Since it was founded in Taicang in 2022, the company has been committed to facilitating the large-scale commercialization of autonomous heavy-duty trucks, thereby enhancing logistics efficiency.

ZERON holds more than 190 patents across various fields, including multiplexing control power controllers and composite cooling.

The company has launched two new energy heavy-duty truck models, "Jingzhe" and "Xiaoman", which are powerful, lightweight, and energy-efficient, catering to short-haul freight needs. They have garnered over 1,000 potential orders and commenced bulk deliveries.

ZERON has also introduced an autonomous-driving technology based on end-to-end and large language models, becoming the first enterprise in the heavy-duty truck industry to deploy the technology in a real-world setting.

Moving forward, ZERON plans to further strengthen its technological prowess in the next three years and achieve global leadership within five years. It aims to become the top brand in the new-energy heavy-duty truck sector by 2026, while targeting sales of 80,000 units and a market share of 20 percent by 2030.
