Buying decision
The EvCompass verdict
The key arguments drawn from the published data and the EvCompass editorial summary.
The motor makes 250 kW continuous and 360 kW peak, and the tractor's 18,000 kg gross vehicle weight puts this variant in distribution work, not long haul. The list price of 792,700 CNY, roughly 101,000 EUR or 118,000 USD, makes it a cheap choice in the Chinese market. It is sold only in China, without EU homologation, so for a Polish buyer it remains a curiosity, not an offer.
Strengths
- A 282 kWh battery paired with swapping gives the 4x2 version an alternative to a long charger stop.
Weaknesses
- No published range or gross combination weight makes the operating radius hard to judge before ordering.
