SANY 408P Electric Mixer Truck Makes History, Becoming First Chinese EV to Secure Latest EU Whole Vehicle Type-Approval
408P Electric Mixer Truck Passes Updated EU General Safety Regulation, Setting New Global Benchmark
In a landmark achievement for the global electric vehicle industry, SANY Group’s world-class 408P electric mixer truck has successfully passed the updated European Union General Safety Regulation (GSR) benchmark. This remarkable accomplishment establishes the 408P as the first Chinese electric engineering vehicle to obtain the latest Whole Vehicle Type-Approval (SVTA) certificate, marking a significant breakthrough in international automotive safety standards compliance. The certification was conducted under the rigorous supervision of TÜV Rheinland, one of the world’s leading technical service providers, ensuring the highest levels of validation and credibility.
The 408P electric mixer truck represents SANY’s engineering excellence and commitment to global safety standards, equipped with an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS) developed by Haistar. This sophisticated safety technology integration enables the 408P to meet and exceed the stringent requirements of the updated EU regulations that took effect in July 2024. The successful certification positions SANY at the forefront of electric commercial vehicle innovation while accelerating the company’s global development roadmap in sustainable construction equipment.

Comprehensive ADAS Features of the 408P Model
The 408P electric mixer truck has successfully passed five critical GSR ADAS features, establishing new safety standards for electric commercial vehicles. These advanced systems include the Moving Off Information System (MOIS), which monitors and alerts drivers to pedestrians and cyclists within the vehicle’s front proximity blind spot. This technology significantly reduces accidents during initial vehicle movement, particularly in urban environments where visibility challenges are common around large commercial vehicles.
Additional certified systems include the Blind Spot Information System (BSIS) that detects collision risks in the right blind spot during turns, the Reversing Information System (REIS) that assists with parking and maneuvering through real-time video monitoring, the Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) that alerts drivers to speed limit compliance, and the Driver Drowsiness & Alertness Warning (DDAW) that monitors driver fatigue through advanced physiological imaging technology. Each system underwent extensive validation to meet the EU’s stringent performance requirements.
Rigorous Testing and Validation Procedures
The certification process involved comprehensive testing across multiple European countries, with the 408P’s Intelligent Speed Assist (ISA) system logging more than 6,000 kilometers of on-road testing across ten EU nations. This extensive validation included 431 kilometers of real-world driving across diverse scenarios encompassing urban centers, village roads, highways, and complex traffic environments. The system achieved remarkable accuracy metrics, with single-scenario recognition accuracy exceeding 90 percent and overall system accuracy reaching an impressive 96 percent.
TÜV Rheinland’s testing protocols evaluated every aspect of the 408P’s safety systems under real-world operating conditions, ensuring compliance with the updated GSR requirements that mandate appropriate ADAS functionality for all commercial vehicles registered in the European Union. The successful certification confirms that the 408P electric mixer truck meets the highest international standards for safety, reliability, and technological sophistication in the electric commercial vehicle segment.

EU General Safety Regulation Compliance and Technical Specifications
EU Regulatory Framework and Safety Advancement
The European Union General Safety Regulation, initially launched in 2019 and updated in July 2024, represents a comprehensive framework designed to enhance protection for vehicle occupants, pedestrians, and cyclists. The regulations aim to significantly reduce traffic accidents and casualties by mandating higher safety standards across all vehicle categories. The latest update specifically requires all commercial vehicles registered within the EU to be equipped with appropriate Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems functionality, creating a new benchmark for vehicle safety worldwide.
SANY’s successful compliance with these updated regulations demonstrates the company’s proactive approach to global safety standards and its commitment to engineering excellence. The 408P electric mixer truck’s certification under this rigorous framework positions SANY as a leader in safety innovation within the electric commercial vehicle sector, setting a precedent for other manufacturers seeking to enter the European market with advanced electric construction equipment.
Haistar ADAS Technology Integration and Adaptability
The advanced driver-assistance system developed by Haistar represents a technological breakthrough in commercial vehicle safety, featuring highly adaptable architecture with strong expandability potential. During testing, TÜV Rheinland highlighted the system’s exceptional adaptability, noting its potential application across multiple vehicle models beyond the 408P electric mixer truck. This modular approach to safety technology enables cost-effective implementation while maintaining the highest performance standards required by international regulations.
The Haistar ADAS incorporates sophisticated sensor fusion technology, combining data from multiple sources including cameras, radar systems, and vehicle dynamics sensors to create a comprehensive safety envelope around the vehicle. This integrated approach ensures reliable performance across diverse operating conditions while providing drivers with intuitive alerts and assistance that enhance situational awareness without creating unnecessary distractions or complexity in the cab environment.
Strategic Market Implications and Global Expansion
The successful certification of the 408P electric mixer truck represents more than just regulatory compliance—it signifies a strategic breakthrough in SANY’s global expansion strategy. As the first Chinese electric engineering vehicle to obtain the latest EU Whole Vehicle Type-Approval certificate, the 408P now possesses the necessary market entry permit to compete effectively within the European Union’s construction equipment sector. This achievement accelerates SANY’s global development roadmap while consolidating the company’s leading position in the rapidly evolving electric engineering vehicle market worldwide.
According to Yu Hongfu, president of SANY Heavy Industry, “Looking ahead, SANY will push forward to develop our international markets, empowering advancements in digital intelligence, and promoting low-carbon operations to provide high-quality, safe, more reliable, and more intelligent products to global customers.” This statement underscores the company’s commitment to leveraging this certification as a springboard for expanded international presence while continuing to innovate in sustainable construction equipment technology.
Future Development and Industry Leadership Vision
The certification of the 408P electric mixer truck establishes a new benchmark for electric commercial vehicle safety that will influence industry standards globally. SANY’s achievement demonstrates that Chinese engineering and manufacturing capabilities can not only meet but exceed the most stringent international safety regulations, challenging traditional perceptions about electric vehicle quality and safety standards. This breakthrough paves the way for increased adoption of electric construction equipment in regulated markets worldwide.
