Liuzhou, Guangxi, China - August 30, 2026 - In operating scenarios such as short-distance shuttle transport in mining areas, port distribution, and resource hauling, new energy heavy-duty trucks are increasingly becoming the mainstay of fleet operations. The Chenglong H5 Ultra-Light Electric Tractor is precisely tailored to these application needs, helping truckers easily meet the challenges of energy replenishment, range, and road conditions in resource transport.
The Chenglong H5 Ultra-Light Electric Tractor is equipped with a 400 kWh CATL lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, delivering a range of over 300 km under rated load conditions—enough for worry-free medium- and short-distance resource transport. It is paired with a Fast high-power motor with a peak power of 410 kW, providing abundant power and easily handling heavy-load climbing in mining areas. The 500 A dual-gun fast charging system can charge the battery from 20% to 80% in just 40 minutes, enabling efficient energy replenishment during loading and unloading breaks and keeping all-day operations running smoothly.
Beyond range and charging, the vehicle's lightweight performance is equally noteworthy. A large number of components are made from aluminum alloys and high-strength composite materials. Combined with 35 lightweight technologies—including battery frame process upgrades and structural topology optimization—the vehicle's curb weight is controlled at approximately 8.9 tonnes, about 900 kg lighter than comparable products in its class. Over the course of a year, this can help truckers earn over RMB 36,000 in additional income.
Lightweight must also mean reliable. The cab of the Chenglong H5 Ultra-Light Electric Tractor adopts a keel frame structure with integrated doors, with a high-strength steel bar frame covered by high-strength steel plates, forming a dual armor protection. The frame uses high-strength steel plates formed through one-time stamping, delivering both strength and durability. The three-electric system (battery, motor, and electronic control) comes from tier-one mainstream brands and has undergone rigorous new energy-specific testing and validation. It features IP68 and IP6K9K protection ratings and provides four layers of safety protection—high-voltage safety, charging/battery swap safety, water wading safety, and real-time battery monitoring—ensuring reliable operation across various working conditions.
The vehicle adopts an ASIL-C vehicle control strategy with deep energy flow management technology, intelligently adjusting regenerative intensity based on flat or sloping road conditions. The multi-stage energy recovery system improves kinetic energy recovery efficiency by 30% to 55%, achieving comprehensive energy savings of 15% under the same operating conditions. Combined with the reduced energy consumption brought by lightweighting, this dual energy-saving effect results in exceptionally low operating costs.
Resource transport is becoming the first segment where battery-electric Heavy Trucks have gained commercial traction—with fixed routes, short round trips, and mature energy replenishment conditions, electrification in mining areas and ports is accelerating. With a lighter curb weight and lower energy consumption in its class, the Chenglong H5 Ultra-Light Electric Tractor offers fleets a competitive option.
