# This Windrose E1400 semi-truck like Tesla Semi.

By [ Alex Garin](/community/electromobili "Alex Garin") in [New Electric Vehicles](/community/videos/electromobili/videos/categories/new-electric-vehicles) 1543 views 24th Dec, 2024 Video Duration: N/A

The Windrose E1400 is a long-haul electric semi-trailer developed by Windrose Technology, a company that aims to revolutionize green transportation with its zero-emission heavy-duty trucks. Here are the key features and insights behind this model:
Design and Aerodynamics: The Windrose E1400 is designed with efficiency in mind, boasting an industry-leading drag coefficient of 0.2755, significantly reducing energy consumption. Its sleek, aerodynamic design is reminiscent of the Tesla Semi, but with unique touches including external cameras that replace traditional mirrors to improve visibility and further reduce drag.
Performance and Power: The truck is powered by four motors that deliver up to 680 kW (900 hp) of continuous power and 1,040 kW (1,400 hp) of peak drive power. It can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 22 seconds, even when fully loaded, demonstrating its heavy-duty hauling capabilities. This performance is supported by an 800 V high-voltage platform, enabling rapid charging.
Battery and range: The E1400 is equipped with a massive 729 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, providing a range of up to 670 km when fully loaded with up to 49 tonnes. This range allows it to cover important routes such as Auckland to Wellington in New Zealand with minimal highway charging. Rapid charging options include Megawatt Charging (MCS) or two-charge CCS2, allowing the truck to add 400 km of range in just 35 minutes.
Charging infrastructure: Windrose has ensured that its trucks are compatible with high-power charging, which is crucial for long-haul efficiency. The company has also partnered with organisations such as Zenobe to offer battery leasing options, reducing upfront costs and risks for fleet owners.
Market presence and testing: The E1400 has been tested in a range of conditions, including extreme temperatures and high altitudes, proving its ruggedness and reliability. Windrose is planning a global rollout, with high-profile trials and demonstrations in New Zealand, China and Europe, as well as a planned assembly plant in the US to avoid tariffs. The model has been well received at demonstrations, with some skepticism surrounding its ambitious range and performance claims.
Economic and environmental impact: Windrose claims to have significantly reduced freight costs by switching from diesel to electric, thanks to cheaper electricity. Environmental benefits are also highlighted, with electric trucks helping to reduce carbon emissions and noise pollution. This aspect has been particularly highlighted in discussions about the future of transport in regions such as New Zealand, where environmental concerns are increasingly driving policy. Public and expert reception: The Windrose E1400 has created a stir in the electric vehicle community, especially among those who advocate for environmentally friendly transport solutions.
While the specs are impressive, real-world performance and durability will need to be monitored over time. Expert analyses highlight the importance of the truck’s claims being met in practice to truly challenge established players like the Tesla Semi.
In summary, the Windrose E1400 semi-truck represents a significant step towards the electrification of heavy-duty transport thanks to its combination of high performance, long range and fast charging capabilities. However, its market acceptance will depend on how well it lives up to its ambitious specs in real-world scenarios.
