What the BYD 6F is built for
The BYD 6F is a battery-electric rigid truck with a gross vehicle weight of 11.8 t (26,000 lb), built for urban and regional distribution, where daily distances are predictable and the truck returns to its depot to charge.
Its rated weight is below the median of 15 t across the 8 electric rigid trucks with a stated gross vehicle weight in our database.
Battery and charging
The BYD 6F is offered with 281 – 343 kWh batteries of lithium iron phosphate (LFP) cells, close to the median of 375 kWh across the 10 electric rigid trucks in our database. LFP cells hold less energy for their weight than nickel-based ones, but last more charge cycles and tolerate heat and fast charging well, which is why most heavy electric trucks now use them.
It charges by DC fast charging (DC up to 100 kW (281 kWh) or 120 kW (343 kWh)), full charge in 2 h (281 kWh) or 3 h (343 kWh) on DC.
BYD (RIDE) states 200+ miles with the 281 kWh battery and 250+ miles with the 343 kWh battery (322 – 402 km).
Power and drive
It weighs 6.4 – 6.9 t (14,100 – 15,100 lb) empty.
