Whether through installments, full payment, or leasing, many users will first choose Yutong light trucks when using 4.2-meter electric trucks for long-distance operations. In no time, the advantages of long battery life, large capacity, and high comfort made Yutong T5 products popular across the country. This rising star among light truck brands has surged to become a market mainstream. However, a single product line is destined not to go far; covering different market segments with multiple products is the way to grow and strengthen. For this reason, Yutong has launched the T6 electric light truck, specially built for long-distance transportation.
All-New Wide-Cab, Factory-Fitted Living Cabin
A refreshed appearance is the most direct feature distinguishing Yutong T5 from T6. Compared with the starry grille of Yutong T5, the front grille of T6 is more concise, with a fully enclosed design that better fits the appearance style of large wide-body light trucks. Moreover, Yutong T6 can provide personalized custom colors according to customer needs, including Starry Blue, Space Silver, Cloudy Mountain Blue, Polar White, etc.
Yutong T6’s headlights use LED light sources with built-in lenses, offering excellent service life and lighting effects. The daytime running lights are designed with the “awakened lion” as an element, paired with bright lenses, which are as sharp as the eyes of an awakened lion.
The rearview mirrors have been upgraded to all-new low-drag integrated mirrors, with the “YUTONG” chrome logo on the mirror frame, showcasing exquisite overall craftsmanship. These mirrors also feature electric heating, and the lenses are all designed with large-curvature glass to ensure a comprehensive view of the vehicle’s rear.
The deflector adopts an adjustable design, which can perfectly match 2.1m, 2.3m, or even taller carriage bodies—whether it’s a box or high-sided carriage for general cargo transportation, or a refrigerated carriage for cold chain transport, this adjustable deflector can minimize wind resistance during high-speed driving.
Yutong T6 also offers a high-roof version, which adds a high-roof rest area similar to that of heavy trucks above the cab. The interior is equivalent to a living cabin, with a full-size bunk just like in heavy trucks. This way, long-distance drivers can enjoy better resting conditions; if there are two people in the vehicle, one can sleep on the upper bunk and the other on the lower one. This design can be called a high-roof double bunk in light trucks.
The rear of the cab is widened, which not only increases the adjustment range of the driver’s seat back but also enhances the cab space.
Inside Yutong T6: Luxury in the High-Roof Interior
The internal width of Yutong T6’s cab reaches 1877mm, the widest in the industry, and the seats are designed as a continuous bench with no bulge between the driver and passenger seats. Drivers can lie down to rest anytime, and the passenger seat headrest can be removed and inserted into the side of the seat cushion to serve as a pillow.
The effect is as shown in the diagram.
The driver’s seat is an airbag suspension seat used in many high-end vehicles. This seat has a high suspension stroke and multiple damping levels, with thickened seat cushions and backrests—almost on par with those in heavy trucks. It also supports tilt adjustment, lumbar support, and ventilation/heating functions.
The steering wheel features the new family design of 2025 Yutong light trucks, with an outer ring wrapped in Nappa leather and inner ring with gold-plated trim. It integrates functions such as cruise control and Bluetooth calls. However, the outer ring of the steering wheel is white, so maintaining its cleanliness will require higher standards from the driver.
The shift mechanism adopts a stalk-type design similar to Mercedes-Benz, with good texture. This design also saves space in the cab and is convenient for the driver to operate.
The dashboard is equipped with a 10.1-inch floating LCD screen, integrating 360° surround view, mobile phone connectivity, online entertainment, air conditioning control, and other functions. To ensure operational safety, Yutong T6 also has quick-adjustment buttons for the air conditioning in the lower button area—after all, physical buttons give users a greater sense of security.
Compared with previous Yutong light trucks, the interior of T6 is more premium. The dashboard is wrapped in leather, and all visible surfaces are soft-touch materials. The air outlets are designed in a passenger car style, making the interior almost free from the traditional style of commercial vehicles.
Next, let’s look at the interior design of the high-roof section. Many truck drivers are most concerned about the size of the bunk. The bunk has a foldable structure, controlled by gas struts for deployment. When fully unfolded, its size reaches 1900x880mm (1.9 meters long and 88 centimeters wide), which is more than enough for daily rest.
The high-roof area is also equipped with independent air conditioning vents, reading lights, storage slots, bilateral ventilation windows, and safety belts as required by regulations, greatly improving the driver’s resting environment.
The ventilation windows open from the bottom and can be propped up for interior ventilation, similar to the way side windows open in RVs.
Rui Kong E Platform: Self-Developed Three-Electric Technology, Stable Quality and Long Battery Life
All Yutong new energy commercial vehicles adopt the Rui Kong E platform, with self-developed three-electric (battery, motor, controller) and core technologies, featuring high integration, low energy consumption, and lightweight advantages. Its battery life leads the industry by 25%.
Yutong T6 uses self-developed Shenlan batteries, available in three capacities: 128kWh, 155kWh, and 176kWh. Under standard load conditions, the maximum range exceeds 600km, perfectly meeting inter-provincial long-distance transportation needs.
Moreover, batteries with 155kWh and above capacities all come with a 10-year/1 million-kilometer warranty and 8,500 charge cycles. Calculated at one charge per day, the battery can last 23 years, fully covering the entire service life of the vehicle.
The vehicle is driven by an electric drive axle, equipped with Yutong’s self-developed ultra-efficient flat-wire motor, which has advantages such as high torque and high transmission efficiency. The motor has a rated power of 65kW and a peak power of 120kW, with an efficiency of ≥97.5%.
For users who travel long distances frequently, the weight of their cargo can vary, so stronger load-bearing capacity is always better. Yutong T6 uses a front 3-leaf and rear 5+3-leaf leaf spring suspension, high-strength steel frame rails, and large-tonnage axles, which can handle heavy loads with ease, giving users full confidence in driving.
The upper carriage is also a Yutong factory-fitted product, with cathode electrophoresis technology applied to the surface treatment, ensuring that non-scratched areas remain rust-free for ten years. The details of the carriage have also been improved compared to previous products, with new anti-collision blocks added to prevent the carriage door from colliding with the body when opened, extending its service life.
Yutong T6 offers various upper carriage options, including box trucks, high-sided trucks, and refrigerated trucks, covering different freight scenarios. All upper carriages are factory-fitted, with strict quality control in terms of craftsmanship and quality, providing customers with the best solutions.
Conclusion
In recent years, Yutong Light Truck has continuously delivered satisfactory results to the market. After launching products with “fuel-electric equivalent range”, it has developed the Yutong T6, which offers a better working and resting environment for truck drivers and higher safety. Although it is not the first high-roof light truck in China, its experience and concept are more advanced than similar products. Coupled with Yutong’s experience and foundation in special-purpose vehicle and RV manufacturing, its quality is naturally more reliable.
At the same time, the launch of Yutong T6 further improves Yutong Light Truck’s full-scenario, long-range product matrix, providing customers with suitable products from short-distance to long-distance transportation.
