新能源重卡企业苇渡科技近日陷入严重危机。该公司员工被拖欠4月至6月工资,拖欠期限长达三个月[1],超过20名员工已提交劳动仲裁[1]。根据公司下发的离职结算单,员工薪资补付时间表为:7月31日前补齐4至5月社保、4月份公积金;7月31日发放4月工资;9月30日发2025年年终奖[1]。
公司面临的问题远不止薪资拖欠。美国国家公路交通安全管理局(NHTSA)调查发现,苇渡科技交付的4辆重卡中至少2台存在VIN码造假问题,标注产地为美国佐治亚州,实际为中国制造,每项违规罚款近2.8万美元[1]。美国联邦法院于2026年1月判决要求苇渡科技向北美业务负责人杰森·吉斯支付41.3万美元欠薪与遣散费[1]。
创始人疑似存在资产转移行为。欧洲负责人指控挪用60万至80万欧元用于个人篮球赞助、10万欧元租赁私人飞机[1],同时创始人被曝向比利时转移研发资料[1]。苇渡科技曾在4年内完成8轮融资,累计融资超5亿美元[1],并累计通过中国256项、欧洲125项、美国112项测试,斩获559项证书[1]。
Weidu Technology, a new energy heavy-duty truck manufacturer, has encountered severe operational and legal troubles spanning multiple jurisdictions. The company has defaulted on employee wages for three months, with staff members owed salaries from April through June [1]. Over 20 employees have filed for labor arbitration, while settlement agreements promise wage recovery by July 31 and year-end bonuses by September 30, 2025 [1].
The crisis extends beyond domestic labor disputes. A U.S. federal court ruling in January 2026 required Weidu to pay approximately $413,000 in back wages and severance to Jason Geese, its North American business head [1]. The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) investigated the company for Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) falsification—at least two of four heavy trucks examined had VIN codes falsely labeling their origin as Georgia, U.S., when they were actually manufactured in China, with each violation subject to fines of roughly $28,000 [1]. Additionally, the company's European leadership accused founder Han Wen of misappropriating $600,000 to $800,000 for personal basketball sponsorships and $100,000 for private jet rentals [1].
Concerns about potential asset transfer have also emerged, with the founder allegedly shifting research and development materials to Belgium [1]. Weidu Technology completed eight funding rounds over four years, raising over $500 million cumulatively [1], and obtained 559 certifications across Chinese, European, and American testing standards [1].
