HANDAN, CHINA(
chinatrucks) -- On October 18, 300 Chenglong H5 heavy-duty tractors were handed over to a Steel Company based in Handan, Hebei province. These trucks will be put into service for transporting some raw materials and finished products over a short distance, so that the customer can transit more quickly away from diesel trucks.
The Chenglong H5 truck delivered this time is a standard load version. It is equipped with CATL’s lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 282kwh. A single charge delivers a maximum range of over 200 kilometers. And replacing the battery takes just five minutes. This ensures that the vehicles can be operated 24 hours a day and significantly improves their attendance.
Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor has seen its market strength as being able to offer lightweight products. Chenglong H5 is a lightweight product launched by Liuzhou Motor last November. It is extremely light with a curb weight of only 9.8 tonnes, which is half a ton lighter than its competitors.
Chenglong H5 battery swapping trucks have been delivered to Liuzhou, Baise, Yibin, Inner Mongolia across China to enable zero carbon logistictis in these regions.
