Two global industry leaders join forces to advance low carbon, cross-border transport solutions
• Pilot utilized an electric heavy-duty truck within China and transitioned to diesel for the Kazakhstan leg, reducing CO₂ emissions by 46%
SHENZHEN, China – April 16, 2026 – CEVA Logistics, a global leader in third-party logistics, and Lenovo, a global technology powerhouse, have successfully completed an eight-day long-haul trial utilizing a pure-electric heavy-duty truck from Shenzhen to Alashankou, China, before transitioning to a diesel fleet for the final leg of the journey to Almaty, Kazakhstan. Spanning nearly 6,000 kilometers and transporting 5.3 tons of cargo, the pilot reduced CO₂ emissions by 46%.
CEVA completed the 5,000-kilometer domestic leg from Shenzhen to Alashankou in just 4.5 days, supported by nine strategic charging stops. CEVA’s Alashankou International Road Transport (TIR) Center streamlined all cross-border and customs procedures, boosting the transport’s overall efficiency. Cargo security included GPS tracking and real-time monitoring to provide full end-to-end visibility across every critical milestone.
Leveraging its expertise in long-distance Electric Vehicle (EV) operations, CEVA designed a tailored cross-border solution that synchronizes domestic electric trucking, rapid customs brokerage and a seamless hand-off to international diesel fleets—effectively establishing a low carbon transport corridor between China and Central Asia.
