Have you ever seen an electric light truck with millisecond-level braking? Or one that balances affordability with passenger-grade comfort? Meet the BYD T4—a standout at this year's Wuhan Auto Show, where it debuted at a price of just 95,800 RMB.
At the launch event, Tian Chunlong, General Manager of BYD’s Commercial Vehicle Division, emphasized that the T4 was developed with truckers in mind, addressing their core needs: "less hardship on the road, more pride behind the wheel, and fewer worries for their families." Beyond its competitive pricing, BYD has elevated the value proposition of new-energy light trucks.
**Tech Breakthrough: Redefining Safety and Profitability** Traditional light trucks have long prioritized "just enough" over safety and comfort, often compromising on critical features. Urban delivery drivers, who log over 10 hours daily, face outdated safety systems and grueling conditions. The T4 tackles this with its "Lingxi Electric Brake" system—a game-changer boasting a 140ms response time, cutting braking distance by 12 meters at 80km/h compared to conventional setups. Standard features like EPB, ESC, and a high-strength steel cage body with European crash certification further fortify safety.
Profitability is another strong suit, thanks to BYD’s in-house "three-electric" (battery, motor, and electronic control) system. The 62.3kWh LFP Blade Battery, paired with direct-cooling tech, boosts thermal efficiency by 20%, enabling "10-minute charging for 100km range" and a 330km CLTC-rated range. Its 150kW flat-wire motor delivers 204hp and 35% gradeability, rivaling 2.8L diesel trucks. Most notably, at 5.5km/kWh, the T4 saves drivers 20,000–30,000 RMB annually on fuel—enough to offset its sticker price in three years.
**Human-Centric Design: A Mobile Oasis** The T4’s cabin redefines commercial vehicle ergonomics with 65dB noise insulation, low-odor materials, self-cleaning AC, and DiLink smart tech—all hallmarks of BYD’s passenger-car expertise.
Beyond the driving experience, BYD supports the T4’s lifecycle with a 10-year/800,000km battery warranty, fleet management tools for efficiency, and fast-charging to minimize downtime. Six launch perks, including interest-free financing and free roadside assistance, further lower barriers to ownership.
From cost control to after-sales, every detail reflects BYD’s customer-first ethos. With 17 years of commercial vehicle R&D and vertical integration, the T4 isn’t just a truck—it’s a "profit partner" blending safety, efficiency, and comfort. No wonder attendees at Wuhan measured, noted, and photographed every inch—proof that BYD continues to set benchmarks in new-energy commercial vehicles.
