Dongfeng EV45 2024

In July 2023, the Dongfeng EV45, alongside its electric commercial vehicle siblings, entered the Philippine market. As one of the pioneering electrified light commercial vehicles in the country, the EV45 offered Filipino buyers a sustainable option in its segment, making a notable impact upon its arrival.

The EV45 is driven by a robust 120 kW electric motor, generating 160 hp and an impressive 320 Nm of torque. Its energy comes from an 81.14 kWh Lithium Ion Phosphate (LiFePo4) battery pack, granting a driving range of 350 km. Power is transferred to the rear wheels through a one-speed automatic transmission.

Furthermore, with IP67 and IP68 ratings for the electric motor and battery pack respectively, the EV45 ensures resilience against flood damage to its vital components. When the time comes to top this truck up with power, owners have the convenience of standard h

As a dedicated workhorse, the EV45 is kitted with essential features for daily operations. It offers both AC and DC charging ports, enabling users to choose between standard home charging or fast chargers. Furthermore, its electric motor and battery pack hold robust IP67 and IP68 ratings respectively, guaranteeing resilience against floods. Additionally, the EV45 comes equipped with power windows, keyless entry, automatic headlights, and a low-speed warning system for added safety and convenience.

Looking at the EV45, it’s easy to infer that the EV45 is a commercial vehicle of the future. Dongfeng’s light electric truck has sharp headlights, and a nose that has flowing curves. Another design feature that you will spot is the lack of a grille on the front end. Since the EV45 has no radiator to cool, the EV45 has a solid nose that is reminiscent of electric passenger vehicles. This design choice not only gives the EV45 a distinct face, it also improves aerodynamic efficiency while on the move.

Inside the EV45, simplicity and durability reign supreme. However, the design of the EV45’s interior is more akin to a passenger vehicle rather than a work truck. A straightforward center console enhances usability, placing controls conveniently within reach for both driver and passenger. Essentially, the interior of the EV45 reflects its identity as a reliable work truck: uncomplicated, functional, resilient, and easy to maintain but with the fresh relaxing air of a passenger vehicle.
