The KT7A electric washing truck is an EV truck purpose built for keeping Riyadh's boulevards, flyovers and pedestrian districts clean without the diesel rumble that disturbs early morning crowds. With a 262 to 282 kWh CATL LFP battery, the KT7A runs a full dawn shift of street washing and surface cleaning while drawing only grid electricity, a strong fit for Saudi municipalities upgrading to silent, emission free public cleaning.
Riyadh's flagship boulevard and downtown projects operate late into the night and restart at dawn, so cleaning windows overlap with pedestrian and traffic peaks. A diesel washing truck idles loudly while spraying, drawing complaints and sometimes breaching municipal noise rules during event hours. The KT7A's electric drivetrain runs at roughly 70 dB, quiet enough to work a boulevard before the city wakes, and produces zero exhaust near crowds and food venues.
The 262 to 282 kWh pack is sized for a full shift of pump and drive duty, and the chassis carries the water tank, high pressure pump and hose reels needed for boulevard, kerb and hard surface cleaning. For the kingdom's smart city and quality of life programs, an electric washing fleet is a visible signal of modern municipal service.
The KT7A is built on a 262 to 282 kWh CATL LFP battery, chosen for safety and long cycle life, with an 8 year or 4,500 cycle warranty covering the municipal service life. The pack drives both the chassis and the high pressure washing pump, so a single energy source runs the whole truck.
| Specification | KT7A Electric Washing |
|---|---|
| Battery | CATL LFP 262 to 282 kWh |
| Battery warranty | 8 years / 4,500 cycles |
| DC fast charge | 20 percent to 80 percent in 45 to 90 minutes |
| Battery swap | 5 to 6 minutes where station available |
| Drive noise | About 70 dB at work |
| FOB price range | USD 52,000 to 68,000 |
Riyadh's climate makes water efficiency a priority, so the KT7A can be paired with a recycling filtration option that recovers wash water for reuse on hard surfaces, cutting refill trips and municipal water draw. A depot DC charger of 120 kW to 180 kW restores 20 percent to 80 percent in 45 to 90 minutes during the heat of the day when the truck is staged, and electricity at USD 0.05 to 0.18 per kWh makes a full charge cost roughly USD 13 to 51, against USD 40 to 70 of diesel for a comparable washing shift.
For fleets near the Saudi Arabia electric truck market hubs in Riyadh and the eastern province, battery swap is an option where a swap station exists, turning a charge stop into a 5 to 6 minute swap that keeps the cleaning rotation on schedule.
The FOB price of USD 52,000 to 68,000 is modest against a diesel washing truck once operating savings accrue. Saudi diesel is around USD 0.9 to 1.4 per litre equivalent, and a washing truck idles much of its shift, so the energy gap is wide.
| Cost factor | Diesel washing | KT7A electric |
|---|---|---|
| Energy per shift | USD 40 to 70 diesel | USD 13 to 51 electricity |
| Scheduled maintenance | High, engine and pump drive | Low, electric drive |
| Noise complaints | Frequent at dawn | Rare, 70 dB |
| 5 year energy saving | Baseline | USD 25,000 to 45,000 |
A municipality running six to ten units across districts typically recovers the purchase premium within the budget cycle, while meeting visible clean air and quiet service targets.
Saudi tenders for municipal cleaning fleets increasingly ask for emission class, noise level, local service support and spare parts availability. The KT7A's electric drivetrain, 70 dB working noise and 8 year battery warranty address those points directly. Shaanxi Fenghan Trading Co., Ltd, the authorized Dongfeng EV exporter in Xi'an, provides Gulf specification trucks, Arabic documentation support and a spare parts plan suited to municipal maintenance schedules.
Start with two KT7A units on the busiest boulevard loops, measure kWh per kilometre and water use, then scale across districts. Operator training on charge timing and pump management extends battery life toward the full 4,500 cycles, and a recycling option can be added as the fleet matures.
Shaanxi Fenghan Trading Co., Ltd, the authorized Dongfeng EV exporter based in Xi'an, China, supports every KT7A export with a documented spare parts list, recommended consumables and a regional service plan so fleet uptime stays high for municipal duty. Key wear items such as brakes, tires, lights, pumps and the high voltage connectors are specified for local procurement where possible, while battery and motor specific components are shipped from stock with clear lead times. Operator and mechanic training covers safe high voltage isolation, charge management and the pump and filtration checks suited to Riyadh's dust and heat.
Remote diagnostics and a shared parts manual let local workshops resolve most issues without a factory visit, and the 8 year or 4,500 cycle battery warranty gives finance teams a predictable cost baseline. For Riyadh municipalities running the KT7A on dawn boulevard shifts, this support structure keeps the truck cleaning on schedule instead of sitting in a workshop waiting on parts.
Most overseas buyers purchase on FOB terms and arrange their own ocean or ro-ro shipping to Dammam or Jeddah, so the practical planning unit is the total landed cost rather than the sticker price alone. Typical lead time from confirmed order to Chinese port is 30 to 60 days depending on battery and tank configuration, and a phased rollout of two to four units lets a municipality validate kWh per kilometre before committing to a full district conversion. Shaanxi Fenghan Trading can quote a package that includes the truck, a depot charger specification and the spare parts kit so the buyer receives a ready to operate solution.
For municipalities comparing the KT7A against continued diesel use, the deciding metric is lifetime cost per kilometre cleaned, and the electric truck's lower energy and maintenance line items compound across a multi year budget. Requesting a written quote with battery size, tank and pump configuration and delivery terms is the first concrete step toward electrifying a Riyadh cleaning fleet with confidence and a clear payback model.
Saudi Arabia's quality of life and smart city programs put a premium on quiet, emission free public services, and an early moving municipality can show visible results on its flagship boulevards while meeting tender points on noise and emissions. The KT7A's 262 to 282 kWh CATL LFP pack and 8 year warranty remove the two biggest fears about electric trucks, range and battery life, leaving only the step of installing a depot charger and a water recycling option.
Taken together, the case for the KT7A in Saudi Arabia is about sequencing: order early, train crews, build the charging routine, and scale as the savings and public perception benefits compound. Shaanxi Fenghan Trading stands ready to support Saudi buyers from first quote through the first year of operation and beyond as the fleet grows.
Buyers exploring the Saudi Arabia electric truck market should request a written FOB quote covering battery size, tank and pump configuration and charger option. The KT7A electric washing truck is exported from China with documentation for Saudi import and municipal registration.
