On September 3, the “Worry-Free Long Journeys, Intelligent Wealth-Creation Roads – BYD’s 10,000th New Energy Light Truck T5 Offline Ceremony” was held at the BYD Smart Truck Factory in Huai’an. Since its launch, the BYD Light Truck T5 has quickly won favor from customers in express delivery, freight transportation, supermarket distribution, cold chain logistics, and other fields, thanks to its leading three-electric (battery, motor, electronic control) technology, reliable quality, and precise adaptability to urban distribution scenarios.
10,000 Units Offline Marks a New Start, with Outstanding Reliability for the Future
As a main force in urban distribution, light trucks shoulder the important responsibility of ensuring the smooth flow of the “last mile” for people’s livelihoods. The successful offline of the 10,000th BYD Light Truck T5 is not only the success of a single product, but also a key milestone in the large-scale and market-oriented development of domestic new energy light trucks.
Tian Chunlong, General Manager of BYD Commercial Vehicle Division, said: “What we are witnessing today is not just a 10,000-unit milestone, but also evidence of the large-scale breakthrough of China’s new energy commercial vehicle industry! Relying on core technologies such as Blade Battery, battery direct cooling technology, and BSC electric brake, the BYD Light Truck T5 has continuously made breakthroughs in range and energy efficiency, fully covering diverse scenarios such as urban distribution and cold chain logistics. This achievement stems from the ‘courage to think and act’ of the entire team, and is even more rooted in the intelligent manufacturing foundation of the Huai’an Smart Factory.”
From “small parcels” in express delivery to “fresh products” in cold chain, from “daily necessities” in supermarkets to “fresh fruits and vegetables” in communities – as the 10,000th BYD Light Truck T5 heads to the market, BYD Commercial Vehicles will continue to rely on its strong vertical integration capabilities and technological innovation to provide richer, more efficient, and greener solutions for urban distribution logistics.
Success Is No Accident; Products Are the Best Passport
The success of the BYD Light Truck T5 is no accident. Its core concept of “defining products by scenarios” is highly aligned with the characteristics of urban distribution, such as high frequency, medium-short distance, frequent stops, and strong road right requirements. The T5 offers two options – hybrid and pure electric – fully covering the needs of different scenarios and ensuring users in various fields can find the most suitable model.
The T5 supports DC fast charging, taking only about 15 minutes at the fastest to charge from 30% to 80% battery capacity. This matches the fragmented time between distribution tasks, greatly improving vehicle utilization and operational efficiency. Equipped with the Blade Battery, it not only features high safety and long service life, but also leads the industry in energy density, ensuring worry-free operation in both northern and southern China, as well as in winter and summer. Combined with the energy recovery system, its 100km electricity consumption is significantly lower than the industry average, bringing tangible operational cost advantages to customers.
The 10,000-unit milestone is just a new starting point. In the future, BYD Commercial Vehicles will continue to work with partners to jointly drive urban distribution into a new era of zero emissions, high efficiency, and sustainability, and build a green map for urban logistics.
