Windrose Technology: The Electric Truck Now Legal in Belgium!

Recorded live from Antwerp, this episode of the Wolfe Power Club sees Alex Wolfe in conversation with the team at Windrose Technology about what it actually takes to make electric long-haul HGV legally homologated for the EU. On the 29th January, this day happened and Windrose recieved their Belgium license plates, after nearly 4 years of work.With 31 electric trucks already operating across five continents, the discussion focuses on real-world performance rather than theory. This includes: loaded range, charging in extreme heat and cold and how electric trucks stack up against diesel on cost and reliability. The episode explores where electric freight is already viable today and where the hard problems still remain.We also touch on why commercial vehicles should have led the EV transition, the role of partnerships in scaling faster and what needs to happen next to make electric freight truly mainstream. Contributions from previous guest CEO of Windrose, Wen Han, the Vice Mayor of Antwerp, Johan Klaps, Ian Dennis and Dan Hardy from infrastructure partner Zenobē and the Head of Sales at Trailer Dynamics, Tobias Marian, help ground the discussion in policy, infrastructure and day-to-day operations.Season Two is in Partnership with The SpectatorTickets for the upcoming The Spectator Energy Summit, on Monday 30th November 2026, are available on sale.
