SAEAN Group unveiled its 30-ton articulated electric dump truck, which emits no noise or fumes, as a means to combat carbon emissions. The truck underwent a performance test on May 31 at the Construction Machinery Parts Research Center in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea.
Electric trucks, in particular, which rely on high-powered electric batteries, necessitate advanced safety systems to prevent fire hazards.
SAEAN’s 30-ton articulated electric dump truck is equipped with a 300kWh battery and a 250kW electric motor, enabling it to travel up to 100km on a single charge. Moreover, it can be used in construction and industrial operations in enclosed spaces such as tunnels, as it operates without an internal combustion engine, significantly reducing carbon emissions.
On May 31, SAEAN conducted a performance test of its 30-ton articulated electric dump truck (prototype) at the Construction Machinery Parts Research Institute’s Comprehensive Test Center in Gunsan, Jeollabuk-do, Republic of Korea. Officials from TD Lease in Japan, which signed a supply contract with SAEAN late last year, were present. SAEAN’s electric truck demonstrated impressive performance in off-road climbing and driving on a 1-kilometer circuit. It was also recognized as an eco-friendly electric dump truck with zero emissions, making it suitable for construction in enclosed spaces like tunnels.
On December 13, 2022, SAEAN signed a contract at the SAEAN Technical Research Center in the Republic of Korea to supply TD Lease of Japan with a 30-ton articulated electric dump truck. John Lee, CEO of SAEAN Motors, stated that production will begin next year, with an initial delivery of 45 units to Japan. He further emphasized that the 30-ton articulated electric dump truck will not only be utilized in Japan but also in global markets such as the United States, Australia, and Southeast Asia.
SAEAN has been at the forefront of the electric vehicle market with its development of various vehicles, including the ultra-small micro electric vehicle “WID-U,” the electric compact SUV “WID SUV,” the electric sports car “EXOD,” and electric forklift trucks for construction machinery.

Fintech Pulse: Your Daily Industry Brief (Chime, ZBD, MiCA)
As we close out 2024, the fintech industry continues to deliver headlines that underscore its dynamism and innovation. From IPO aspirations to groundbreaking regulatory milestones, today’s updates highlight the transformative power of fintech partnerships, regulatory evolution, and disruptive technologies. Here’s what you need to know.
Chime’s Quiet Step Toward Public Markets
Chime, the U.S.-based financial technology startup best known for its digital banking services, has taken a significant step by filing confidential paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO). As one of the most valuable private fintechs in the U.S., Chime’s move could potentially signal a renewed appetite for fintech IPOs in a market that has been cautious following fluctuating valuations across the tech sector.
With a valuation that reportedly exceeded $25 billion in its last funding round, Chime’s IPO could set a new benchmark for the industry. Observers note that its strong customer base and revenue growth may make it an appealing choice for investors seeking to capitalize on the digital banking boom. However, the timing and success of the IPO will depend on broader market conditions and the regulatory landscape.

ZBD’s Pioneering Achievement: EU MiCA License Approval
ZBD, a fintech company specializing in Bitcoin Lightning network solutions, has made history by becoming the first to secure an EU MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation) license. This landmark approval by the Dutch regulator positions ZBD at the forefront of compliant crypto-fintech operations in Europe.
MiCA, which aims to harmonize the regulatory framework for crypto-assets across the EU, has been a focal point for industry players aiming to establish legitimacy and expand their offerings. ZBD’s achievement not only validates its operational rigor but also sets a precedent for other fintech firms navigating the evolving regulatory landscape.
Industry insiders view this as a strategic advantage for ZBD as it broadens its footprint in Europe. By leveraging its regulatory approval, the company can accelerate its product deployment and establish trust with institutional and retail users alike.
