The seven-dimension breakdown (method v1.0)
Performance (20%)2/5
Manufacturer spec sheet: 400.61 kWh battery, CLTC range 245–430 km; CLTC is a China-specific cycle with no independent testing, downgraded one level per “no independent test” rule → 2 points. Reason: no independent testing, downgraded.
source ↗TCO position (20%)n/a — evidence insufficient
No EU/independent TCO calculation available. Gap: can be closed by providing a binding quote or an independent TCO model.
Price transparency (10%)1/5
Exporter inquiry-based pricing (30% deposit + T/T), no public EU list price → lowest tier under Status A.
source ↗Compliance & market access (15%)2/5
Manufacturer statement: China domestic CCC type approval plus exports to multiple countries; but EU WVTA for electric tractors not confirmed, hence 2 points.
source ↗Warranty (10%)3/5
Manufacturer statement: battery warranty 8 years / 4,500 cycles; this is manufacturer-sourced data, written terms not captured, hence 3 points.
source ↗Service network (15%)2/5
Sinotruk’s global after-sales network exists, but European network density/coverage not quantified, hence 2 points.
source ↗Track record (10%)2/5
Strong domestic delivery track record in China, but no named European delivery records, hence 2 points.
