Dongfeng TZ5E 6x4 Electric Dump Truck: 400 kWh CATL LFP for Urban Construction and Aggregates

Dongfeng TZ5E 6x4 electric dump truck in urban construction

The Dongfeng TZ5E 6x4 pure electric dump truck is the mid-capacity tipper in our export line-up, designed for urban construction sites, municipal solid waste handling, and mid-size quarry or cement plant aggregate haulage where the TZ3V 8x4 would be over-specified. With a CATL 400 kWh LFP traction battery, dual 315 kW continuous / 510 kW peak motors, and a 25-tonne gross vehicle weight rating, the TZ5E is the electric equivalent of the most popular diesel 6x4 tipper in China and offers the same body volume at a fraction of the energy and service cost.

400 kWh CATL LFP Battery

The TZ5E is built around a 400 kWh CATL LFP pack operating at 618 V nominal. The pack uses the same cell-to-pack structural architecture as the larger TZ3V, with liquid cooling and an integrated battery management system (BMS) that balances cells within 2 percent state-of-charge tolerance over the entire service life. The system is warranted for 5 years or 300,000 km in off-road and construction applications, with the same thermal-stability and cycle-life advantages as the larger unit.

On a typical urban construction cycle (5 km loaded + 5 km empty return, frequent stops, low-to-medium gradient), operators report 150 to 200 km of real-world range on a full charge, easily covering a full 8-hour shift. Opportunity charging at the lunch break and end of shift can extend daily operating hours indefinitely.

Drivetrain and Performance

The TZ5E uses a permanent-magnet motor rated at 315 kW continuous and 510 kW peak, with 3,100 Nm peak torque. A single-reduction rear axle transmits power to the rear tandem, and a multi-speed automated transmission provides launch and grade control. Top speed is governed at 90 km/h, and gradeability at full GVW is 30 percent.

Regenerative braking on the TZ5E returns energy on every deceleration event, which in stop-and-go urban traffic significantly reduces brake wear and adds 5 to 8 percent to daily operating range.

Body and Chassis

The standard TZ5E body measures 6,200 mm x 2,300 mm x 1,400 mm (19.9 m³ capacity) and is built from T700 high-tensile steel with a HYVA 169-series front-end tipping cylinder. The chassis uses a parallel ladder frame rated for 25-tonne GVW with a front 7-tonne axle and a tandem 2 x 11-tonne rear axle group. Ground clearance is 280 mm unladen, suitable for unsurfaced construction access roads and urban kerbs.

Comparison vs Diesel 6x4 Tipper

For fleet operators comparing the TZ5E to a conventional diesel 6x4 dump truck, the most important economic differences are:

Export Configuration Variants

The TZ5E is available in left-hand-drive and right-hand-drive configurations, with tropical cooling, sand-dust pre-cleaner, reinforced suspension, and mining-compound 11.00R20 or 12.00R20 tyres as standard export options. Charging interfaces include GB/T (China), CCS2 (Europe / Middle East / parts of Africa), and NACS on request.
