The TZ3V 600 kWh electric dump truck is engineered for the punishing haul roads of Cerro de Pasco, where mines sit above 4,300 m and a diesel engine quietly loses output with every meter of climb. At that altitude, this EV truck keeps full motor power because an electric drivetrain does not thin its air charge the way a combustion engine does, so loaded climbs stay consistent from the pit floor to the crusher.
Cerro de Pasco is one of the highest large mining districts on earth, and thin air is the enemy of diesel productivity. A naturally aspirated or even turbocharged diesel loses roughly 3.5% of its power for every 300 m of elevation gain, which means at 4,300 m a diesel dump truck can surrender close to half its rated output. The TZ3V sidesteps that physics entirely: its LvKong permanent magnet motor delivers rated torque regardless of altitude, so payloads and cycle times stay constant. For a mine where every haul counts, losing no power is a direct gain in tons moved per shift.
The TZ3V is Dongfeng's heavy electric dump truck for mining and quarry duty. It carries a large CATL LFP battery, uses a LvKong permanent magnet motor and runs a liquid cooled thermal system rated for a 25 to 35 °C operating window. The battery is backed by an 8-year or 4,500-cycle warranty, which suits the intense charge-and-discharge rhythm of a haul road. The 600 kWh pack gives the truck the energy reserve to climb loaded all day without mid-shift anxiety.

On a 4,300 m haul road, the TZ3V maintains full motor output while a comparable diesel unit is derated by altitude. The regenerative braking system also recaptures energy on the descent back to the pit, which is where electric dump trucks earn back a large share of their energy cost. Operators report steadier climb speeds and fewer gear-hunting moments on steep grades, which improves both safety and round-trip time on a busy mine road.
Mines can install DC fast charging at the maintenance bay and top the 600 kWh pack during shift changes and blasting stops. The 20 to 80% window fills in about 60 to 90 minutes, which aligns with natural downtime. For continuous two-shift operations, some sites add a second charger so one truck charges while its twin hauls. Because the thermal system is liquid cooled, the pack stays inside its comfort band even when ambient temperatures swing widely between day and night at altitude.
The table below outlines a representative cost path for a TZ3V entering the Peru electric truck market through the Callao or Matarani ports and then overland to the central highlands. Numbers vary with shipment size, inland freight and the buyer's tax status, so use this as a planning benchmark rather than a final quote.
| Cost element | Estimate (USD) |
|---|---|
| FOB unit price | $140,000 to $180,000 |
| Ocean freight and insurance | $4,000 to $7,000 |
| Import duties and VAT | $14,000 to $26,000 |
| Inland haul to highlands | $5,000 to $12,000 |
| Site charger and hookup | $20,000 to $40,000 |
| Estimated landed first unit | $183,000 to $265,000 |
The TZ3V cab prioritizes visibility and restraint on rough haul roads, with reinforced structure and a low-noise interior that reduces fatigue across a 12-hour mining shift. Regenerative braking lowers wear on the friction brakes, which matters on long loaded descents where brake fade is a real risk for conventional trucks. Fewer hot exhaust components also reduce fire risk around combustible mine dust, an overlooked safety advantage of going electric underground and at surface.
Mining fleets live or die on availability, and the TZ3V removes engine oil, fuel filters, diesel exhaust fluid and complex transmissions from the service schedule. The 1.1 to 1.6 kWh/km loaded consumption, multiplied by electricity at $0.08 to $0.20 per kWh versus diesel at $0.90 to $1.20 per liter, produces a large energy saving on high-kilometer haul roads. Over the 8-year battery warranty the TZ3V typically beats diesel total cost of ownership while also removing altitude derating from the production plan.
A practical rollout begins with one or two TZ3V units on the main pit-to-crusher lane, a site DC fast charger and a driver training module on regenerative descent control. After a 60 to 90 day trial the mine confirms tons moved per shift and energy cost per ton, then scales the electric fleet. Shaanxi Fenghan Trading supplies specification sheets, charging layout drawings and spare parts kits so the trial runs without a parts bottleneck at 4,300 m.
Shaanxi Fenghan Trading backs every TZ3V with the full Dongfeng EV export support package: a documented 8-year or 4,500-cycle battery warranty, a recommended spare parts list sized for mining haul duty, and remote diagnostics that keep a Cerro de Pasco unit earning instead of waiting. Because the TZ3V shares the Dongfeng EV platform with other heavy models, common components such as the LvKong motor, CATL LFP modules and liquid cooling parts are stocked together, which shrinks the inventory a mine must carry at 4,300 m. Operators receive driver and technician training on regenerative descent control, charging etiquette and basic fault codes before the first loads move. Regional service partners can be lined up during the import process so that scheduled maintenance and any warranty claim are handled through established mining supply chains rather than waiting on ocean freight, protecting availability on a haul road where every stalled truck is lost tons per shift. Spare parts kits are pre-positioned so the pilot phase never stalls on a missing component, and the shared platform means a single service visit can cover several vehicle types in the fleet.
The 8-year or 4,500-cycle battery warranty is the backbone of the TZ3V's total cost case, because the 600 kWh pack is the single largest component cost and the one buyers worry about most. At Cerro de Pasco's 4,300 m altitude the liquid cooled 25 to 35 °C operating window protects capacity retention despite thin, cold air and steep loaded climbs. Fleets that track state of charge and avoid deep daily extremes see the slowest degradation, which supports stronger residual values at trade-in. Lenders and leasing desks already recognize CATL LFP chemistry as a stable, long-life asset class, so financing the TZ3V is straightforward compared with early-generation packs. For a Peruvian operator planning a five to eight year mine life, the combination of warranty coverage, predictable degradation and proven chemistry turns the electric dump truck from a risk into a bankable line item on the project ledger. Strong residual value also helps operators refinance or upgrade at the end of the hold period without taking a large write-down on the pack.
For high-altitude mining, the case for the TZ3V is clear: it loses no power where diesel loses the most, it recaptures energy on every descent and it cuts fuel cost per ton moved. The TZ3V 600 kWh electric dump truck gives Cerro de Pasco operators a reliable, compliant path into the Peru electric truck market.
