On July 11, 2025, the highly anticipated launch event of Yutong Light Truck’s high-end flagship model T6 was grandly held in Zhengzhou. With the theme “Moving Forward with Innovation, Envisioning the Future through Intelligence”, the event saw Peng Hao, General Manager of Yutong Light Truck, and Wang Qian, Director of the Technical Center, release Yutong Light Truck’s value proposition and the new model. Mao Baoguo, CEO of Electric Vehicle Resources; Liu Na, Editor-in-Chief of China Truck Network; representatives of strategic partners, industry media, and customer representatives gathered to witness the official debut of this high-end flagship model. The launch of the high-end flagship T6 not only showcases Yutong Light Truck’s technical strength but also precisely responds to market demands.
Breaking Industry Involution with Value, Yutong Light Truck Leads High-Quality Development of New Energy Commercial Vehicles
At the event, Peng Hao, General Manager of Yutong Light Truck, stated that against the industry backdrop where the penetration rate of new energy logistics vehicles exceeds 24% and over half of the cold chain sector has adopted new energy vehicles, “cost reduction without revenue growth, or revenue growth without profit growth” has become a common dilemma for logistics enterprises. As the market enters an era of value competition, the way to break through the involution lies in enterprises planning their strategies more long-term and conducting refined management around every node of people, vehicles, goods, and venues. The new energy era is not just a change in power form but a complete industrial revolution that reshapes and reconstructs business logic and boundaries through the reorganization of people, vehicles, goods, and venues.
Based on nearly 30 years of new energy technology accumulation, Yutong Light Truck has always adhered to the concept of “Value Leadership, Vision for the Future”. Through in-depth insight into customer needs and technological innovation, it has provided core solutions for breaking through industry bottlenecks. From extending the range of new energy light trucks from urban distribution to intercity and inter-provincial transportation, to empowering logistics enterprises with intelligent platforms for refined management, Yutong Light Truck has not only achieved dual breakthroughs in product reliability and operational efficiency but also built a full-value chain system of “products + services + ecology”.
The launch of the high-end flagship light truck T6 marks the comprehensive improvement of Yutong Light Truck’s T-series product matrix – from 63kWh for flexible urban distribution to 176kWh for long-distance intercity transportation, from the high-load King Kong version to the extreme cold-resistant Snow Dragon version. The full-scenario product layout further consolidates Yutong’s leading position in the new energy commercial vehicle field and becomes a key support for the implementation of Yutong Group’s “green and intelligent travel” strategy. In the future, Yutong will further promote the upgrading of new energy light trucks from “transportation tools” to “operational tools”, achieving high-quality operation in the new energy era through continuously value-preserving high-quality products, people-oriented business philosophy, and customer-centered refined management.
In-Depth Analysis of High-End Flagship T6: Perfect Integration of Product Value, Experience Value, and Operational Value
In the new product launch session, Mr. Wang Qian, Director of Yutong Light Truck Technical Center, detailed the many highlights and innovative technologies of the high-end flagship T6, giving the guests a deeper understanding of this high-end flagship product.
Yutong Light Truck has redefined the high-end flagship light truck with a value cube of product, experience, and operational value, helping logistics enterprises win every journey and seize new blue oceans. In terms of core performance, it is equipped with Yutong’s self-developed Rui Kong E platform, the “most powerful brain”, which integrates global real-vehicle operation experience and R&D data. Through the system of “self-developed three electric systems, self-controlled strategies, and self-verified scenarios”, it greatly improves vehicle performance and range. The new super energy battery system adopts CATL cells, with intelligent thermal management and differential pressure self-balancing technology, achieving a cycle life of 8500 times. Models with 155kWh and above batteries come standard with a 10-year/1 million-kilometer warranty, completely eliminating anxiety about battery life. The ultra-efficient motor, with a maximum efficiency of 98.13%, reduces energy consumption by another 5%. Based on 120,000 kilometers of annual operation, a 5% reduction in energy consumption can save 2,000 yuan.
In terms of driving experience, the T6 creates a “light truck freight first-class cabin”: the 1877mm ultra-wide cab allows seat through passage, and the high-roof version with a 1900mm×880mm foldable high-roof bunk meets the needs of two people resting. Designs such as 20 storage spaces, a 10.1-inch floating central control screen (integrating Huawei HiCar and 360 surround view), and a 220V external power supply make the cab a “mobile home”.
In terms of intelligence, the adoption of mobile phone key and keyless start technology, L2-level intelligent driving assistance system, and remote and near-field vehicle control functions have greatly improved the driving experience. In addition, the equipped Rui Dun system integrates functions such as ACC/LCC adaptive cruise system, AEB emergency braking system, LKA lane-keeping function, and DMS fatigue monitoring system, maximizing driver safety and reducing accident rates.
Working Together for a Win-Win Future, Yutong Light Truck Continues to Lead the New Era of New Energy Logistics
Before the launch event, Yutong Light Truck carried out a challenge activity of delivering lychees from Guangzhou to Zhengzhou. Ms. Liu Na, Editor-in-Chief of China Truck Network, announced the challenge results – the Yutong Light Truck T6 refrigerated truck delivered lychees from Guangzhou to Zhengzhou, with a standard load of 2 tons, full highway, full cooling at 3-5℃, and air conditioning on at 20℃ throughout the journey. The total driving distance was 1491.1 kilometers, taking 34 hours, with an average speed of 79.6km/h and 74.5kWh electricity consumption per 100 kilometers, achieving 2.1 kilometers per kWh. It realized the next-day delivery of lychees from Lingnan, demonstrating the efficient delivery capability of the high-end flagship T6.
It is worth noting that Yutong Light Truck implements the people-oriented spirit and always puts users at the center. At the press conference, Yutong Light Truck, in conjunction with China Truck Network, designated July 12 as “Yutong Truckers Care Day”. On-site, two truckers were presented with “care packages” and maintenance packages worth 1,888 yuan. The first 100 users to purchase the Yutong Light Truck T6 can enjoy the exclusive care package for Yutong truckers. This puts the people-oriented concept into practice, providing practical support for truckers and laying a solid foundation for industry development.
From 2021 to now, Yutong Light Truck has traveled 700 million kilometers with many partners. In the first half of this year, more than 10 Yutong light trucks have operated 120,000 kilometers. The 2025 H1 Long-Range Operation TOP 3 awarded on-site are the best witnesses of Yutong’s reliable products and high-quality services escorting the operation journey. In addition, at the event site, Yutong Light Truck also reached strategic cooperation with several logistics enterprises, fully demonstrating the market’s recognition of Yutong Light Truck’s high-end flagship T6. The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax, fully reflecting Yutong Light Truck’s influence and appeal in the industry.
From leading the trend of “oil to electricity” to deepening value in “electricity vs. electricity”, Yutong Light Truck has set one value benchmark after another. In the future, Yutong Light Truck will continue to take customer needs as the origin of innovation, deepen the research and development of three electric technologies and intelligent applications, expand product lines to cover more segmented scenarios, and contribute more to the high-quality development of China’s logistics industry.
