Although the “Sichuan roads” are difficult, Yutong is here to take on the challenge. Yutong’s 600 kWh electric dump truck embarked on a challenge under actual customer transportation conditions, starting fully loaded (with a round trip involving an empty return and a one-way distance of over 50 kilometers). The vehicle traveled a total of 400 kilometers over 11 hours, consuming 1.16 kWh of electricity per kilometer. Starting with a 99% state of charge (SOC), the vehicle ended with an SOC of 22%, estimating a range of 495 kilometers on a full charge. Based on Chengdu’s off-peak electricity price of 0.3 yuan per kWh and a charging service fee of 0.3 yuan, the charging cost per kWh is 0.6 yuan, resulting in an average transportation cost of only 0.7 yuan per kilometer for Yutong’s 600 kWh dump truck.
This challenge, the industry’s first real-world endurance test for a 600 kWh dump truck, comprehensively demonstrated Yutong’s comprehensive endurance capabilities. It proved Yutong’s technological advantages with facts and alleviated users’ range anxiety regarding fully loaded long-distance transportation with electric dump trucks.
Undeterred by the “difficulty of Sichuan roads,” technological prowess ensures worry-free endurance.
Driven by factors such as national policies and cost reduction, electric heavy-duty trucks have become the focus of the transportation industry’s transformation. Users have been urgently seeking dump trucks with lower energy consumption, longer endurance, and higher reliability. As a central city in the southwest, Chengdu boasts one of the most complex engineering construction environments in China. The real-world test of Yutong’s 600 kWh dump truck in Chengdu representatively verified its technological strength.
Long endurance and low energy consumption: Equipped with BC5 battery cells, Yutong’s 600 kWh dump truck can utilize up to 5% of its SOC, with a motor efficiency exceeding 97.5% and high energy conversion efficiency, providing a 10% advantage in endurance over the industry. With these cutting-edge technologies, the 600 kWh dump truck can achieve “one recharge for all-day operation,” maximizing transportation efficiency.
Powerful and unafraid of road challenges: Dump trucks often operate under heavy loads and in harsh conditions, demanding higher power.Yutong’s 600 kWh dump truck boasts a maximum motor power of 610 horsepower and a peak torque of 3000 N·m, providing superior climbing ability.
Intelligent assistance for safety and reliability: The truck is equipped with intelligent assistance and warning functions such as lane departure warning, collision warning, and fatigue driving warning, along with a 360-degree surround view system to monitor the vehicle’s status and driver behavior in real-time, enhancing safety.
Saving 200,000 yuan per month: Multiple values contribute to cost reduction and efficiency enhancement.
The technological strength of Yutong’s heavy-duty trucks brings substantial benefits to users. Yang Xianqiang, General Manager of Chengdu Lixin Zhongbang Logistics Co., Ltd., stated, “After switching to Yutong’s electric dump trucks, our operating costs have significantly reduced. Compared to our previous diesel trucks, each Yutong dump truck saves over 10,000 yuan in monthly energy costs. With 15 Yutong dump trucks, we save nearly 200,000 yuan a month, providing a strong competitive advantage.”
Mr. Yang also mentioned the Yutong 600 kWh dump trucks purchased this year. During operation, they only need to be charged once during off-peak hours to meet daily demands. Furthermore, Yutong’s proactive management services ensure the efficient and stable operation of the company’s vehicles, creating greater value.
The successful challenge of Yutong’s 600 kWh dump truck demonstrates its low energy consumption, long endurance, and high safety. Yutong Heavy-Duty Truck continues to introduce more reliable products and create greater value for customers.
