Windrose Park Antwerp

The most important site in the Windrose network, inside the Port of Antwerp-Bruges at Romeynsweel — the company’s centre of gravity.

Where the site sits

One of Europe’s busiest logistics hubs, on the major EU freight corridors. Below: the parcel from the air — hall in white, boundary in amber, nearest turbine off the top-right corner.

The masterplan — assembly halls, truck staging and charging, and a wind turbine proposed on the site. The turbines supplying the park today are Vleemo machines already turning in the surrounding port, the nearest 460 m from the hall.

Partners

Four parties, one complete heavy-truck base

A complete heavy-truck ecosystem on one site, and no one company owns all of it.

Port of Antwerp-Bruges

The land.

  • Port concession inside the port perimeter
  • One of Europe’s busiest freight platforms, on the EU corridors, with deep-sea terminals on the doorstep
  • The port’s own wind fleet already turning around it

Van Wellen

The buildings.

  • Antwerp developer redeveloping the existing 16,340 m² hall
  • Masterplan ahead: a second production hall, an office building, a service centre and the yard

Vleemo

The electricity.

  • Flemish operator running 30+ turbines inside the Port of Antwerp
  • Nearest one 460 m from our hall
  • Supplied directly from those machines, not through a certificate bought after the fact

ENGIE

The charging.

  • Working with ENGIE’s heavy-truck charging arm on a charging park on the site
  • ENGIE runs Europe’s largest gas network, and through Electrabel is the largest electricity producer and supplier in Belgium
  • Its own generation sits in this same port

Together the four make a base, not a factory with suppliers attached — a closed loop inside one perimeter.

One loop

Wind in, trucks out, nothing shipped in to make it work

Three products, one wind supply — trucks, the batteries that charge them, and Windrose Compute. Each is assembled and developed here, then charged here from that same wind.

The loop on the real ground: the hall standing today, the two Vleemo turbines under contract at their true positions, and the roads a truck actually drives between them. Windrose Power is a 20 ft container of truck battery packs; while a grid connection is being arranged, a truck can shuttle it — no cable, no transformer, nothing built. Icons are not to scale.

What happens here

Assembly, parts logistics, and R&D

Where Windrose’s global supply chain becomes a finished truck on the line.

Assembly

Assembled on site, not shipped complete — the final build stays close to the market it serves. Finished vehicles leave straight onto the EU freight corridors through the port.

Parts logistics

Components arrive by sea, then are kitted and sub-assembled at the park before they reach the line — about 1,000 component types and 75,000 parts per truck, shortened from container to finished vehicle.

R&D

Self-driving and connectivity run from here for every market Windrose sells into, not only Europe — next to the line that builds the trucks, and next to the compute they train on.

1,000+distinct component types per truck
~75,000individual parts per truck

Where the wind is

Every turbine here is a real machine already turning in the port, plotted from OpenStreetMap. Inner circle: next door. Outer circle: the whole port.

Turbine positions from OpenStreetMap. The nearest machine, a 3.2 MW Vleemo turbine, stands 460 m from the hall. Twelve turbines totalling 37.6 MW fall within 2 km of the site; 114 turbines and at least 225 MW sit within 15 km, across the port.

Built on wind generated inside the port

Powered by wind generated inside the port, under a direct supply arrangement with Vleemo.

For fleet operators counting scope 3 emissions, the electricity behind a truck built here is traceable to the machines you can see from the site.

Beyond the truck line

Storage, compute and R&D from the same site

The truck line is the first product here. Two more share the wind, the port access and the same halls.

Windrose Power

Containerised battery storage and charging, built and commissioned alongside the truck line — so the charging a fleet needs ships from the same site as the trucks.

Windrose Compute

Containerised AI compute, built on the same line and paired with a Windrose Power unit.

  • The truck’s liquid cooling, high-voltage DC distribution and battery packs, put to work on racks instead of axles
  • Waste heat returns to the hall, which needs about 810 kW of heat in winter
  • Because our tech stack is open source, the chargers here serve any truck that takes the standard
