The seven-dimension breakdown (method v1.0)
Performance (20%)3/5
Independent media Transport Topics confirms the R700 dual configuration (436 kWh / 730 kWh, 670 km Gen2); however, the range figure is manufacturer-stated rather than independently tested, and per the “no independent test, downgrade one level” rule → 3 points. Reason: no independent test, downgraded.
source ↗TCO position (20%)2/5
Public price €250k plus subsidy policies lower the initial cost, but there is no independent full-cycle TCO calculation, hence 2 points.
source ↗Price transparency (10%)4/5
Official site publishes starting price (RMB ¥1,280,000 / CAD $360,000), and independent media confirms €250,000 in Europe → official public pricing available, hence 4 points.
source ↗Compliance & market access (15%)3/5
US Class 8 deliveries commenced (2025-04-01) + European Antwerp headquarters + presence across five continents; however, EU WVTA for the tractor unit was not explicitly confirmed, hence 3 points.
source ↗Warranty (10%)n/a — evidence insufficient
No written warranty terms found. Missing item: written warranty terms would complete this criterion.
Service network (15%)2/5
Global sales (14-language website) + European Antwerp headquarters, but European service network density is not quantified, hence 2 points.
source ↗Track record (10%)4/5
Independent media confirms: US deliveries began 2025-04-01, 100+ orders, JoyRide Logistics named in deployment → strong delivery track record, hence 4 points.
