On October 9, 2026, BYD’s 150,000th new-energy commercial vehicle — the Q3 pure-electric tractor — officially rolled off the line at the BYD Huai’an Smart Truck Factory. From 10,000 to 150,000 units, eighteen years of dedication bear witness to the leap of the commercial vehicle business from technology exploration to large-scale application across diverse scenarios. This milestone landing on the Q3 not only embodies the fruits of long-term technology accumulation and industrial collaboration, but also sends a strategic signal that growth is shifting toward the truck business and the focus is on the long-haul heavy-duty truck market.
From Questioning to Breakthroughs: Leading the Green Transport Transition
In the early stage of new-energy commercial vehicles, range, cost and reliability once sparked industry doubts. Facing these doubts, BYD entered the market through city buses, gradually opening up the market with technological breakthroughs and operating practice. After starting truck R&D in 2012, it steadily extended its R&D, manufacturing and service capabilities to logistics transport, forming a product matrix of "pure electric + hybrid" covering both light and heavy trucks. In 2025, the 10,000th T5 light truck rolled off the line and the T4 cab-forward truck was launched globally, further covering scenarios such as urban distribution and cold chain. From early demonstrations to large-scale application, this exploration has continuously driven the electrification of commercial vehicles.
Targeting Long-Haul Trucks: Tackling Transport Challenges with Core Technology
Long-haul trunk logistics features long mileage and high intensity, placing higher demands on charging efficiency, power performance and reliability. As a key model for the trunk transport market, the Q3 pure-electric tractor is built on self-developed three-electric technology, featuring a commercial-vehicle-dedicated Blade Battery and a peak motor power of 600 kW, with dual-gun fast charging, providing strong power and rapid energy replenishment for heavy-load transport. The 150,000th new-energy commercial vehicle landing on the Q3 also marks BYD’s accelerating push into the key market of long-haul heavy-duty truck electrification.
From Bus Exports to Truck Expansion: Building Zero-Carbon Transport Solutions
From leading the global wave of bus electrification to accelerating the expansion of new-energy trucks in the green logistics market, BYD’s commercial vehicles have now entered more than 70 countries and regions, with its new-energy buses winning the annual export championship for three consecutive years. Today, trucks are becoming an important direction for overseas business expansion. At this year’s IAA Hannover, BYD proposed an integrated zero-carbon logistics solution of "vehicle + charging network + intelligent fleet management + full-lifecycle maintenance", extending from vehicle sales to system solutions to help customers truly reduce costs, carbon emissions and improve efficiency.
Looking ahead, BYD Commercial Vehicles will strengthen coordination across R&D, supply chain and manufacturing to ensure global delivery; enhance full-chain quality and service capabilities to ensure efficient vehicle operation; and leverage its self-developed three-electric and vertical integration advantages to drive high-quality development of the truck business. With the 150,000-unit milestone as a new starting point, BYD Commercial Vehicles will continue to tackle the long-haul heavy-duty truck market, advancing green logistics with technological innovation and whole-industry-chain advantages, and contributing more to the low-carbon transformation of global transport.
