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. The ETP3 uses a 50.3 kWh NMC battery which has a range of 269 kilometers in a combined WLTP cycle, in cities up to 310 kilometers is possible. The range of the ETP3 will drop significantly when the Van is at full load.

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.
