industrial Park Autonomous Logistics Vehicle Solutions: An Ecological Closed Loop with Multi-scenario Linkage
Westwell further combines the Q-Truck with the intelligent logistics robot Well-Bot, connecting the entire process of “truck-loading dock-warehousing”. With millimeter-level positioning and AI sorting capabilities, the Well-Bot solves the “last mile” logistics problem in industrial parks, forming a complete intelligent ecosystem from transportation to warehousing.
III. Global Layout, Driving Industry Transformation
“Going Global 3.0”: Global Localized Operation and Standard Certification
Taking Hong Kong as its international headquarters, Westwell Lab has established localized teams in places such as Malaysia and Dubai, reaching out to the Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern markets. Its products have passed the EU CE certification, comply with international standards such as ISO and IEC, and are adapted to global scenarios, enabling them to be put into operation around the clock.A Win-Win Situation of Green Value and Commercial Returns
The pure electric drive and intelligent dispatching system of Q-Truck can enable a single vehicle to reduce the carbon dioxide emissions by 50 tons per year for the earth when using green electricity completely. Its efficiency is nearly 30% higher than that of manned container trucks, achieving both environmental and economic benefits.
IV. New Quality Productivity Drives Industry Transformation
Westwell jointly released the “White Paper on the Green Transformation and Digital Intelligence Development of the Logistics Industry” with Roland Berger, proposing the “LEAD” methodology (digitization, electrification, intelligence, and global interconnection), providing a systematic transformation path for the logistics industry. With the restart of the IPO process, Westwell plans to deepen the integration of new energy and autonomous driving technologies, further expand scenarios such as airports and railway ports, and aims to become an “infrastructure-level” player in the global smart logistics network.
Westwell has used the Q-Truck as a fulcrum to set off an intelligent revolution in the logistics industry. It has not only gained international reputation, but also, with its green and all-scenario solutions, left a vivid testament to the sustainable development of humanity.
Westwell is a leader in the intelligent and sustainable low-carbon transformation of the global logistics industry. As a provider of integrated intelligent and new energy solutions, the company has achieved commercial implementation in 28 countries and regions worldwide, serving over 200 customers. Its solutions cover a wide range of scenarios, including seaports, railway ports, land ports, air ports, smart factories, and smart industrial parks. Through rapid global commercial deployment and one-stop full lifecycle digital intelligence services, Westwell accelerates its global commercialization and ensures reliable project operations.
