Investment holding company CSH Alliance is set to enter the commercial electric vehicle (EV) scene by collaborating with Chinese automaker BYD, with its wholly-owned subsidiary, Alliance EV (AEV), having inked a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with BYD Malaysia, The Star reports.
In a statement, the company said that aside from helping industry players adopt zero-emission commercial vehicles, it will also explore the distribution of fully-electric commercial vehicles and to provide 4S services (sales, service, spare parts and body/paint services), with the possibility of local assembly down the line.
The company said that AEV will be tasked with distributing and supplying the BYD T3 all-electric van as well as after-sales service aspects together with the spare parts and warranty packages. One of the clients for the T3 is said to be Line Clear Express and Logistics, a logistics and courier company in which CSH Alliance owns a 15% equity interest.
The BYD T3 is a compact electric van measuring in at 4,460 mm long, 1,720 mm wide and 1,875 mm tall, with a cargo volume of 3,800 litres. It’s powered by an AC permanent magnet synchronous motor offering 134 hp (100 kW) and 180 Nm, and performance figures include a 100 km/h top speed.
Juicing the motor is a proprietary BYD lithium-ion NCM battery with a capacity of 50.3 kWh, which offers the van a travel range of up to 300 km on a single charge. Charging via AC at 6.6 kW takes 7.6 hours to get from 0-100% state-of-charge, while DC charging at 40 kW takes 1.3 hours to fully charge the battery.

Dat ugly frontage. If a grille is not needed, why cannot design it to look like Wish?
Is name as Van for commercial..use only..not for Family car..

Why here only Chinese inferior EVs are in Focus and even they are not saleable and bad quality, they are imported here? other ASEANS focus on Japan and Korean and EU EVs. we are losing the grip with making it so easy for Chinese EVs to bring their cars that are not even selling well in China here. if you are right, import NIO and XPeng. these are good cars.

Koreans are also here la bro. Should ask Japan brands why are they stingy to give us EV, why not let P2 rebadge cheap EV for us.
Would be interesting if they offer a window van version people carrier version of this. If the price is low enough, it may attract some buyers.
Hmmm..anyone else think 300km range for a commercial van is a bit low? And this is best effort in theory and when the battery is new.
make some affordable 4 seater pick-up la. Good for economy. Semua pickup now cc besar and harga tinggi. How sme can improve?
