According to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) , the transport sector contributes around 14% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, with land transport being the main emitter , followed by maritime and aviation, which contribute 2.2 percent.
Faced with this reality, Greenspace E-Mobility , an integrator of charging infrastructure and electromobility solutions , reached an agreement with Windrose Technology , a manufacturer of electric trucks, to offer its vehicles in both Mexico and the United States.
According to information shared by Greenspace, the vehicle they are distributing is the R700 model, with a range of 708 kilometers (440 miles) on a full charge .
The development proposed by Greenspace is focused on integrating corridors between Mexico and Texas , connecting Mexico City, Guadalajara and Monterrey, as well as the Monterrey-Nuevo Laredo-Puente Colombia route, covering the main transportation routes.
Within Texas, the focus of infrastructure development considers the Laredo-Dallas-Houston-Laredo corridor , this axis is critical for cross-border trade, where more than 40% of land exchange between Mexico and the United States passes through.
“The transition to cleaner transportation requires not only electric trucks, but also infrastructure, software, and a comprehensive vision. Today, we are committed to binational corridors that benefit Mexico and the United States,” emphasized Horacio De la Torre, General Manager of Greenspace E-Mobility USA.
As part of the Laredo Motor Carriers Association (LMCA) golf tournament , which will take place on September 11 and 12, Greenspace will take the opportunity to unveil the Windrose R700 .
Meanwhile, from September 12-19, Greenspace E-Mobility will conduct an exclusive tour of warehouses, yards, and carrier and customs broker facilities in Laredo, Texas, to showcase the truck’s capabilities and available infrastructure solutions .
In De la Torre’s view, Greenspace E-Mobility’s proposal is a comprehensive ecosystem offering, including ultra-fast charging stations (350 kW to 1 MW) with a pull-through design for tractor-trailers; a NET digital platform for control, energy management, and fleet optimization; and a 2025–2030 Roadmap: consolidating electric routes in Mexico and Texas as the first step toward a regional electric freight mobility system.
De la Torre highlighted the technical qualities of the Windrose R700 , a Class 8 electric tractor that has a consumption of only 0.97 kWh/km, ultra-fast charging with open standard MCS (1 MW), and a traditional cab designed for rapid acceptance by Mexican and American operators.
Additionally, it has various advanced safety features such as ADAS , including automatic braking, 360° cameras, lane assist, and others.
Among the benefits of operating this electric tractor-trailer are the reduction in emissions and costs, “in addition to a decrease in maintenance costs of up to 60% compared to diesel vehicles, as well as an improvement of between 25% and 35% in the TCO (total cost of operation) , as well as a drastic reduction in carbon dioxide (CO₂) and nitrogen oxide (NOx), aligned with ESG goals of large fleets,” De la Torre said.
