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 at 2,500 Nm, and the tractor's 25,000 kg gross vehicle weight plus a 37,870 kg permitted towed mass matches China's 49-tonne combination limit — the variant supports both battery swap and twin-gun DC charging, though no swap time is published. The list price of 795,500 CNY, roughly 101,000 EUR or 118,000 USD, is about a fifth of a European long-haul e-tractor. It is sold only in China, without EU homologation, so for a Polish buyer it is a reference point, not an offer.

Strengths

  • A 200 km range at nearly 49 tonnes of combination weight is a rare published number in this segment, even sourced from trade press rather than homologation.

Weaknesses

  • The declared 200 km comes from trade press without a homologated cycle, making it an operating reference rather than a range certificate.

Battery-swap type approval (Chinese designation 换电式 / 'swap type'), CATL standardised heavy-truck swap block; dual-gun DC charging is also fitted. Chinese swap stations for this pack class quote roughly 3-6 minutes per exchange - no Hongyan-specific swap time was verified.

Measurement basis
Trade-press figure (The Autopian) for a fully laden Chinese 49 t swap tractor on one 282 kWh pack. No standardised cycle (no CLTC figure) is published for this model - treat as an operating-radius claim, not a homologated range.

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.

Manufacturer guide price (厂商指导价) CNY 795,500 (79.55 万元) for the base CQ4250BEVSS404; CNY 817,100 (81.71 万元) for the 标载版 'standard-load' trim and CNY 822,100 (82.21 万元) for the 复合版 'composite' trim, all listed on chinatruck.org. Chinese guide prices normally include 13% VAT and, on swap models, are quoted with the battery included. At the 2026-08-28 rate of 1 CNY = 0.1275 EUR / 0.1484 USD that is about EUR 101,000 / USD 118,000 - roughly a fifth of a European long-haul e-tractor.

Research notes

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

Type-approval sheet (chinatruck.org / chinatrucks.org): model code CQ4250BEVSS404, wheelbase 3850+1400 mm, 7.46 x 2.55 x 3.785 m, tractor GVW 25,000 kg, max towed mass 37,870 kg, curb 11,000 kg, top speed 85 km/h, front axle 7,000 kg, rear bogie 18,000 kg, 457 rear axle at 5.286, 12R22.5 18PR on 10 wheels, CATL LFP pack, motor TZ400XSTPG04 (CRRC Times Electric) 250 kW rated / 360 kW peak / 2500 Nm. gcwKg left null deliberately: no source states a gross combination weight. Curb 11,000 kg + 37,870 kg towed mass = 48,870 kg, consistent with the Chinese GB1589 49 t limit for a 6x4 tractor plus 3-axle semitrailer, which is what trade press means by '49-ton'. The 200 km range is a press figure, not manufacturer-homologated. Available also as 4x2 (separate record) and as a fuel-cell variant (CQ4250FCEVSS404A) not covered here.
