Quantron and HyperView Partner with Foxconn to Manufacture Zero-Emission Commercial Vehicles in China
Joint venture establishes Quantron China in Shaoxing, targeting 100 European trial units in 2026 ahead of Gen2 platform launch in 2027.
German zero-emission mobility company Quantron and Chinese autonomous driving systems developer HyperView have agreed to set up a joint venture, Quantron China, selecting contract manufacturer Foxconn to assemble next-generation commercial vehicle platforms.
Headquartered in Shaoxing, the Sino-European joint venture plans to combine vehicle integration, software architectures, and automated driving systems to address commercial vehicle fleet demand across China, Europe, and the Middle East. Foxconn will act as the industrial manufacturing partner for the truck and bus architectures, providing semi-knocked-down (SKD) production lines and industrialised supply chains aimed at lowering manufacturing costs.
The partnership centres on the co-development of the Gen2 platform, which will accommodate both battery-electric and hydrogen-fuel-cell configurations across trucks and buses. The first complete Gen2 vehicle is scheduled for a public debut in the first half of 2027. The venture plans to roll out a validation fleet of 100 zero-emission vehicles to European customers by the end of 2026.
Andreas Haller, CEO of Haller Group and founder of QUANTRON, said, "With QUANTRON China, we are creating a bridge between China, Europe and the Middle East. Our goal is to make zero-emission commercial mobility faster, more economical and more scalable globally."
