Test Drive Report: Weichai Blue Engine X3 Mini Truck on Long-Distance Routes at Nanjing Station | Two Veteran Logistics Experts Prove It – A Premium Vehicle’s True Value Speaks for Itself!

In Nanjing’s urban logistics sector, new energy light trucks have become a profitable tool for delivery drivers thanks to their flexibility, energy efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. Selecting a reliable new energy light truck directly impacts daily operational efficiency and profitability. For this X3 light truck test drive event in Nanjing, we invited two veteran logistics professionals, Mr.Hai and Mr.Liu, to conduct hands-on tests under various working conditions. Without flowery rhetoric, the insights shared reflect authentic experiences from frontline users.

At 12:30 noon during Nanjing’s typically quiet downtown hours, Mr.Zhang—a seasoned urban delivery driver—sat behind the wheel of an X3 minivan for a test drive. The vehicle shuttled between city arteries and narrow alleys at an average speed of 40-60 km/h. After completing the route, Mr.Zhang couldn’t help but praise its durability. For daily urban logistics operations, he emphasized that ruggedness is paramount. The X3’s construction quality was evident: robust front and rear leaf springs, combined with a 760×152mm straight-through frame, exuded structural integrity. The vehicle exhibited zero rattling or unusual noises during operation, maintained exceptional stability through sharp turns and repeated start-stop cycles, and fully met the demands of high-frequency, high-intensity urban logistics—demonstrating reliable quality that commands trust.
For urban delivery operations, space translates directly to efficiency. The X3 mini truck’s cargo capacity perfectly meets Master Zhang’s operational needs, featuring a spacious and well-organized cargo area that effortlessly accommodates both bulk supermarket shipments and neighborhood delivery packages without any space wastage. With its 1750mm width and 2090mm height, the vehicle offers flexible dimensions that enable seamless navigation through narrow streets, wholesale markets, and residential areas in Nanjing’s historic districts, making it fully adaptable for all urban logistics scenarios. Notably, its energy efficiency demonstrates an impressive 3.6km range per kWh during empty runs, resulting in minimal electricity costs for daily delivery trips and substantial long-term savings.

At 8:30 a.m., traffic conditions in downtown Nanjing remained smooth. Mr.Liu, specializing in medium-and long-haul freight transportation, conducted rigorous heavy-load testing on a 2-ton X3 minivan with the air conditioning system running at full capacity throughout the journey. Despite maintaining a constant speed of 75 km/h on the city’s main thoroughfare under dual loads of full cargo and heating operation, the vehicle’s performance consistently exceeded expectations.
After comparing multiple models in its class, Master Liu openly stated that the X3 mini truck delivers exceptional value for money. With comparable configurations, its pricing is genuinely reasonable without any inflated premiums. Whether in body load capacity, powertrain performance, or daily practicality, it holds its own against other vehicles in the same price range. For logistics professionals, this makes it an affordable choice with outstanding cost-effectiveness.
What Master Liu values most is the vehicle’s impressive range performance. Contrary to expectations that heavy loads combined with air conditioning would significantly increase energy consumption, real-world tests demonstrated that 1 kWh of electricity still delivers 3.4 kilometers of range—showcasing no performance degradation. This effortlessly covers medium-to-long-distance transportation routes without frequent charging station visits, and urban intercity routes around Nanjing remain stress-free. During heavy-duty operations, the power delivery remains smooth and robust. The five-ton rear axle, paired with an upgraded widened straight-through beam, ensures stable load-bearing without sagging, providing a comfortable and secure driving experience. This completely resolves the pain points of new energy light trucks: limited endurance under heavy loads and compromised range performance.
After a test drive, the two drivers, despite having different vehicle requirements, both praised the X3 mini truck highly. For empty-city deliveries, it delivers solid durability, ample space, and fuel efficiency. When handling heavy loads, it offers excellent cost-performance, reliable range, and robust cargo capacity. Free from flashy designs, the X3 focuses on practical logistics capabilities tailored to real-world demands. This makes it the top choice for Nanjing logistics drivers seeking reliable partners to boost profitability!
