The light-weight designed truck is equipped with permanent magnet synchronous motors offering a maximum power of 350 kW and 2,800 Nm peak torque, remarkably outperforming diesel-powered vehicle. The high-energy-density LFP batteries supply with sufficient energetic sources to motion and mixing activities of the vehicle, enabling a NEDC-rated driving range of 250 KM.

What’s more important is the vehicle’s safety design. SANY claims to have partnered with world-leading battery supplier to augment the power source with thermal management technology, anti roll-over structure, and fire-proof protection system.

Other features of the battery vehicle includes self-heating function in low-temperature environment and advanced cooling system in high-temperature condition, so that the truck is versatile under a wide scope of work conditions. In addition, Truck Line – an IoT platform dedicated for SANY vehicle – provides with productivity-enhancing functions, such as real-time monitoring, performance analysis, remote diagnosis.
