While there is much talk about EV startups and powerful SUVs, the real Chinese electric vehicle revolution happens mostly out of sight, and mainly at the various commercial vehicle segments. These include buses, all sorts of trucks, pickup trucks, delivery vehicles, garbage trucks, and minivans. A perfect example of the last category is the new King Long Longyao, a full electric minivan for intercity transport and deliveries.
King Long is one of China’s largest commercial-vehicle makers, best known for their King Long branded city and long-distance buses. Like so many Chinese automakers, the company has gone full into electric vehicles in recent year, electrifying existing products and developing new electric vehicles from scratch. The new King Long Longyao falls in the former category, as it is based on an older gasoline powered car.
