What are the advantages of new-energy heavy-duty trucks?

Energy costs have dropped significantly: The electricity consumption of a fully electric heavy-duty truck is approximately RMB 0.7–1 per kilometer, just one-third of that of a diesel truck (RMB 2.4–3 per kilometer). With an average annual mileage of 100,000 kilometers, energy expenses can be reduced by more than RMB 150,000 per year.

　　Energy costs have dropped significantly: The electricity consumption of a fully electric heavy-duty truck is approximately RMB 0.7–1 per kilometer, just one-third of that of a diesel truck (RMB 2.4–3 per kilometer). With an average annual mileage of 100,000 kilometers, this can translate into annual energy cost savings exceeding RMB 150,000.

　　More cost-effective maintenance: With no engine, transmission, or other complex components, there’s no need for oil‑filter changes, reducing annual maintenance costs by 40%–50% compared to diesel vehicles.

　　Short payback period: In short‑haul applications such as ports and mining sites, costs can typically be recovered in about one year, outperforming the 3–4 years required for diesel vehicles.

　　Substantial vehicle‑purchase subsidies: Scrapping operational freight trucks meeting National Emission Standard IV or lower and replacing them with new‑energy heavy‑duty trucks can qualify for a subsidy of up to RMB 140,000.

　　Right-of-way priority: In many cities, vehicles enjoy unrestricted access; in certain areas, toll‑free or reduced‑toll policies further ensure operational efficiency.

　　High energy-replenishment efficiency: Battery-swap mode takes only 3–5 minutes, comparable to refueling time, alleviating range anxiety.

　　Green and environmentally compliant: Achieves zero emissions and low noise throughout the transportation process, with each vehicle reducing carbon emissions by more than 2,400 tons annually, meeting stringent environmental standards.

　　Enhanced driving experience: The electric motor delivers strong initial torque, low noise, and minimal vibration, while the air-suspension seats help reduce fatigue on long journeys.
