The TZ3V 600 kWh electric dump truck is an EV truck built for the heavy haul loops of the Aktobe mining region, where ore and overburden move in repeated short cycles and winter temperatures drop to minus 30 deg C. With a 600 kWh CATL LFP battery, 8x4 axle layout and about 31 tonne payload, the TZ3V replaces a diesel tipper on the pit to crusher run while cutting fuel cost and engine heat stress in extreme cold.
Aktobe oblast hosts iron ore and other mineral operations where haul trucks run constant shuttles between the working face and the processing plant, often inside a confined site with poor air exchange. Diesel dump trucks fill that pit with exhaust and noise, raising ventilation cost and operator health risk. The TZ3V's electric drivetrain removes in-pit emissions entirely and delivers full torque from standstill, ideal for the loaded climb out of a pit.
The 8x4 configuration and 31 tonne payload match the mid class mining tipper duty, and the 600 kWh pack is the largest in the Dongfeng electric dump range, giving the reserve needed for repeated climbs and for cabin and battery heating in deep winter. For Kazakh mine operators facing both fuel cost and ESG pressure from international offtakers, the TZ3V is a practical first step to electrified haulage.
The TZ3V is built on a 600 kWh CATL LFP battery, the top of the range for sustained heavy cycle work, backed by an 8 year or 4,500 cycle warranty. The pack feeds the drive motor and the cold weather heating system so the truck stays productive through Aktobe's long winter.
| Specification | TZ3V Electric Dump |
|---|---|
| Battery | CATL LFP 600 kWh |
| Configuration | 8x4 axle layout |
| Payload | About 31 tonnes |
| 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 |
| FOB price range | USD 130,000 to 160,000 |
Mine sites can host their own high power DC charging, and a 360 kW to 480 kW unit restores 20 percent to 80 percent in 45 to 90 minutes during the truck's staged break, or a battery swap station can turn that into a 5 to 6 minute pit stop. With Kazakhstan electricity priced around USD 0.05 to 0.18 per kWh, a full charge costs roughly USD 30 to 108, against USD 150 to 260 of diesel for a comparable tipper shift of repeated haul cycles.
For fleets near the Kazakhstan electric truck market hubs around Aktobe and Almaty, the cold weather package is essential. The TZ3V keeps the battery in a safe temperature band with pre heating before departure and recovers heat from the drivetrain to warm the cabin, preserving range when the thermometer falls to minus 30 deg C.
The FOB price of USD 130,000 to 160,000 is above a diesel tipper, but the duty cycle is where the electric truck wins. A pit haul truck idles and cycles constantly, burning heavy diesel at roughly USD 0.9 to 1.4 per litre equivalent.
| Cost factor | Diesel tipper | TZ3V electric |
|---|---|---|
| Energy per shift | USD 150 to 260 diesel | USD 30 to 108 electricity |
| Scheduled maintenance | High, engine and exhaust | Low, no engine oil |
| Ventilation cost | Higher, exhaust | Lower, zero in-pit |
| 5 year energy saving | Baseline | USD 120,000 to 220,000 |
A mine running four to six TZ3V units on the main haul can recover the purchase premium within two to three years on energy and ventilation savings alone, before counting any carbon credit or ESG benefit with international buyers.
The recommended rollout starts with one TZ3V on the shortest, most regular pit loop, logging kWh per tonne moved against diesel spend across a full winter and summer, then scaling to the full fleet as charging or swap infrastructure is proven. Shaanxi Fenghan Trading Co., Ltd, the authorized Dongfeng EV exporter in Xi'an, supports Kazakh buyers with cold weather kits, spare parts and operator training so the first winter stays productive.
Shaanxi Fenghan Trading Co., Ltd, the authorized Dongfeng EV exporter based in Xi'an, China, supports every TZ3V export with a documented spare parts list, recommended consumables and a regional service plan so fleet uptime stays high in mining conditions. Key wear items such as brakes, tires, lights 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 minus 30 deg C winter package checks needed for Aktobe's climate.
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 Kazakh mine operators running the TZ3V on heavy haul loops, this support structure keeps the truck earning through the long winter instead of sitting idle waiting on parts.
Most overseas buyers purchase on FOB terms and arrange their own rail or ro-ro shipping, 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 configuration and charger or swap option, and a phased rollout of two to four units lets a mine validate kWh per tonne moved before committing to a full conversion. Shaanxi Fenghan Trading can quote a package that includes the truck, a high power charger or swap station specification and the spare parts kit so the buyer receives a ready to operate solution.
For operators comparing the TZ3V against continued diesel use, the deciding metric is lifetime cost per tonne hauled, and the electric dump truck's lower energy and ventilation line items compound across a multi year mine plan. Requesting a written quote with battery size, winter package and delivery terms is the first concrete step toward electrifying an Aktobe haul fleet with confidence and a clear payback model.
International offtakers are increasingly asking Kazakh miners about scope 1 emissions, and an electric haul truck is one of the fastest ways to cut in-pit exhaust and show progress on ESG goals. Early movers can also lower ventilation cost in confined pits and protect operator health. The TZ3V's 600 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 high power charger or swap station rated for winter.
Taken together, the case for the TZ3V in Kazakhstan is about sequencing: order early, train crews, build the charging routine, and scale as the savings and ESG benefits compound. Shaanxi Fenghan Trading stands ready to support Kazakh buyers from first quote through the first year of operation and beyond as the fleet grows.
Buyers exploring the Kazakhstan electric truck market should request a written FOB quote that includes battery size, winter package and charger or swap option. The TZ3V 600 kWh electric dump truck is exported from China with documentation for Kazakh import and mining registration.
