The Ruichi EC75 is a battery electric light commercial vehicle produced by Ruichi New Energy (瑞驰新能源), a subsidiary of Seres Group, in China. The model was introduced in 2024 and is primarily intended for urban logistics and light passenger transport.[1]
Overview
[edit source]The EC75 is positioned as a mid-size electric van for last-mile delivery and fleet applications. It is offered in both cargo and passenger configurations, reflecting demand for electrified commercial vehicles in urban environments. Exterior styling features follow typical electric vehicle design cues, including a closed front grille. Cargo versions feature sliding side doors and rear swing doors for loading access, while passenger variants include side glazing and multi-row seating.[2] The cargo variant features a two-seat configuration and an enclosed cargo compartment, intended for logistics and delivery services. Passenger variants offer seating configurations typically ranging from 6 to 9 occupants, and are used for shuttle and light transport services.[1] The more upmarket Ruichi R5 variant offers configurations ranging from 6 to 11 occupants for export markets.
The model forms part of China's rapidly expanding new energy commercial vehicle segment, supported by government policy and increasing demand from logistics operators.[3][4] The EC75 competes in the Chinese electric van segment alongside models such as the Maxus EV30 and Wuling EV50. Growth in this segment has been driven by the expansion of e-commerce and policies encouraging the adoption of electric vehicles.[3]
