The TZ3Z electric dump truck is the electric truck Indonesia's Nusantara capital city project should deploy for earthmoving and aggregate haul, where a 282 kWh pack, 6x4 layout, and 25 t payload meet the green-city mandate the new capital is built around. This article details the TZ3Z specs, the Nusantara duty cycle, and the project fleet pricing a contractor sees through Shaanxi Fenghan Trading, the authorized Dongfeng EV exporter in Xi'an, China.
The TZ3Z is a 6x4 battery-electric dump truck powered by a 282 kWh CATL LFP battery and a heavy-duty electric drivetrain engineered for construction grades. It carries a payload near 25 t and is built for repeated short hauls of 2 to 6 km between a cut and a fill or spoil tip across the Nusantara site. The pack carries the standard 8-year or 4,500-cycle Dongfeng warranty and recharges from 20 percent to 80 percent in 45 to 90 minutes on DC between loader cycles.
The 6x4 layout gives the TZ3Z the traction to climb the laterite and clay grades of East Kalimantan without a third lifting axle, keeping tare weight down so more of the 25 t rating becomes paying payload. Its sealed electric drivetrain also shrugs off the dust and humidity of a tropical construction site better than a diesel intake and exhaust system.
| Parameter | TZ3Z Value |
|---|---|
| Battery capacity | 282 kWh (CATL LFP) |
| Chassis layout | 6x4 |
| Payload | ~25 t |
| DC fast charge 20-80% | 45-90 min |
| Battery warranty | 8 years / 4,500 cycles |
| FOB price range | $85,000 - $105,000 |
The Nusantara capital plan explicitly limits diesel emissions on site, and contractors are scored on the share of zero-tailpipe equipment they deploy. The TZ3Z produces no exhaust and far less noise than a diesel tipper, so a fleet of them helps a main contractor win the sustainability rating that influences follow-on packages. On a 4 km haul loop the truck returns to a central solar-charged hub every cycle, so a single 360 kW charger can serve six to eight TZ3Z units across a 10-hour shift.
Regenerative braking on the loaded descent from cut to fill recovers 10 to 15 percent of the climb energy, which directly lowers the cost per cubic meter moved. In a tropical climate the liquid-cooled CATL pack holds temperature through the heat of the day, protecting both cycle life and the guaranteed end-of-year-five capacity that underpins your resale assumption.
Indonesian industrial electricity runs about $0.10/kWh on project tariffs and up to $0.16/kWh at peak, while diesel sits near $1.00/L including the remote-site premium. The TZ3Z draws roughly 1.6 to 2.0 kWh per km under a 25 t load, so a 4 km haul costs about $0.64 to $1.28 in electricity versus $2.40 to $4.00 in diesel. Across 45,000 km per year the fuel saving reaches $18,000 to $25,000 per truck before maintenance, a meaningful margin on a multi-year earthworks contract.
A Nusantara contractor typically pairs a 360 kW DC charger with a solar or grid buffer inside the laydown yard, fed from the site substation. The TZ3Z tops up during loader loading and operator breaks so it rarely leaves a cycle below 30 percent state of charge. Fenghan provides the charger specification and the single-line drawing your Indonesian electrical engineer needs to pull a permit, shortening commissioning from weeks to days.
The Indonesia electric truck market applies import duty and VAT on fully built units, with VAT recoverable for registered project entities and possible green-infrastructure relief. On a $95,000 FOB TZ3Z, ocean plus river transit to East Kalimantan adds roughly $5,500, insurance $600, and customs $900, for a landed cost near $102,000 before VAT recovery. A 48-month lease at 9 percent to 12 percent places the monthly payment near $2,550, which the fuel and maintenance saving covers for a truck running 45,000 km per year.
Fenghan supports Indonesian buyers with Bahasa and English manuals, on-site operator training, and a spare-parts kit for the first year. We recommend replacing the two oldest diesel tippers first to validate the charging hub, then scaling to a fully electric earthmoving fleet as the green-city scoring thresholds tighten.
The 8-year or 4,500-cycle battery warranty and 2-year drivetrain coverage keep the TZ3Z earning through its service life in humidity and heat. Remote telematics flags a weak cell or cooling fault before it strands a loaded truck on a grade, and Fenghan's regional parts hub stocks hydraulic and suspension components for the dump body so a hoist fault never stops a fill package.
To size a TZ3Z earthworks conversion, map your haul loops and count how many 4 km cycles a truck runs per 10-hour shift, then size one 360 kW charger for every six to eight trucks. A two-truck pilot removes about 90,000 km of diesel running per year from the Nusantara site, and scaling to eight tippers cuts roughly 360,000 diesel km annually across the capital project.
| Fleet size | Chargers needed | Annual diesel replaced |
|---|---|---|
| 2 tippers | 1 x 360 kW | ~90,000 km |
| 4 tippers | 1 x 360 kW | ~180,000 km |
| 8 tippers | 2 x 360 kW | ~360,000 km |
At the $18,000 to $25,000 per-truck annual fuel saving, an eight-tipper fleet recoups its roughly $816,000 landed investment in truck and charger cost in four to five years on energy alone, before the green-city scoring and maintenance savings are counted. Fenghan models this on your real haul data before you commit.
Every TZ3Z delivery includes a one-shift operator course on electric tipper driving, plus a high-voltage safety module for your site mechanics. Drivers learn to read state of charge and plan the loader-window charge, while your workshop trains on isolation procedures and the CATL warranty claim process. Telematics reports overloading and harsh braking so you can coach operators during their first month on the grade.
Fenghan also supplies a Bahasa lockout-tagout poster and a monthly remote health check, so a developing battery imbalance is corrected under warranty rather than found as a range surprise mid-project. This support is why Nusantara contractors report higher uptime on the TZ3Z than on their previous diesel tippers within the first 90 days.
An electric TZ3Z removes the diesel service items that dominate a combustion tipper's workshop hours: there is no engine oil, no fuel filter, no diesel particulate filter, and no exhaust aftertreatment to replace. Scheduled maintenance narrows to tires, brakes, coolant, and the annual high-voltage inspection. Brake wear drops 40 to 60 percent thanks to regeneration, so pad and rotor life roughly doubles. Fenghan ships a first-year parts kit sized to your fleet and stocks regionally used items so a fault is fixed in days, not weeks, and every service is logged in the telematics portal to support the resale value of your Indonesian operation.
Project managers comparing total cost of ownership should also weigh the carbon credit value: as Indonesia tightens the Nusantara green-city scoring, the verified zero-tailpipe kilometers from your TZ3Z lift your contractor rating and become a tradable asset that a diesel tipper can only approximate with purchased offsets.
The TZ3Z electric dump truck brings quiet, zero-tailpipe earthmoving to the Nusantara capital project. Contact Shaanxi Fenghan Trading for Indonesia project pricing, a charger layout, and a green-score dossier.
