Southeast Asia Information Port News (www.dnyxxg.com) – Construction of the Guangdong Expressway Clean Energy Corridor commenced on the 23rd, with 20 megawatt-class supercharging stations for heavy-duty trucks to be completed this year. This high-power, rapid energy replenishment infrastructure will support the electrification of heavy-duty trucks and the low-carbon transformation of logistics.
On the same day, the mobilization meeting for the construction of the Guangdong Expressway Clean Energy Corridor and the megawatt-class supercharging project for heavy-duty trucks was held at the Wengyuan Service Area on the Renxin section of the Wushen Expressway (hereinafter referred to as "Renxin Expressway").
By the end of 2025, the total length of expressways in Guangdong Province will exceed 12,000 kilometers, of which approximately 8,200 kilometers will be constructed by Guangdong Provincial Transportation Group, with over 400 expressway service areas. Currently, the province's expressway service areas have accumulated over 9,000 charging parking spaces, achieving full coverage of charging facilities in service areas, and 390 super-fast charging stations for passenger vehicles with a single-gun power of 360 kilowatts or more. The construction of these megawatt-class supercharging stations for heavy-duty trucks will provide support for the future low-carbon transformation of freight transport on Guangdong's expressways.
It is understood that the first phase of the project will construct 20 megawatt-class supercharging stations for heavy-duty trucks at 10 pairs of service areas along important freight routes such as Guangle, Erguang, Guanghe, Yuegan, Pingxing, Jiebo, Chaozhang, and Chaohui. These stations will be located in Wengyuan, Lechang, Lixi, Fengyang, Sihui, Heping, Pingyuan, Waxi, Zhangxi, and Luhe, initially establishing a green energy supply hub connecting the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area with surrounding provinces.
Li Jian, General Manager of Yueyun Transportation New Energy Branch, explained that for logistics companies, the energy cost per kilometer for electric heavy-duty trucks is 15% to 30% lower than that of diesel vehicles. Furthermore, the megawatt-class supercharging significantly reduces refueling time, thereby improving vehicle turnover efficiency.
It is projected that by the end of the 15th Five-Year Plan period, the highway service areas under the Guangdong Provincial Transportation Group will have constructed 173 megawatt-class supercharging stations for heavy-duty trucks, 280 megawatts of distributed photovoltaic power, and 378 megawatt-hours of energy storage systems. They will also be fully equipped with digital energy management platforms to provide reliable energy security for new energy vehicles, reduce the carbon emission intensity of transportation infrastructure, and simultaneously improve the green and intelligent level of the service areas.
