The trend of national oil to electricity conversion, cost-effective and high

The local commercial van market has always been dominated by Japanese brands, but the times have changed, and domestic products that are “flat, beautiful and upright” are becoming more and more popular. The new Dongfeng Forthing R100 is positioned as a small and medium-sized pure electric van, with a length of 4,525mm, a width of 1,610mm, a height of 1,900mm, and a wheelbase of 3,050mm. With its slim dimensions, the new vehicle has a narrow loading and unloading space, easy parking and turnaround convenience, and it can also enter and exit most of the parking lots with ease. At the same time, the new car is equipped with left and right double sliding doors and an upward-opening tailgate, which makes it particularly convenient to pick up and store goods, and customers can also choose different styles of wheel covers according to their preferences, so that you can match the retro with the sporty. The Hong Kong version of the G100R is available in 2-seater and 5-seater options, and this test drive is the former.

Cargo capacity of 5.2 cubic meters is the largest in its class, and the equipment is comparable to that of a private car

Dongfeng Forthing R100 has a total cargo capacity of 5.2 cubic meters, the largest in its class. Compartment hopper made of embossed aluminum, beautiful and durable design, and 984kg load capacity is also the top of its class. “To do a good job, one must first make good use of the tools”, plus the pure electric van does not need to be fueled, which greatly reduces operating expenses. The cabin is stylish and comfortable, with the cockpit and cargo compartment separated by a mesh partition, and the equipment is comparable to that of a private car, including an electronic instrument panel, a color center screen, an electronic rear-view mirror, a knob-type gear shifter, factory air-conditioning, and a USB charging station, among others. On the safety front, a rear parking camera, dual airbags and ESC electronically controlled body stabilization are standard. The suspension is a combination of front independent MacPherson and rear steel plate springs, front disc and rear drum hydraulic brakes with ABS+EBD system, with a maximum climbing degree of 26.7%, and no difficulty in traveling sloping roads.

Competent performance: DC fast charging in 1.5 hours

The Dongfeng Forthing R100 single-motor rear-wheel drive G100R is equipped with a 41.86kWh lithium iron phosphate battery from Ningde Times, with a horsepower of 60kW (81.6ps), a torque of 220Nm, a maximum speed of 100km/h, and a 5-year or 200,000km warranty on the battery. 252km of WLTP range isn’t outstanding, but it is enough to cope with the daily needs. Time is money. Time is money, and the G100R supports DC fast charging, with a full 100% charge taking just 1.5 hours, and a 30-80% charge in half an hour. The charging station is located right behind the logo on the front of the vehicle, and the van also has a built-in power recovery system. 82 ps of horsepower is ordinary, but the 220Nm of torque makes it easy to drive, even with a weight of 2,510kg, so it’s a good performer in daily transportation work. The Van is equipped with ESP power-assisted steering and has a minimum radius of maneuver of 5.95M. It can maneuver flexibly around curves, but when encountering bumpy and uneven roads, it is recommended to slow down and drive through them. The other brake stroke is long, not a big problem after adaptation.
