Buying decision
The EvCompass verdict
The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
A top speed of 85 km/h and a 3,550 mm wheelbase say everything about the purpose: this vehicle moves trailers, it does not travel. Range in kilometres is not the measure here and BYD does not quote one — rightly. No price has been published.
Strengths
- A 31.5 t GCW and 18 t GVW clearly place the Q1 as a yard tractor rather than an attempt at an on-road tractor.
Weaknesses
- Charging power is unpublished, so the 217.6 kWh battery cannot be translated into a concrete stop time.

Price and availability
What it costs and whether it is available in Poland
Published price evidence and the Polish availability answer, kept together for a buying decision.
The manufacturer publishes no price for this vehicle.
In heavy transport that is the rule rather than the exception — makers quote on request.
No published price found for the Q1.
Poland
Not available in Poland
Not offered in Poland. The closest BYD product available in Europe is the EYT 2.0 electric yard tractor.

Sources and research
Research notes
The sources and research notes behind the figures, claims and editorial assessment.
Type approval BYD4180D8CBEV1. Kerb weight 8,000 kg, max speed 85 km/h, 5,955 x 2,550 x 3,080 mm, wheelbase 3,550 mm, PMSM BYD-3425TZ-XS-A. This is a short-wheelbase shunter/port tractor rather than a highway tractor. RELATED, SEPARATE MODEL: the BYD Q1M is a dedicated port tractor (approx. 5,364 x 2,692 x 3,200 mm, ~3 m wheelbase, 8 t kerb, 46 t combination weight, 53.1 km/h top speed, leaf-spring front / rigid rear, released c.2017-2018) - specs for the Q1M come only from a wiki aggregator and are NOT independently verified, so the Q1M has deliberately not been given its own record. BYD also sells the Q1R battery-electric terminal tractor (up to 75,000 kg GCW) internationally.
