Dongfeng Tianlong KL 6x4 battery-swap BEV

282 kWh, 200 km and a Chinese guide price of 480,000 yuan — the Tianlong KL is one of the cheapest heavy electrics we could put a number on.

Buying decision

The EvCompass verdict

The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.

Converted at the August 2026 rate that is roughly 61 thousand euros for a 6x4 tractor rated at 39 tonnes of combination weight — a sum that would not buy even a used electric of this class in Europe. The 282 kWh battery is swap-capable, which explains the modest 200 km. Not available outside China.

Strengths

  • A 200 km range and 282 kWh pack give this battery-swap configuration a complete numerical profile.

Weaknesses

  • Outside China there is neither sales nor service.

Measurement basis
Chinese trade press figure for the 282 kWh swap variant; basis not stated, loaded manufacturer claim. Dongfeng separately quotes 450-500 km for a 600 kWh underfloor variant at 1.1 kWh/km, also an unverified manufacturer figure.

These are manufacturer-published figures gathered through EvCompass research.

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.

Chinese guide prices: CNY 480,000 for the pure-electric Tianlong KL tractor; CNY 490,000 for the 6x4 high-roof 400 kWh CATL version (dealer quote CNY 488,000); CNY 490,000 for the standard-load 6x4 battery-swap version (350 kWh, 240 km). One dealer listing quotes CNY 760,000 for a swap variant - a large spread, probably reflecting whether the battery is bought or leased under a battery-as-a-service scheme, which is common for Chinese swap trucks. At 1 EUR = 7.85 CNY (ECB, 22 Aug 2026) CNY 480,000 is approximately EUR 61,000 - conversion by this agent, not quoted by any source. This makes it roughly one fifth the price of a European long-haul e-tractor.

Research notes

The sources and research notes behind the figures, claims and editorial assessment.

IMAGE CAVEAT - the only photography found is a Chinese trade-press walkaround on 360che.com (images served from its kcimg.cn CDN); there is no Dongfeng press image library for its BEV tractors, and the images are detail-heavy rather than clean profile/front/rear press shots. Do NOT substitute the visually identical Dongfeng KL fuel-cell tractor images that circulate on chinatrucks.org. Type approval DFH4250DBEV. 282 kWh CATL LFP, 360 kW / 2,400 Nm, kerb 10.7 t (yunshuren type-approval data) vs 13.4 t (The Autopian, probably including the swap module and a larger pack - flagged as a conflict), gross mass 25 t, traction GVW 39.07 t, max speed 89 km/h. Motor 360 kW from SNC Power Train (Shanghai). CATL supplies packs from 282 to 600 kWh across the KL BEV family. Dongfeng released 103 new-energy model variants for its annual line-up. Related Dongfeng-group model: the Chenglong H5 Ultra-light pure-electric tractor with a 400 kWh CATL pack and 300+ km claimed range.
