The ETP3 is a van with electric power coming from a passenger car van. BYD ETP3 has an unladen weight of 1.7 tonnes and a payload of 720 kilograms.

Meanwhile, for heavier loads, BYD introduced ETM6 as a solution. The ETM6 is an electric truck weighing 7.5 tons offering a payload of 3,990 kilograms. The ETM6 is 5.95 meters long, 2.10 meters wide and 2.94 meters high. BYD doesn't specify WLTP range here, but 200 kilometers on a full charge. Unlike the ETP3 with its NMC battery, the ETM6 uses an LFPÜ battery with a capacity of 126 kWh. The battery is expected to be charged up to 120 kW DC, and with a charging time of 1.2 hours, the battery will be full even faster than the battery from the ETP3.
“There is an exciting market potential for our all-electric, zero-emission BYD eTrucks in Hungary at a time when the world is coming together to tackle climate change,” said Isbrand Ho, Managing Director, BYD Europe.
