BYD eT18 chega ao Brasil com 21 toneladas, 165 km de autonomia e manutenção até 70% mais barata

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 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.

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.

The Atacama Desert, the driest place on Earth, was covered in flowers and turned into a colorful carpet with more than 200 species in the phenomenon called “desert bloom,” when atypical rains awaken seeds that had remained dormant in the soil for many years.
