What happened

TQ Wuling launched the Porta EV electric van in Malaysia, a CKD model assembled at Tan Chong Motor's Jalan Segambut plant, priced at RM105,800 for the 400km CLTC variant (328km WLTP est.) with a RM99,800-estimated 300km variant available for booking only and releasing later this year. It offers 6.5m³ cargo space, over 1,000kg payload, a 595mm loading height with 270-degree rear doors for forklift access to a 1,100mm x 1,100mm pallet, RWD with a 75kW/180Nm motor and 115km/h top speed. Warranty is 5 years/120,000km on the vehicle, 5 years/200,000km on motor, battery and BMS, plus a separate 6-year/300,000km battery-cell warranty, with early-bird buyers getting a 7kW wallbox, portable charger and 3 years/60,000km free maintenance.

Why it matters

If you run or build software for last-mile delivery or fleet operations in Malaysia, this is the first locally assembled electric van with a concrete price and a 6-year/300,000km battery-cell warranty, which removes battery-replacement risk from the TCO calculation against a diesel van. But do not model fleet costs on the RM99,800 figure yet: only the RM105,800 400km variant is actually purchasable, and the cheaper 300km variant has no confirmed price and no release date beyond 'later this year'.

Discussion angle

Does a RM105,800 CKD electric van with a 6-year/300,000km battery-cell warranty actually beat a diesel van on total cost of ownership for Malaysian last-mile fleets, and what would that change for anyone building delivery or fleet-management tooling locally?
