If we were to ask which Chinese phrase is very popular overseas, the phrase "Please pay attention when reversing", which was brought to us by the domestic "tricycle", would have to be on the top of the list today.
Tricycle is a very Chinese transportation, its economy and practicality have been recognized by domestic users for a long time, and it is widely used in the fields of commuting, short-distance carrying, sanitation and cleaning, express delivery and logistics, etc. This function is also exported, and it is getting more and more popular in China. This function is also exported, more and more influence to overseas markets and users.
For example, in the farms of some European developed countries, tricycles from China are becoming a practical tool for material transportation; in Southeast Asian countries, Chinese electric tricycles are also becoming an important local passenger carrier, and an important participant in the electrification of local transportation.
In this issue, we will talk about four domestic "triple jumpers" that are very hot on the export, and these cars have two common characteristics:
First, look at the appearance of the shape will be reminiscent of many movie clips;
Secondly, after watching for a long time, it is easy to unconsciously hum the "brainwashing song" of foreign countries.
The four export models introduced in this issue are all from Xuzhou Zhiyun Electric Vehicle Co.Ltd.(Taizhou Shuangyi Vehicle Co.,Ltd.). In South Asia, Southeast Asia, Central and South America, these vehicles are mainly used as light cabs, with different names, the more common name is E-rickshaw or tuk-tuk.
01 A somewhat romantic single-row seat
K01 and K02 are two single-seat tuk-tuks of the same size, with body dimensions of 2650*1100*1750mm, and have the classic tuk-tuk exterior color scheme, i.e., blue canopy with yellow body and white canopy with black body.
K01
K02
The appearance of the K01 is slightly more square, designed with round-cornered parallelogram headlights surrounded by black decorative strips and running through the symmetrical headlights, the overall shape resembles the eyepatch of Batman in DC Comics. With the wide front wheel mudguards, it creates a more masculine sense of vision.
The K02's lines are softer, and the entire car is more rounded from front to rear, with raised round lens headlights in retro shape, creating a significant difference from the K01.
This type of car is especially practical, so its ride setup is the most important thing for users.
The space advantage of K01 and K02 is very obvious, which is highlighted in the second row. After the actual test, if the body is small, basically can satisfy 3 people to ride. Due to the horizontal and vertical design of the rear of the car, the headroom in the rear row is very abundant. For carrying passengers, this kind of space performance is especially important.
In addition, the K01 and K02 have also created many practical storage compartments inside. For example, K01 is designed with 1 deep quadrilateral storage compartment on each side of the left and right sides of the handlebar direction, which is convenient for the driver to store food, cups of water, phones or other small objects. At the same time, in the position of the handbrake, K01 also set up a cup holder, storage and access to water cups for the driver is also very practical and friendly.
In comparison, the K02's center console area is not as spacious as the K01's, but the K02 is just as meticulous when it comes to storage design. For example, the K02 provides the driver with a very wide, deep-bucketed storage compartment on both sides of the operating handle, which can provide quite ample storage volume.
Performance is the biggest difference between these two vehicles. the K01 is designed for a top speed of 45km/h, and can be equipped with an optional drive motor rated at 2,000W, which is of brushless DC type. Power battery, K01 can be adapted to lead-acid and lithium form, mileage can exceed 130km.
The power output of K02 is better than that of K01, K02 can be equipped with a rated power of up to 4000W drive motor, the motor type is brushless AC, the power battery is also common to both lead-acid and lithium-ion, the maximum design speed can be as high as 65km/h, and the pure electric range can be more than 135km.
In short, K01 and K02 are two very classic lightweight cabs in the three-wheeled export category, and are also very popular with tourists in many Southeast Asian countries.
02 A double row of seats that focuses on practicality
The other two for the two-row seat K03, K04, these two cars whether it is styling, or the whole car configuration is extremely close to the two very prominent practicality of the passenger tuk-tuk. The two rows of seats on the opposite side of the design highlights the product information very directly: more people, more money.
K04
Considering the number of passengers and safety, both K03 and K04 have more handrails and pull handles inside the vehicle to facilitate passengers to keep their body balance.
The main difference between these two models lies in the modeling, K04 rugged, K03 relatively delicate. Size of these two cars are 2950*1000*1800mm, designed for a maximum speed of 45km/h, equipped with 2000W brushless DC motor, the power battery is also adapted to lead-acid and lithium-ion, the battery capacity of 72V100AH, pure electric range can be more than 120km.
On the K02, K03 and K04 models, some elements popular in the domestic market have also been incorporated, such as a more stylish high-definition LCD display.
03 Reasons for export popularity
There are several obvious reasons why Chinese tricycles have become popular overseas, including developed markets like Europe and the United States:
First, cost-effective. Even with the cost of export transportation and customs clearance, domestic tricycles still have a very competitive price and very low cost of use.
Second, high applicability. Whether it is carrying goods, or for transportation, tricycles can show excellent applicability, and low modification costs, large space for play. Take Europe and the United States as an example, its developed farm operations on the domestic tricycle there is a greater demand, such as through the modification of the cargo box, the vehicle can be upgraded to a convenient tool for the transportation of horses. In addition to the small and flexible tricycle, the relatively narrow roads in Europe are also more friendly, such as three-wheeled sanitation vehicles.
Third, high stability. Domestic tricycle technology is mature, stable quality, and relatively simple structure, low risk of export after-sales.
Fourth, innovative business model. Based on the above three characteristics, the domestic three-wheeled vehicles overseas also gave birth to a new business model, the most typical in developing countries or underdeveloped markets to form a suitable local conditions of the network car business, rental and sharing business.
Fifth, entertainment is being highlighted. Now some manufacturers are plowing into the cost-effective at the same time, but also the domestic popularity of some of the intelligent Internet function gradually into the export of tricycles, which makes the tricycle entertainment function greatly improved, and through this to find more possibilities in the new market.
To summarize, China's tricycle is becoming the world's tricycle.
