Tires on Dongfeng Ruichi EC75 (Донгфенг)

The commercial van Dongfeng Ruichi EC75 was released in 2021. It was created as part of the "electrification" strategy of the Dongfeng consortium's urban logistics vehicles, used for transportation on the so-called "last mile". The concept of the car is based on a combination of maximum cargo efficiency, low cost per kilometer, and simplicity of design, adapted for intensive operation in urban agglomerations. One of the key features is the use of an electric powertrain, which significantly reduces operating costs.

Technical differences

The van is built on the same platform as the rest of the commercial C-series. A frame integrated into the body is used here, the elements of which are also load-bearing. This provided the vehicle with high strength reserves while maintaining a relatively small mass. The chassis layout is also "hybrid" - with McPherson struts at the front and dependent suspension with leaf springs at the rear. With a wheelbase of 3 meters, this van offers a large volume of cargo compartment with a flat floor and almost vertical sides. In combination with a low loading height, this greatly simplifies working with containers and pallets. The gross mass reaches 3.5 tons, while the payload is about 1000-1200 kg, depending on the version and battery configuration.

The powerplant is represented by a single synchronous electric motor, which, depending on the version, develops a power of 90 to 110 kW, a torque of 230 to 300 Nm, which is available almost from the start of movement. The transmission of traction to the wheels is carried out through a 1-speed reducer, eliminating the need for a gearbox. The energy source is an LFP battery, the capacity of which, depending on the version, reaches from 41 to 53 kWh. The range of travel varies within 230-320 km, which fully fits into the usage scenarios of such equipment, primarily in urban conditions. The onboard charging device is designed to work with both DC and AC sources. In the first case, it can restore up to 80% of energy in about 45-60 minutes, and in the second - in 6-8 hours, which is convenient for night operation in commercial parks.

Compared to diesel analogs like the Renault Master or Ford Transit, the electric model wins in operating costs, absence of idle fuel consumption, and reduced maintenance costs of the powerplant. However, the range of autonomous travel and dependence on charging infrastructure limit its application mainly within the city and suburbs.

Inside the cabin

The driver's workplace is also subject to the concept of this van, differing in a utilitarian approach, but at the same time providing a good level of comfort by modern standards. The front console contains a 10-inch multimedia display, through which control of most settings of various systems is carried out. The interface is oriented towards commercial use and displays key parameters in real-time, including the remaining charge and regeneration mode. The instrument panel is fully "digital" and adapted to the operation of the electric powertrain. It displays the instantaneous energy consumption, range reserve forecast, and battery status. The driver's seat has basic adjustments, the steering column is adjustable in tilt, and the standard equipment includes air conditioning and electric windows, which increases comfort during long shifts.

Behavior on the road and driving characteristics

Electric traction provides linear acceleration without gear shifts and power drops, which is especially important when moving in dense urban traffic. The low placement of the battery block lowers the center of gravity, thanks to which the EC75 demonstrates stability even when fully loaded and maneuvering. The suspension is tuned to work with a large weight of transported cargo, so when the body is empty, excessive stiffness may be felt. Compared to competitors in the class, including the Maxus EV30, the model demonstrates a softer passage of irregularities, although it loses in the accuracy of steering and overall "gatheredness" at high speeds. To a significant extent, this is due to the use of 16-inch wheels and tires with a 75% profile. Such a combination compensates for the large weight of this van, providing a more even ride on irregularities. The selection of tires and disks for this model in the "Mosavtoshina" online store is especially relevant given the specifics of electric operation, where not only strength but also stability of behavior under changing load is important.

Advantages of selecting tires for the Dongfeng Ruichi EC75 on our website:

- the catalog is regularly updated with tires specifically designed for commercial vans;
- "commercial" disks of increased strength are constantly available, which preserve their original geometry even with prolonged operation with maximum weight load;
- the automated search system on the site allows you to quickly select compatible wheel products, taking into account the specific modification and operating conditions of the vehicle fleet;
- our employees will help not only with the selection of optimal disks and tires but also provide recommendations for their operation.
