Running without charging: Hanergy Offers New Solar-powered Express Delivery Cars to China’s Top Delivery Companies
The world’s largest thin-film power solution company, Hanergy Mobile Energy Holdings Group, today announced that its subsidiary, Hanergy Glory Solar Technology has successfully delivered the latest solar powered electric express delivery cars (Solar Runner #1) to China’s top delivery companies, STO Express and ZJS Express on October 9, on the occasion of 49th World Post Day.
Installed with 320W of the world’s most-efficient flexible and light-weighted thin-film solar module, and low-temperature resistant lithium battery compatible with thin-film solar, Solar Runner #1 can increase the efficiency of delivery companies by saving the cost and trouble of centralized charging, extending mileage by 50% and charging the battery with solar even under cold weathers. Supplemented with solar powered battery replacement service, this company offers a 100% green and economical “Charge Never” solution for delivery companies.
Renowned to be the forerunner of thin film power technology around the globe, Hanergy is constantly marching ahead making its contribution felt across industries. The company’s successful delivery of express delivery cars, installed with its advanced thin film solar modules to the top delivery companies in China is a clear evidence of it. The express delivery cars which were assembled by the company in collaboration with Hebei Nachi New Energy Automotive Technology have a par-excellence battery efficiency and can easily operate without charging for 3 consecutive weeks or even longer depending on level of sunshine and length of daily working hours.
It’s not for the first time that the company’s advanced thin film power technology has been brought to effective use in courier service cars. Earlier, Hanergy’s thin-film solar technology was also applied by Hanergy Glory to a number of delivery companies including SF Express and JD Logistics’ express delivery cars.
What’s more enthralling is that, Development & Research Center of China’s State Post Bureau also took note of Hanergy’s consistent efforts towards making express delivery companies more efficient and environment friendly that it published the news of the company’s recent accomplishment on their website.
Lu Tao, CEO of Hanergy Glory Solar Technology said, “We’re on a mission to improve China’s express delivery industry by bringing to an effective use our advanced thin film power technology. We’re committed to design innovative solar express delivery car solution that is cordless charging via solar power. We hope our contribution is directed towards creating a true green express delivery industry.”
“In the future, we hope to bring more mobile energy solutions to various industries,” Lu added.
In China, the last 3 kilometers of delivery is finished with delivery cars, usually powered by electricity. Traditional express delivery cars face several problems, including low battery capacity, centralized charging and dangers caused by stacking goods on top; leading to poor endurance, high safety risks during recharging and severe transportation risks during running. Likewise, Couriers often worry about the problem of refueling or recharging, which limits the express delivery quantities and reduces couriers’ break time. These matters seriously affected the couriers’ working efficiency and income. What’s worse, winters always affect the performance of traditional batteries, which further reduces the distribution efficiency.
Contrariwise, the new express delivery cars equipped with thin film solar modules and high-performance low-temperature lithium batteries offer a daily mileage of up to 100 kilometers, which is nearly twice the mileage of ordinary version. The cars need not to be recharged for 3 weeks under good weather.
In addition to great improvement of the endurance, the new express delivery cars have also been significantly upgraded in terms of intelligence. The most important thing is a surveillance camera being installed at the back of the cars in order to reduce the chance of accidents. The cars can also acquire Big Data from Internet. Therefore, battery status, power generation condition, route lines and distance can be shown clearly.
It also helps the express companies to improve operational efficiency. Moreover, the vehicle can be easily connected to the customer’s mobile phone and also comes equipped with intelligent anti-theft function.
In the design of the body, the container of the express delivery car not only expands the volume to the maximum within the legal scope, but also adopts a three-folding door to facilitate the entry and unload of the goods. In addition, the car is equipped with a “Fire Ice” extinguisher designated by the Chinese aircraft carrier, so that the impact can be minimized if any accident occurs.
In fact, the market demand of China’s express industry has grown rapidly. In 2017, the quantity of express delivery business reached 40.1 billion pieces, recording an increase of 28% year-on-year. The revenue of the industry took a leap by 24.5% compared to the year before, recording the total revenue of RMB 495 billion (US$71.4 billion).
The express delivery industry is getting cautious about reducing carbon emissions, ensuing to the increased demand of solar express delivery cars.
The Kano State House of Assembly has initiated impeachment proceedings against Deputy Governor Aminu Abdussalam Gwarzo over allegations of gross misconduct, abuse of office, and breach of public trust.
The notice was presented yesterday during plenary by the Majority Leader, Lawan Hussaini Dala, who said the action follows Section 188 of the 1999 Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.
Dala said the allegations stem from Abdussalam’s tenure as Commissioner for Local Government (2023–2024) and his current role as deputy governor. He accused the deputy governor of diverting funds meant for the 44 local government councils.
According to the majority leader, Abdussalam allegedly received N1.5 million monthly from each council between June 2023 and January 2024, totaling N462 million. Between February and July 2024, he allegedly collected N3.255 million monthly from each council under the guise of special assignments, amounting to N726 million.
Dala also accused the deputy governor of abuse of office, claiming he facilitated payments of N10 million from each council to NovoMed Pharmaceuticals Limited, totaling N440 million, in violation of state procurement laws.
“The misuse of official capacity to confer undue advantage constitutes abuse of power and undermines public trust,” Dala told lawmakers, adding that the allegations amount to gross misconduct under the Constitution.
The impeachment notice was reportedly endorsed by 38 lawmakers, meeting the constitutional threshold to proceed. The Speaker has acknowledged receipt, and the House is expected to serve the allegations on the deputy governor.
If approved, a panel may be constituted by the state Chief Judge to investigate the claims.
As of filing, Abdussalam had yet to respond publicly to the allegations.
The Inspector-General of Police, Tunji Disu, on Wednesday inaugurated a seven-member committee on the establishment of state police, giving it four weeks to submit its report.
The inauguration was held during his maiden conference with senior police officers at the Peacekeeping Conference Centre, Force Headquarters, Abuja.
Charging members of the panel to discharge their duties with professionalism and objectivity, Disu described the assignment as “both significant and timely,” noting that it would shape the framework through which state policing may operate in Nigeria.
“In carrying out this assignment, your deliberations must be guided by professionalism, objectivity, and a clear appreciation of the unique complexities of policing a diverse nation such as our own,” the IGP said.
He stated that if properly designed and effectively implemented, state policing holds significant potential benefits for the country.
“By bringing law enforcement closer to communities, state police institutions can deepen local knowledge of security dynamics and enable quicker and more targeted responses to emerging threats,” he added.
The committee is expected to review existing policing models within and outside Nigeria, assess community security needs and emerging risks, and propose an operational framework for the establishment and coordination of state police structures.
It will also address issues relating to recruitment, training, standards and resource allocation, as well as develop accountability and oversight mechanisms to ensure professionalism and public trust.
The panel is chaired by Olu Ogunsakin, with Bode Ojajuni as secretary. Other members are Emmanuel Ojukwu, Okebechi Agora, Suleyman Gulma, Ikechukwu Okafor and Tolulope Ipinmisho.
Disu said the committee had about four weeks to conclude its assignment and submit a comprehensive report.
The move marks one of the first major steps taken by the new police chief since his appointment and confirmation a few days ago.
The development comes amid rising security concerns across the country, with several stakeholders advocating state policing as part of measures to tackle insecurity.
President Bola Tinubu had earlier asked the National Assembly to commence the process of amending relevant laws to pave the way for the creation of state police.
President Bola Tinubu on Wednesday swore in Olatunji Disu as the Inspector-General of Police (IGP).
Disu took the oath of office at the Council Chamber of the Presidential Villa, Abuja, shortly before the commencement of the Federal Executive Council (FEC) meeting.
The President also administered the oath of office to six commissioners of the Revenue Mobilisation Allocation and Fiscal Commission (RMAFC) and two commissioners of the Federal Civil Service Commission (FCSC).
The ceremonies were witnessed by ministers, senior government officials and family members of the appointees.
The council meeting began shortly after the swearing-in.
In attendance were Vice President Kashim Shettima; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Senator George Akume; the Chief of Staff to the President, Femi Gbajabiamila; the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu; and the Head of the Civil Service of the Federation, Mrs EsthMrs.Walson-Jack.
Disu was appointed acting IGP on February 25, 2026, by President Tinubu, following the resignation of former IGP Kayode Egbetokun.
His appointment was subsequently endorsed by the Nigeria Police Council (NPC).
The former Assistant Inspector-General of Police assumed office last Wednesday.
He previously served as Assistant Inspector-General in charge of the Force Criminal Investigation Department (FCID) Annex, Alagbon, Lagos, after his promotion to the rank last year.
A former head of the Lagos Rapid Response Squad (RRS), Disu has pledged to deliver accountable, modern and professional policing.
