BYD T5EV Electric Cargo Van (132 kWh)

This is a 4.5‑tonne‑class pure electric cargo van, powered by a 132 kWh Blade Battery with a range of over 400 km. It’s purpose‑built for intercity line‑haul and heavy urban freight. Unlike the T4EV refrigerated model, this is a dry cargo van – no temperature control, just pure hauling capacity for cartons, pallets, parcels, building materials, furniture – you name it, it fits, and it fits a lot.

Cargo Box – How Much Can It Carry?

• Internal cargo box dimensions: 4030 × 2100 × 2120 mm

• That works out to roughly 18 cubic metres of space. Standard logistics pallets (1.2 m × 1 m) fit sideways or lengthways without a squeeze, and parcel bags are a breeze.

• Gross Vehicle Weight: 4,495 kg

• Curb weight: 3,310 kg

• That leaves about 1,185 kg for body and payload – compliant, legal, and stress‑free at the weighbridge.

Range & Recharging

• Range >400 km – not a lab number, but real‑world working range. Intercity runs like Guangzhou‑Shenzhen round‑trip? No problem. Multiple city delivery shifts? One charge covers a full day.

• 2C fast charging – plug in during lunch, and you’re back to 80% in 30‑60 minutes. Less charging time means more delivery runs – time is money.

Core Strength – Battery & Warranty

• 132 kWh Blade Battery – BYD’s flagship technology. Puncture it, crush it – no fire, no leakage. Fire risk, the biggest fear in logistics, is practically off the table.

• EV system warranty: 10 years or 800,000 km – whichever comes first. For a logistics operator doing 50,000‑60,000 km a year, that’s over a decade of coverage. Battery degradation is guaranteed, motor and controller repairs are on them. Your long‑term operating costs are virtually locked in – no more repair bills eating into your profits.

Chassis & Load Capacity

• Wheelbase: 3,360 mm – longer wheelbase means high‑speed stability, yet turning radius is reasonable for city manoeuvres.

• Leaf spring: 3/3+2 – one more leaf than the T4EV, giving extra load‑carrying capability – no sagging tail even with heavy cargo.

• Tires: 7.00R16 – the standard fit for 4.5‑tonne light trucks – tough, durable, and affordable to replace.

• Brakes: Front disc / rear drum – disc brakes offer better heat dissipation, drums deliver strong stopping power – a reliable combo for safety and longevity.

Cabin – Doesn’t Feel Like a Truck, Feels Like a Smart Car

This spec sheet is top‑tier in the light‑truck segment:

• 10.1‑inch multimedia display + DiLink intelligent connectivity – not just a screen, it does real work:

  • Remote vehicle status monitoring (battery level, location, door lock status)

  • Remote A/C on/off – cool down in summer, warm up in winter before you step in

  • Remote lock/unlock and remote power on/off

  • GPS navigation + in‑vehicle Wi‑Fi hotspot + intelligent voice control

  • Anti‑theft alarm notifications – get alerted the moment the vehicle is tampered with

• Full LCD instrument cluster – speed, charge, range – all clear at a glance

• Rotary gear selector – saves space and operates smoothly

• One‑button start + multifunction steering wheel + cruise control – reduces driver fatigue on long hauls

• Automatic air conditioning + power windows + central locking + remote key – everyday convenience, fully covered

• LED headlamps + DRL + automatic headlights – no fumbling when entering tunnels

• Rear parking sensors + rear‑view camera – clear visibility for docking and reversing in tight spots

Safety – Everything You Need

• ESC (Electronic Stability Control) – keeps the van stable on wet roads or during emergency lane changes

• ABS (Anti‑lock Braking System) – prevents wheel lock during hard braking

• HHC (Hill‑start Assist) – no rollback on slopes

• EPB (Electronic Parking Brake) – one‑touch hold, auto‑release on take‑off

Who Is This For?

• Intercity logistics operators – 400+ km range covers round trips without midday charging

• Express delivery companies – 18 m³ box holds more, reduces trip frequency

• Building material & furniture haulers – dual‑side and rear openings accommodate long planks and bulky items

• Fleet owners – 10‑year/800,000 km warranty keeps operating costs predictable, and drivers love the comfortable cabin – lower turnover, happier teams
