The BYD eT18 Is A Medium-Duty Electric Truck That Combines Power, Silence, And Technology, With Fast Charging And Robust Performance For Urban Operations

The new BYD eT18 has just been officially unveiled in Brazil with a 100% electric motor, a range of 165 km even when loaded with 21 tons, and an ambitious promise: to reduce maintenance costs by up to 70% compared to diesel models. The era of silent heavy-duty vehicles begins now.

The future of heavy urban logistics has just gained a new protagonist. The BYD eT18 is not just another electric truck; it is a project born with a DNA of efficiency. With immediate torque of 450 Nm, power of 180 kW, and a 4-speed automatic transmission, the model is already starting to operate in real operations in Brazil and promises to make noise… without emitting a single sound.

BYD eT18 Delivers Power, Economy, And Charging In Record Time

Powered by two battery packs with a total capacity of 229 kWh, the BYD eT18 impresses by offering a full charge in about 1 hour and 20 minutes when connected to two 100 kW chargers. For those lacking advanced infrastructure, the vehicle also accepts charging with just one input, adapting to the reality of Brazilian operations.

The engineering of the BYD eT18 has been designed for multiple uses: boxes, garbage compactors, aerial baskets, and electrical network maintenance. With a wheelbase of 4.5 meters, a curb weight of 7,700 kg, and a gross vehicle weight of 21 tons, it delivers 13,300 kg of payload, making it ideal for urban distribution and public services, especially in areas with restrictions on polluting vehicles.

Reinforced Structure And In-House Manufacturing Components

The chassis is made of high-strength steel, produced by BYD itself, which is also responsible for the motor, inverters, electronic controller, and the BMS system that manages battery health. Final assembly takes place in Brazil, where the power take-off (PTO) kit, essential for applications with hydraulic implements, is also installed.

The cabin of the BYD eT18 is a show in itself. Extended, with a renewed look and pneumatic seats for both the driver and passenger, it offers traction control, stability control, hill-start assistance, cruise control, and electro-hydraulic steering. The digital dashboard provides all essential information intuitively, including the energy regeneration level, which acts as an advanced engine brake and also recharges the batteries on descents.

The regeneration system has four levels of intensity, allowing the driver to choose between Eco or Sport driving modes. The technology transforms the BYD eT18 into a truck that understands the terrain, reduces consumption, and offers drivability tailored for any scenario, from the mountains to busy avenues.

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

(VIDEO) Cameras from an astronomical observatory captured two meteors falling over Santa Maria in Rio Grande do Sul with only a one-minute difference and such close trajectories that scientists are now investigating whether the two objects have the same origin.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state wants to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Rare earths are in everything, from cell phones to bullet trains, and what almost no one realizes is why they have become the target of such a delicate global war.

Switzerland invested over $2.3 billion and bet on water, altitude, and solid rock to create a battery in the Alps capable of powering more than 1 million homes.

Fireballs shoot across the skies of the USA and meteor explosions draw attention: what is causing this mysterious wave of sightings?

In Switzerland, tracks that previously only accommodated trains are beginning to generate electricity with removable solar panels installed on active railways, paving the way to transform the railway network into a new front for clean energy.

Around R$ 24,000: 4 used Ford SUVs with up to 253 hp, V6 engine, all-wheel drive, 7 airbags, panoramic sunroof, and a complete package that surprises with its price and performance in Brazil.

A brand new car starts at around R$ 75,000 in Brazil, but what stands out the most is seeing streets filled with SUVs and expensive sedans in a country where millions remain in debt.

For R$ 32,000, a brand new Hyundai car is a rival to the Kwid with a 1.2 engine producing 82 hp, 6 airbags as standard, multimedia with wireless Android Auto, up to 391 liters in the trunk, and a refreshed look for 2026 in India.

He bought a new car in 1983, locked it in the barn in 1988, and no one opened the door for 38 years until the family discovered what was stored inside and realized it looked like something out of a movie.

A 250cc motorcycle that can reach 560 km with a 14-liter tank, features disc brakes on both wheels and is among the most well-known in Brazil.
