NaaS Partners With Newrizon to Accelerate Popularization of New Energy Commercial Vehicles

NaaS Technology Inc. recently entered into a strategic partnership agreement with Newrizon.

NaaS and Newrizon will both draw upon the advantages that each partner possesses in terms of technology, resources, and services as they cooperate in the field of smart connected new energy commercial vehicles.

The goal of the strategic partnership is to establish a new charging network, facilitate the formation of an intelligent charging ecosystem, and accelerate the popularization of new energy commercial vehicles.

In doing so, both parties hope to not only facilitate the development of green logistics, but also to enable the achievement of China's 'dual carbon' goals.

As a new player in ground transport, new energy commercial vehicles have been promoted heavily as they are regarded as an important means towards achieving the industry's 'dual carbon' goals.

According to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers (CAAC), the market penetration rate for new energy commercial vehicles reached 10.2% this July.

Global sales of new energy commercial vehicles were up to 142,000 as of July this year, representing a year-on-year growth of 75.3%. The China Passenger Car Association estimated that the sales of new energy vehicles would exceed 350,000 in 2022.

The current integration of automobiles with developments in the fields of energy, transportation, information and communication is accelerating. Liang Xing, Vice President of Operations for NaaS, said, "The commercial vehicle industry is accelerating its embrace of new energy. Newrizon is promoting the integration of new energy and autonomous driving technologies to commercial vehicles. NaaS will work closely with Newrizon to improve the smart-connected ecosystem with an intelligent charging network, promote innovation in the new energy commercial vehicle industry, and allow users to enjoy intelligent travel that is both pleasant and efficient."

Kuai Jun, Vice President of Marketing for Newrizon, said, "The intelligent charging network effectively upgrades the experience for new energy commercial vehicles drivers, which is of great significance to the development of green logistics and transportation. NaaS is a leading electric vehicle charging service provider in China. This new partnership will effectively strengthen Newrizon's efforts to build an electric, intelligent and networked ecosystem. It will also help accelerate the popularization of new energy commercial vehicles in China."
