On March 27, Chery RELY Weilin R08 EV made its debut at the 2026 Hefei New Energy Commercial Vehicle Exhibition. As Chery's first intelligent pure electric pickup with a ladder frame, the Weilin R08 EV drew considerable attention at the Chery Commercial Vehicle booth with core advantages such as high load capacity, true intelligence, fast charging, and low operating costs. Visitors flocked to inquire and experience it on site, making it a focal point of the exhibition.
The 2026 Hefei New Energy Commercial Vehicle Exhibition aims to promote the upgrading of green logistics and smart transportation, bringing together cutting-edge industry technologies and a full range of commercial vehicle products. Chery Commercial Vehicle exhibited with a complete product matrix, offering logistics companies, individual wealth-creation users, and engineering and agricultural practitioners lower-carbon, more efficient, and more reliable new energy vehicle solutions. The Weilin R08 EV is the mainstay among them for smart logistics scenarios.
High Load Capacity, More Cargo: Hardcore Load-Bearing Capability Empowers Green and Efficient Transportation
With high load capacity and more cargo as its core, the Weilin R08 EV delivers class-leading transportation efficiency. Its low-carbon pure electric architecture meets high-frequency scenarios such as heavy-load transportation and outdoor operations, helping green logistics land efficiently.
The Weilin R08 EV features a body-on-frame structure and ladder frame chassis, with outstanding torsion and compression resistance. The ladder frame directly bears heavy-load pressure and resists deformation even on bumpy roads and under long-term full-load conditions, delivering stable and reliable driving quality. The front uses double-wishbone independent suspension, ensuring precise wheel control and less body roll in turns when fully loaded; the rear is equipped with an integral axle leaf spring suspension, offering strong impact resistance so the vehicle does not sag or lose shape when fully loaded, and is more durable on rough roads, supporting efficient green transportation with reliable quality.
In terms of power, the Weilin R08 EV is equipped with a high-torque motor. The two-wheel-drive version delivers 350 N·m of torque, while the four-wheel-drive version reaches 540 N·m, making it easy to handle fully loaded starts, hill climbs, and getting unstuck at construction sites. The vehicle comes standard with 265 wide tires for stronger grip and more efficient power output, and also supports a 3.1-ton towing capacity to meet needs such as equipment transfer and agricultural machinery towing. At the same time, a 240 mm high ground clearance and a reasonably laid-out battery pack provide excellent passability, making driving on complex roads more reassuring. The long cargo box version features a 1.81-meter class-leading ultra-long cargo box with regular space and large loading capacity, reducing round-trip energy consumption through higher single-trip transportation efficiency, making green wealth creation more efficient and more economical.
True Intelligence, Greater Safety: Smart Empowerment for Travel and Safety Escort for Green Operations
With intelligent configurations and all-dimensional safety protection, the Weilin R08 EV aligns with the needs of green logistics and efficient operations, bringing users a convenient and reassuring vehicle experience and helping upgrade smart mobility.
In terms of intelligence, the vehicle comes standard across the lineup with internet connectivity and remote control functions. Users can turn on the air conditioning in advance via their mobile phones, so the cabin is cool upon entry in summer and warm in winter, greatly improving comfort. It also supports vehicle status inquiries and real-time location sharing, making personal use more reassuring and fleet management more efficient. Higher-trim models are equipped with 540° panoramic imaging, leaving no blind spots when passing on narrow roads, reversing to unload, or navigating construction sites, effectively reducing the risk of scrapes.
In terms of safety, the vehicle adopts a ladder-frame chassis body, with a sturdy structure and thorough protection; dual airbags are standard from the base model, providing basic protection for occupants. Tire pressure monitoring is standard across the lineup, providing real-time warnings for abnormal tire pressure and avoiding the risk of blowouts on long trips and under heavy loads. Higher-trim models are equipped with emergency braking, which can actively decelerate to avoid danger in unexpected situations. Together with multiple safety designs, it provides a solid safety foundation to escort every green and efficient trip.
Fast Charging, Low Operating Costs: Efficient Recharging and Low-Carbon Operations Support Green Logistics
With efficient fast charging and high-power discharge capability, the Weilin R08 EV deeply aligns with the exhibition's theme of green, low-carbon, intelligent, and efficient operation, providing clean energy solutions for multi-scenario operations with lower energy consumption and higher efficiency.
In terms of charging, models with a 66.5 kWh battery pack come standard with 2C fast charging. At room temperature, charging from 15% to 80% takes only about 25 minutes, allowing quick recharging in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee. Efficient recharging during busy farming seasons, rush jobs, and transportation breaks ensures that charging never delays wealth-creation opportunities, greatly improving time utilization.
In terms of operations, the vehicle has high-power discharge capability. The front 15 kW + rear 6 kW external discharge can reliably power equipment such as plant protection drones, cutting machines, impact drills, and air pumps, replacing fuel generators with clean electricity, further reducing carbon emissions and operating costs, and truly achieving low-carbon operations. It covers multiple scenarios such as plant protection, infrastructure, emergency repair, and mobile business, supporting the comprehensive implementation of green logistics and smart transportation with efficient, low-carbon, and diverse operational capabilities.
It is reported that there will also be a variety of interactive activities and exquisite gifts on site. Interested friends are welcome to visit Booth Z04 in Hall 5 of the Hefei Binhu International Convention and Exhibition Center from March 27 to 29 to experience up close the hardcore strength of Chery's first true intelligent pure electric pickup with a ladder frame.
