Charging Forward: Dongfeng EV is ready to move your business

Fact: Electric is the future of mobility.

In the capital of the Philippines alone, close to 90% of air pollution comes from motor vehicles, many of which are hopelessly stuck in traffic. A change must come, and awareness is driving the demand for vehicles that have reduced emissions, or even zero emissions.

Already there are many options for customers to go to for the future of mobility. For the commercial sector, that’s where Diamond Auto Group EV Corporation is ready to serve with vehicles that do not expel diesel fumes.

Backed by over five decades of experience in the automotive business, Diamond’s new automotive arm has the electric light commercial vehicle lineup of one of the largest automotive conglomerates in Asia: Dongfeng. After its launch earlier this year, they are ready to provide zero emissions solutions for commercial vehicle customers.

Their flagship model is the Dongfeng Rich6 EV pick-up truck. What makes the Rich6 EV unique is that it has been transformed by Dongfeng’s electric drive system. On the rear axle is an electric motor that delivers 163 PS and 420 Newton meters of torque right from the start. Maximum torque from zero RPM is the advantage of an EV. That means it can pull and carry confidently.

Dongfeng Rich6 True EV Pickup is covered with 8 years or 200,000-kilometer battery warranty (whichever comes first).

This double cab pickup rides on a familiar and proven platform featuring a payload rating of 1200 kilograms thanks to the tough leaf spring rear suspension. Together with the 60.16 kWh IP68-rated LiFePO4 battery pack, it has a range of up to 350 kilometers. There are two charging options, a standard AC plug and a DC fast charger that can top up the battery in less than 3 hours.

Diamond Auto Group EV also has a line of closed vans that are excellent for corporations engaged in door-to-door logistics and utilities. If you need to move people, they have the Dongfeng EC36 passenger van with up to 8 seats, making it ideal as a zero-emissions shuttle with up to 200 Nm of torque and a maximum range of 300 kilometers on a single charge.

If shuttling equipment or a work van is needed, the EC35 panel van will fit the bill. The vehicle has the same electric powertrain as the EC36 with 82 PS, 200 Nm, and 300-km range. Instead of seating, the EC35 flexes its cargo space to up to 5.1 cubic meters of capacity.

For more capacity, there’s the EV30 panel van. It has a more powerful EV drive system at 94 PS and more torque at 230 Nm, but the cargo box has been made larger to accommodate up to 5.6 cubic meters of volume. The tall vehicle comes with dual rear doors that make loading and unloading easier.

Diamond Auto Group EV even has three larger electric cab and chassis trucks that are ready to serve. They have the EC31 single cab truck that’s rated for 1300 kilograms, there’s the EV35 that is rated for 1800 kilograms, and the much larger EV45 truck has a payload rating of 2200 kilograms and a range that goes up to 350 kilometers. And all these trucks can be configured and customized to suit your business; all you have to do is talk to them.

Dongfeng EV30, EV35, and EV45 are covered with 8 years or 200,000-kilometer battery warranty (whichever comes first).

Yes, these are all available from Diamond Auto Group EV Corporation. All are zero emissions. All are covered by extensive warranties of the vehicle and the battery. All are convenient to maintain because EVs are simpler and have lower costs when it comes to service; for instance, the Rich 6 EV PMS costs are about 64% less compared to a similar turbodiesel pickup truck.

If you’re ready to future-proof your business with sustainable mobility, the flagship showroom and service center of Diamond Auto Group EV Corporation is on Marcos Highway, Cainta. They also have showrooms in La Union, Pasig, Cavite, Davao; and they are working to expand their reach to serve more customers all around the country.
