BYD T5EV Electric Refrigerated Truck (132 kWh)

This is a 4.5-tonne-class pure electric refrigerated truck, powered by a 132 kWh Blade Battery with a range over 320 km. It shares the same robust platform as the T5EV dry cargo van we covered earlier – but this one comes with a fully insulated refrigerated cargo box, purpose-built for temperature-sensitive freight: fresh produce, frozen goods, dairy, meat, seafood, pharmaceuticals – anything that needs a stable cold environment from pickup to delivery.

Cargo Box – Cold Storage on Wheels

• Gross Vehicle Weight: 4,495 kg

• Curb weight: 3,315 kg

• Payload margin after body and cargo: approximately 1,180 kg – compliant, legal, and ready for work.

Range & Charging – Built for Full-Day Routes

• Driving range >320 km – covers urban multi-stop deliveries and short intercity cold-chain routes with confidence.

• 2C DC fast charging – top up during loading/unloading or meal breaks, and you’re back on the road in no time. Minimal downtime means more deliveries per day.

Battery & Warranty – The Long-Term Advantage

• 132 kWh Blade Battery – BYD’s industry-leading LFP chemistry. It doesn’t catch fire when punctured, doesn’t leak when crushed – safety you can count on, especially critical for refrigerated cargo that can’t afford delays from vehicle incidents.

• Battery & Electric System Warranty: 10 years or 800,000 km – whichever comes first.

• Chassis Warranty: 3 years or 100,000 km.

For a cold-chain operator doing 50,000–60,000 km per year, that’s over a decade of powertrain protection. Your long-term operating costs are locked in – no surprise repair bills eating into your margins.

Powertrain & Chassis – Built for Heavy Work

• Rated motor power: 70 kW

• Peak motor power: 150 kW – ample torque for fully loaded starts and highway cruising.
