Pan-United Will Deploy Singapore’s First Electric-Powered Concrete Mixer Truck
SINGAPORE, 19 JULY 2024 — Singapore-listed concrete innovation leader Pan-United Corporation Ltd (泛联集团, “Pan-United”) has unveiled the country’s first electric-powered concrete mixer truck, underlining its commitment to sustainability. The introduction of electric vehicles (EVs) marks a milestone in Pan-United’s journey to become a carbon-neutral ready-mix concrete company by 2050.
Using an electric-powered mixer truck will reduce the carbon footprint of transporting ready-mix concrete by 45 per cent compared to a fuel-powered truck. Moreover, using EVs in a highly dense urban environment like Singapore can reduce noise pollution significantly.

Mr Ken Loh (羅嘉遜), CEO of Pan-United said, “Pan-United is excited to welcome EVs into Singapore’s built environment industry. We hope to eventually operate a substantial fleet of electric concrete mixer trucks for our day-to-day operations. This step marks an exciting new venture in exploring alternative fuel technology and a deepening commitment to accomplish Pan-United’s aim of being a carbon-neutral ready-mix concrete company by 2050.”
He added: “Pan-United has actively been exploring ways to reduce our embodied and operational carbon emissions. This includes the use of alternative fuels and electric gensets in our operations to lower our carbon footprint. We will continue to actively explore new and innovative solutions and products to decarbonise and accelerate the global climate transition.”
Pan-United took delivery of the truck yesterday from SANY, a Chinese multinational heavy machinery manufacturing company. The electric-powered truck has a sizeable 350 kWh battery, which serves up to 360 kW at peak power, and takes two hours to achieve a full charge. For comparison, a typical Category A passenger EV with a battery capacity of 78 kW takes roughly half an hour to charge fully.
