Chinese electric-truck brand DeepWay has entered Malaysia, showcasing its battery-electric heavy-duty trucks at the Malaysia International Automotive & Parts Expo from October 23 to 25, 2026. The company is based in Anhui and was formed through a partnership between Baidu and Chinese logistics and transport provider China Lionbridge. Malaysian distribution is handled by Tiong Wang, which also represents FAW. DeepWay trucks have received Malaysian vehicle type approval, and are expected on the road by December. Prices start at RM750,000; logistics company Tiong Nam is reported to have ordered 20 units.
The range comprises three configurations: the 6×4 600C with a 600 kWh battery, and the 6×4 513H and 4×2 513H, each with a 513 kWh battery. DeepWay quotes up to 400 km for the 600C, while both 513H versions are rated for up to 350 km. Their stated energy use is 133 kWh per 100 km for the 6×4 models and 117 kWh per 100 km for the 4×2.
All variants use a 500-amp dual-charging setup. The 600C takes 75 minutes to charge from 20% to 80%; the 513H versions take 60 minutes and can also use battery swapping, which DeepWay says takes six minutes. The 600C and 6×4 513H have a gross weight of 49,000 kg, while the 4×2 513H is rated at 42,000 kg. Each has a stated top speed of 120 km/h and a drag coefficient of 0.35.
The article notes that, with Malaysia’s diesel logistics subsidy in place, electric-truck charging costs are broadly comparable with diesel. Without that subsidy, it says, electric trucks can cost about a third as much to run on energy, with lower maintenance needs also contributing to reduced operating costs.
