TQ Wuling launches Porta EV panel van in Malaysia with 300 km and 400 km variants priced from RM99,800

By Eve

TQ Wuling has officially launched the Porta EV panel van in Malaysia, offering two variants named after their CLTC ranges: a 300 km model priced at an estimated RM99,800 and a 400 km model at RM105,800 (OTR, commercial registration before insurance for Peninsular Malaysia). The electric van features a 102 PS/180 Nm rear motor, 6.5 cubic metre cargo capacity, and five doors including two sliding doors, targeting the commercial vehicle segment. This launch follows several months of pre-booking availability and marks the second TQ Wuling model in the Malaysian market after the Bingo.

Why it matters

The sub RM110,000 pricing positions electric panel vans as a viable option for Malaysian commercial fleets, potentially accelerating demand for workplace and depot charging infrastructure. Fleet operators evaluating EV transitions now have a competitively priced light commercial vehicle option with practical range specifications for urban delivery operations.

Zeekr unveils 9X plug-in hybrid SUV in Europe with 910bhp and 9.5 minute fast charge

Chinese manufacturer Zeekr launched its 9X six-seater SUV at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, priced from €119,500 (around £100,900). The 2.9-tonne vehicle combines a 2.0-litre turbocharged engine with a 55.1kWh battery and 900V electrical system, delivering almost 910bhp and a 111-mile electric-only range. The 900V architecture enables 10% to 80% charging in 9.5 minutes.

Why it matters

The 9X's 900V fast charging capability and premium positioning signal intensifying competition in the high-end electrified SUV segment, potentially driving demand for ultra-rapid charging infrastructure at luxury destinations. The vehicle's sub-10 minute charging time sets a new benchmark that may influence CPO investment decisions for premium charging networks across Europe.

Nottingham City Transport deploys first six electric double-deckers with £4.5m EMCCA backing

Nottingham City Transport has taken delivery of six Wrightbus StreetDeck Electroliner Gen 2.0 electric double-deckers, its first zero emission double-deck buses, following completion of a 62 vehicle electric single-deck rollout. The Mayor of the East Midlands and East Midlands Combined County Authority contributed £4.5m towards the double-deckers, which feature a 442kWh powertrain and up to 275 miles of range. Energy partner VEV has completed overnight charging infrastructure at NCT's Parliament Street garage, with further electric double-deckers due before Christmas to bring the zero emission fleet to 93 vehicles, representing about one-third of the total fleet.

Why it matters

The deployment demonstrates scaled depot charging infrastructure delivery by VEV and signals continued public procurement momentum for electric double-deck buses in UK cities, with EMCCA funding enabling fleet electrification beyond initial single-deck phases. The 442kWh battery specification and overnight charging model provide a reference point for operators planning similar double-deck conversions.

Hanoi deploys 53 VinFast electric buses on four routes as part of 2030 full fleet conversion target

Hanoi public transport operator Transerco introduced 53 new VinFast electric buses on routes 22A, 22B, 30 and 50 on 5 and 6 October 2026, replacing diesel vehicles. The deployment comprises 28 VinFast Green Bus vehicles and 25 VinFast EB8 buses, all manufactured in 2026 with 60 passenger capacity. Transerco aims to increase green converted vehicles to more than 51% of its fleet by end 2026, supporting Hanoi's municipal programme to replace all petrol and diesel public buses with electric and green energy vehicles by 2030.

Why it matters

The rollout demonstrates accelerating municipal fleet electrification in Southeast Asia and signals sustained procurement demand for electric bus manufacturers and charging infrastructure providers in Vietnam's capital. Transerco's 51% green fleet target by end 2026 and the 2030 full conversion deadline create a defined timeline for CPOs and equipment suppliers to secure contracts in Hanoi's public transport network.
