Inchcape+ and BYD have launched the T9R electric lorry, a heavy-duty vehicle designed to boost business efficiency and sustainability. The T9R offers a zero-emission alternative to diesel lorries, featuring a driving range of up to 320 kilometres on a single charge with a full load of 28 tonnes. To encourage adoption, Inchcape+ and BYD are offering an exclusive $40,000 Early Adopter Rebate, alongside S$5,000 in Charging Credits and access to commercial-friendly charging points across the island.
Li Zhengxi, Director of Commercial Vehicles at Inchcape Singapore, stated, “With the Early Adopter Rebate, we are making it even more accessible for businesses to make the shift to electric lorries.” The T9R is powered by BYD’s Blade Battery technology, known for its durability and safety, and features 184kW fast-charging capabilities to minimise downtime.
The lorry is equipped with advanced safety features, including intelligent driver assistance systems and enhanced stability controls, making it suitable for sectors such as logistics, urban deliveries, and waste management. The T9R promises significant cost savings, reducing maintenance costs by up to 50% and saving businesses around S$30,000 annually in diesel expenses.
As global policies increasingly favour greener transportation, businesses investing in electric lorries like the T9R will be better positioned to meet future environmental regulations and benefit from potential tax incentives. The T9R represents a strategic investment in both sustainability and financial efficiency, offering a practical solution for modern commercial needs.
