BYD Lands 100 T75 Electric Trucks in Mexico
BYD Trucks Mexico says the first 100 T75 electric trucks have arrived at Lazaro Cardenas, aimed at urban logistics, last-mile delivery, and corporate fleet routes.
First T75 Shipment Arrives
BYD Trucks Mexico said the first 100 T75 electric trucks have arrived at the port of Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan, giving the company a larger pool of medium-duty electric trucks for Mexican fleet buyers.
El Financiero reported that the shipment is the first in a series BYD has planned for Mexico. The company said future shipments will include additional models, including the V9 cargo van and the T35 light truck.
Built For Urban Routes
The T75 is aimed at urban logistics, last-mile delivery, goods movement, and corporate fleet routes. BYD said the truck offers a payload capacity of 4,450 kg and range of more than 200 km, putting it in the lane for daily city and suburban work rather than long-haul freight.
That operating profile is where commercial EVs have made the most practical progress: repeatable routes, depot charging, predictable dwell time, and payloads that do not require a Class 8 battery pack.
Supply Is The Signal
For fleets watching electrification, the important part is not just the model spec. It is availability. BYD framed the shipment as a supply signal to operators that want to electrify at larger scale.
Mexico's broader electrified-vehicle market is also moving. El Financiero cited industry data showing roughly 200,000 hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and fully electric vehicles sold in Mexico during 2024, up more than 70% from the prior year.
For urban distribution fleets, the next test is less about whether electric trucks can run the route and more about whether purchase price, charging, service support, and residual values line up well enough to repeat the order.
