News Documents & data Context piece
  • Chinese companies are preparing to expand from electric passenger cars into electric trucks, including the 394-kilowatt eTopas 600.
  • The eTopas 600 uses a 621-kilowatt-hour CATL LFP battery, with a stated lifespan of up to 4,500 full charging cycles.
  • China accounted for 457,300 of roughly 520,000 electric truck sales, while sales outside China totaled about 63,000 zero-emission medium and heavy vehicles in 2025.

Chinese manufacturers are moving into electric trucks after establishing a dominant position in electric passenger cars, and the eTopas 600 is presented as an example of the push.

The truck produces 394 kilowatts, or 536 horsepower, and reaches a maximum output of 692 kilowatts, or 941 horsepower. Its 621-kilowatt-hour LFP battery comes from CATL. The battery has a stated life of up to 4,500 full charging cycles, while SuperPanther gives it a lifespan of up to 1.2 million kilometers, or about 745,000 miles, or eight years.

China already absorbs most electric-truck sales. Of approximately 520,000 electric trucks sold, 457,300 were registered in China. Outside China, global sales of zero-emission medium and heavy vehicles reached about 63,000 units in 2025, led by the United States, the European Union, and India.

The article portrays China as the driving force behind electric trucks, which are expected to gain momentum in the coming years. Longer-range zero-emission trucks could make long-distance routes more practical.
