Vehicle Overview

The X7M 4x2 Flat Roof Left-Hand Drive (LHD) Methanol Range Extender Cargo Truck Chassis is a new energy commercial vehicle chassis launched by Remote. Powered by methanol and equipped with range extender technology, it is specifically designed for urban and intercity logistics scenarios. It combines eco-friendly performance with high operational efficiency, making it an ideal upgrade from traditional fuel-powered cargo trucks.

Core Technical Highlights

• Methanol Range Extender System The vehicle is driven by electricity generated from methanol fuel, eliminating the need for charging piles. Refueling takes only 5 minutes, and the maximum driving range exceeds 1,000 km, completely solving the range anxiety and charging pain points of pure electric vehicles.
• High Efficiency & Energy Saving Fuel cost per km is 40-50% lower than that of traditional fuel trucks. Over a 5-year cycle, it can save more than 500,000 yuan in operating costs, significantly improving the profitability of logistics companies.
• Flat Roof & LHD Configuration The flat roof design reduces the overall height of the vehicle, enabling easy passage through height-restricted urban roads. The LHD layout complies with driving habits in most countries, adapting to a wide range of international markets.
• Excellent Passability & Power Equipped with a 410kW high-power motor, it offers a maximum wading depth of 1.3 meters. It delivers strong and stable power even under complex road conditions and full-load transportation scenarios.
• Aerodynamic Optimization With an industry-leading drag coefficient of 0.49Cd, it effectively reduces energy consumption at high speeds, further enhancing range and economic efficiency.

Policy & Operational Advantages

• Road Access Priority: Eligible for green license plates, enjoying unrestricted traffic access in most cities in China, ensuring transportation efficiency.
• TCO Advantage: The 5-year total cost of ownership (TCO) is significantly lower than that of fuel trucks, while also saving infrastructure costs such as charging piles.

Application Scenarios

• Urban Distribution: High-frequency short-haul transportation for supermarkets, express delivery, etc.
• Intercity Logistics: Medium-to-long-haul trunk cargo transportation.
• Special Vehicle Conversion: Can be converted into refrigerated trucks, box trucks, and other specialized vehicles.

Customer Reviews

• Intercity Logistics Fleet Manager
• “Our fleet purchased 10 X7M chassis converted into box trucks. After running for over half a year, the per-kilometer cost is nearly 0.6 yuan lower than our original diesel trucks. Over 5 years, each vehicle can save hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the green license plate allows us to drive in urban areas without restrictions, significantly improving efficiency.”
• Urban Distribution Driver “The flat roof design is very practical. Previously, my high-roof truck often got stuck under height-limiting poles, but now I can easily pass underground garages and narrow village roads. Methanol refueling is also convenient—just 5 minutes to fill up, saving a lot of time compared to waiting for EV charging.”
• Overseas Distributor (Southeast Asia) “The LHD version adapts to local market needs. Methanol fuel has low procurement costs locally, and customers are very satisfied with the range and refueling speed. We have already placed an additional order for 20 units.”

FAQ

• Q: Is methanol fuel refueling convenient? A: Currently, methanol refueling stations are available at most logistics hubs and chemical parks in China, and the network is rapidly expanding overseas. The refueling process is the same as that of fuel vehicles, taking only 5 minutes to complete.
• Q: Is the maintenance cost of this chassis high? A: The methanol range extender system has a simplified structure with no complex engine maintenance. Daily maintenance only requires checking the battery and motor, and long-term maintenance costs are more than 30% lower than those of fuel trucks.
• Q: Can overseas customers purchase the LHD version? A: Yes, this chassis natively supports LHD layout, which complies with driving habits in most countries in Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa, and can be directly exported and adapted.
• Q: Is the vehicle range affected by weather? A: The methanol range extender system is not affected by low-temperature environments, providing stable range performance, which is more advantageous than pure electric vehicles in winter.
• Q: Is customized conversion supported? A: Yes, the chassis is equipped with standardized modification interfaces and can be converted into various specialized vehicles such as box trucks, refrigerated trucks, and sanitation vehicles according to needs.
