BYD Showcases Electric Commercial Vehicle Lineup at Shenzhen CV Eco Expo

Chinese automaker BYD presented four electric commercial vehicles at the 2026 Shenzhen International Commercial Vehicle Ecosystem Expo, held from March 20 to 23 at the Shenzhen World Exhibition & Convention Center (Bao’an), highlighting its latest advances in electrification.

The lineup included the T4 electric light-duty truck, T5 light truck, Q3 tractor truck and C11 bus, covering multiple logistics and passenger transport scenarios.

The Q3 electric tractor is equipped with a 452 kWh Blade Battery and features a central drive system and highly integrated electronic controls. With a maximum power output of 410 kW, the model is designed to balance performance and energy efficiency. It is offered in multiple battery configurations, targeting short-haul operations such as ports, mining sites and dedicated intercity logistics routes.

The T4 electric light-duty truck is powered by a Blade Battery and a 150 kW motor, delivering 204 horsepower. It is capable of handling gradients above 35% at full load. The vehicle also achieves an energy efficiency of 5.5 km per kWh. BYD said the model addresses key drawbacks of conventional pickups, including safety limitations, high operating costs and restricted urban access, while combining utility with passenger-car-like comfort. Following its debut in Tokyo and market launches in Wuhan and Mexico, the T4 is set to enter Singapore as part of the company’s ongoing global expansion.

The T5, a 4.5-ton light truck, is available in both battery-electric and hybrid versions. It is designed for urban, suburban and intercity logistics applications. Leveraging BYD’s vertically integrated supply chain, the model incorporates technologies such as the Blade Battery, a high-power motor and 2C fast charging. These features aim to address common industry challenges including limited range, long charging times, high energy consumption and safety concerns.

The C11 bus is built on BYD’s e-BUS Platform 3.0 and adopts a cell-to-chassis (CTC) battery structure, a 1000V high-voltage architecture and silicon carbide components. It is also equipped with advanced systems including active suspension, iTAC and driver assistance functions. Compared with conventional diesel buses, the C11 offers improvements in safety, efficiency and ride comfort, and is designed to operate in a wide range of conditions, from extreme temperatures to high-altitude and mountainous environments.

BYD’s booth attracted strong visitor interest during the event. The company said it will continue to invest in new energy commercial vehicle technologies and expand its product portfolio to support the broader transition toward electrification in the commercial vehicle sector.
