Sany will set up its exhibition stand at IAA Transportation in Hanover in Hall 12, Stand C40, where it will present four vehicles at the request of electrive – all of them fully electric and designed for the construction industry, logistics, and municipal applications. Already known is the e263 tractor unit, with its 420 kW continuous power, 636 kWh LFP battery (623 kWh net), and a stated range of over 500 kilometres. The first units of Sany’s electric tractor are already on German roads. Further derivatives and models are expected to follow soon, namely the e435 8×4, the e345/e360 6×2, and the e363 6×2. Regarding the nomenclature: at Sany, the first digit always indicates the number of axles, while the next two digits represent the gross battery capacity. In the case of the e263, this means a two-axle vehicle with approximately 630 kWh of energy capacity.
But first, some context: Sany is one of several Chinese manufacturers aiming to establish themselves in the European electric truck market. Around a year ago, the group announced its plans to expand into Europe with its e-trucks under the Sany eTrucks division. For the e263, deliveries have already begun. “The first vehicles have been operating on German roads since spring 2026,” reported Kevin Eichele, Head of Product and Business Development at Sany eTrucks Europe, in response to an electrive inquiry this summer. Initial target markets include the DACH region and Spain.
