New energy is one of the future development trends of commercial vehicles, and among them, 4.5-ton blue-plate light trucks have greater potential for electrification. This is mainly in line with their usage scenarios. Short-distance transportation and road right requirements are more suitable for the use of new energy vehicles. There are also more and more heavy truck and light truck companies entering the light truck market.

In the 379th announcement in January 2025, Beiben Heavy Duty Truck, which has been among the top ten heavy-duty truck sales for many years, also applied for its first diesel light truck model.

In the 383rd batch of automobile announcements, Beiben Heavy Duty Truck once again declared a pure electric light truck.
