Chengdu, China – September 24, 2025 – In the highly competitive and concentrated new energy commercial vehicle sector, Yiwei Auto has achieved rapid growth through strategic transformation and technological innovation. In the first half of 2025, the company delivered 700 sanitation vehicles, doubling its business volume year-on-year and significantly outpacing the industry average.
From Chassis Supplier to Integrated Vehicle Manufacturer
Originally focused on supplying chassis for new energy sanitation vehicles, Yiwei Auto recognized the challenges brought by industry changes and customer consolidation. In 2022, the company initiated a strategic transformation to develop integrated vehicle solutions, moving beyond chassis to full-vehicle manufacturing.
Triple Breakthroughs in Technology, Market, and Global Expansion
Backed by a strong R&D team—over 50% of employees are dedicated to research—along with tens of millions in annual R&D investment and the 20+ years of industry experience of founder Mr. Li Hongpeng, Yiwei Auto rapidly built full-vehicle R&D and production capacity. Its assembly plant started operation in 2023 and reached volume production in 2024. The company now holds more than 10 core technologies, including autonomous driving, intelligent control algorithms, vehicle-cloud platforms, and integrated thermal management systems.
Innovation: Yiwei Auto launched pioneering products such as the world’s first 31-ton artificial precipitation vehicle and an 18-ton solar-powered sweeper, addressing extreme weather and sustainability needs. Its integrated chassis-body design reduces per-vehicle costs by about 10%.
Market Diversification: In addition to government contracts, the company has expanded into private-sector clients, offering flexible models such as leasing. Autonomous sanitation vehicles have also been deployed in large-scale farms for automated cleaning and feeding.
Global Expansion: Yiwei Auto has cooperated with a Hungarian client, and is targeting Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia as key markets.
Innovation as the Key to Breakthrough
“Industry competition is not to be feared,” said Mr. Wang Junyuan, Deputy General Manager of Yiwei Auto. “The key lies in transformation and value-driven innovation. Through technology, market diversification, and global expansion, we have not only achieved growth but also found a sustainable path forward.”
Yiwei Auto will continue to pursue innovation and expand its global vision, delivering smarter, more efficient, and more sustainable new energy solutions for urban sanitation and public services.
