Port of Antwerp-Bruges welcomes Windrose with the Chinese manufacturer of electric trucks is establishing its first European flagship site, “Windrose Park Antwerp,” along the Noorderlaan in Antwerp.
At this location, Windrose will assemble vehicles for the European market, alongside research & development and after-sales activities.
The concession follows a market consultation for two plots totaling 9.5 hectares on the Romeynsweel site along the Noorderlaan in Antwerp, with a focus on logistics and assembly activities.
Windrose will ship components to Antwerp, where the electric trucks will be assembled.
The finished vehicles, which meet all required European certifications, will then be exported to other European markets and potentially North America as well. This will generate local logistics and assembly activities and additional container traffic from the Far East.
Wen Han, CEO of Windrose, stated that this is the beginning of our mission to ignite a global ecosystem of transportation electrification together with our partners in automotive supply chain, self-driving technology, renewable energy, and industrial logistics.
Jacques Vandermeiren, CEO of Port of Antwerp-Bruges, commented that the fact that a manufacturer of electric trucks has chosen Antwerp as its European flagship site underlines the international appeal of Port of Antwerp-Bruges.
