Brand Ownership Explanation: There are multiple descriptions regarding current brand ownership and naming — some materials refer to it as "REACH" (owned by Weiqiao Pilot Group), while others refer to it as "BAIC REACH" (owned by Shandong REACH New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd.). In fact, BAIC REACH is a brand under Shandong REACH New Energy Vehicle Co., Ltd., which was jointly invested and established by Weiqiao Pilot Group, Beijing Automotive Manufacturing Factory, and Linyi City Development Group. Therefore, both expressions represent different dimensions of interpretation. In addition, the brand naming of "REACH" is consistent with the five major product brands "Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, Xin" constructed under Weiqiao Pilot Group, reflecting the cultural thinking of new vehicle manufacturing forces in the new energy commercial vehicle track. This article is elaborated taking "BAIC REACH" as the main thread.
The predecessor of BAIC REACH can be traced back to the company's initial establishment in January 2011, with early years positioned in traditional small commercial vehicle R&D and manufacturing. 2022 was an important node for enterprise development — the company completed the strategic relocation from the original site to the Lingang Economic Development Zone, Linyi City, Shandong Province. The new factory covers an area of 609 mu, possessing the basic conditions for large-scale production. This relocation not only directly obtained production qualifications for 50,000 new energy commercial vehicles but also deeply integrated the enterprise into Linyi's industrial map as the "City of China Market, Capital of Logistics", providing unique geographical resources for subsequent new energy transformation.
2023 was a key year for BAIC REACH's brand influence to leap from regional to national. On March 27, 2023, the company's first model — "New Energy MINI Truck" officially went on the market. This model was positioned as a brand new commercial vehicle category, aiming to fill the blank in compliant new energy models in the urban last-mile delivery field. It achieved nearly 100 licensed vehicles in the first month. In May of the same year, "New Species Drive Future — BAIC REACH New Energy Commercial Vehicle New Product Launch and Global Business Summit" was held in Linyi, concentrating on the display of two core product matrices: New Energy MINI Truck and New Energy "Flagship" Small Truck. The brand strategy was fully clarified. In July, this model successfully landed on CCTV-2 "Forging National Brands" program, becoming the first new energy MINI truck category to obtain national media certification, with brand awareness greatly improved. In October of the same year, the new energy "Flagship" Small Truck officially went on the market, focusing on medium-short distance urban distribution logistics scenarios, equipped with CATL 55.7kWh batteries and high-quality three-electric systems, further broadening the product coverage.
2024 to 2026 was the explosive period for BAIC REACH's transformation from a brand newcomer to a market segment leader. The company's core models — REACH T10 (New Energy MINI Truck) and REACH T30 (New Energy Small Truck), relying on precise market positioning and significant differentiation advantages, stood out counter-trend in the 2025 new energy mini/small truck market — sales growth for many months reached or even exceeded 700%, and ranked 7th in the mini truck monthly sales list in December 2025, with a year-on-year growth rate as high as 47.7%, ranking far ahead of all brands. As of early 2026, the brand has comprehensively expanded into multiple categories such as new energy VAN models (REACH · Xin V70) and cold chain specialized vehicles, laying a solid product foundation for building a new energy matrix covering all urban distribution logistics scenarios.
BAIC REACH's product matrix is based on the Confucian culture's "Five Constants" as the brand architecture, primarily targeting the new energy urban logistics vehicle niche. It uses "REACH · Ren", "REACH · Xin", "REACH · Zhi", "REACH · Li", and "REACH · Yi" as the five major product sequences, among which the currently mass-produced models are mainly distributed in the "Ren" and "Xin" two major sequences.
REACH · Ren T10 (New Energy MINI Truck) is BAIC REACH's famous work, also the pioneering model of this category. T10 is positioned for urban last-mile delivery "last kilometer", the body is agile and compact, minimum turning radius not exceeding 5.4 meters, capable of flexibly shuttling through complex road conditions such as narrow alleyways, underground garages. In terms of technical configuration, T10 is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a peak power of 30kW, rated load 540 kg, uses a through-frame cargo box to ensure carrying stability, and provides economic and sport driving modes. Its biggest advantage lies in "road rights dividends" — relying on pure electric drive compliant design, green plates can be obtained in mainstream cities, enjoying urban road rights, making it the ideal choice for high-frequency scenarios such as express sorting, supermarket restocking, and community group buying. In terms of price dimension, the starting price of T10 is only 39,800 yuan. Extremely low purchase threshold and electricity consumption of 5 cents per kilometer make it a "low-cost wealth creation tool".
REACH · Ren T30 (New Energy Small Truck) is positioned for medium-short distance, balancing urban and rural, emphasizing multi-scenario adaptation. This model is equipped with a 3.8-meter long cargo box, cargo volume reaches 12 cubic meters, can load a large amount of cargo at once, greatly reducing the number of round trips. The chassis uses a 2.5-ton level rear axle and a high-strength frame of 2 longitudinal and 11 transverse, rated load can reach above 2 tons. Whether it is agricultural and sideline products, frozen fresh food, or heavy building materials and fertilizers, they can be easily carried. In terms of range performance, it can reach 280 kilometers under CLTC conditions, supports fast and slow charging, meeting the needs of cross-urban/rural short-distance transport. Electricity consumption is only about 1 yuan per kilometer, saving 20,000-30,000 yuan in operating costs annually compared to traditional fuel vehicles.
REACH · Xin V70 (New Energy VAN and Cold Chain Vehicle) is BAIC REACH's layout in the high-end new energy micro-van field, recommended retail price is 148,800 yuan. This model takes maximizing space utilization as the core design concept, can be used for daily logistics transportation, and can be expanded to urban cold chain delivery based on scene requirements. It is an important model for BAIC REACH to intervene in high-value freight scenarios.
New Energy "Flagship" Small Truck and Special Vehicle Matrix is BAIC REACH's extended product line. The "Flagship" small truck is equipped with CATL 55.7kWh battery and Dihe permanent magnet synchronous motor, range 241 kilometers, cargo box volume reaches 11.3 cubic meters, fully adapting to urban distribution logistics transport scenarios such as daily necessities, supermarket distribution, etc. In the specialized vehicle field, BAIC REACH has also developed models such as cold chain refrigerated vehicles, medical deep cold vehicles, wing display sales vehicles, micro fire trucks, widely serving various professional uses including supermarket restocking, community group buying, emergency rescue, etc.
BAIC REACH also includes fuel power products, such as the REACH SUV series produced in 2004 (equipped with 2.2L LJ491QE1 engine, 9.6L fuel consumption, 2.2L displacement, guide price 88,300-103,300 yuan). But these models are not the main part of the brand's new energy strategy.
2025 was the year BAIC REACH made a comprehensive leap from a new brand to a high-growth leader. Its sales and brand penetration received breakthrough growth. In the market environment where the industry was generally declining, BAIC REACH grasped the structural dividends of urban logistics vehicles "oil to electric", achieving leapfrog growth through product differentiation matching precise scenarios:
August Counter-Trend Breakout: Under the unfavorable situation where the total sales of the new energy micro/small vehicle market declined 12.4% month-on-month, BAIC REACH, with a year-on-year growth rate of 751.5%, successfully joined the top ten in national sales, becoming one of the fastest-growing brands in the industry that month.
December Single Month "Speed Double King": Monthly sales 1959 vehicles, ranked 7th in the mini truck overall market, market share reached 3.3%. Not only did the year-on-year growth rate reach 47.7%, but the month-on-month growth rate also exceeded 170.6%. Both growth rate indicators led the entire mini truck market.
Full Year High Growth Confirmation: From a full year cumulative perspective, the cumulative sales of the mini truck market in January-September 2025 declined 10% year-on-year, the overall growth rate slowed down, but BAIC REACH was not only not affected by the macro environment, but also successfully joined the industry forefront relying on high growth rate.
New Energy Mini/Small Truck Rapid Climb: Since 2025, the total sales of this niche category increased significantly. REACH Automobile relied on two core products T10 and T30 to rapidly expand its share, becoming a "dark horse in the new energy mini/small truck industry".
In terms of customer structure and service system, BAIC REACH has established long-term strategic cooperation with domestic mainstream vehicle manufacturers and core express logistics, operation platform enterprises, ensuring high-quality order sources. Currently, the enterprise has established a relatively complete sales network and after-sales service system in the core sales areas of national new energy logistics vehicles, covering one-stop intelligent services such as vehicle monitoring, capacity analysis, access management, helping urban logistics distribution systems upgrade in the digital direction of "information interconnection, data sharing, standard specification".
BAIC REACH's technology route can be summarized as "Positive Development + International Top Supply Chain Integration + Scenario Adaptation" — not directly competing with industry leaders in complex technical indicators, but taking terminal logistics scenarios as anchor points, precisely matching three-electric configuration and chassis performance.
Three-Electric System (Battery, Motor, Electronic Control) is the core technology foundation of BAIC REACH. The brand's power batteries all come from the global industry leader — CATL; the electronic control part is equipped with IGBT modules, supplied by top manufacturers such as CRRC, BYD, Infineon, etc. In terms of motors, permanent magnet synchronous motors of brands such as Dihe are widely used, their peak torque can reach up to 270N·m, rated power balances range and power needs under normal conditions. In terms of battery energy design, the CATL battery pack equipped on REACH · Ren T30 can provide up to 280 kilometers of range under CLTC conditions, supports fast and slow charging, effectively reducing user charging anxiety. REACH · Ren T10, due to positioning at the last-mile delivery scenario, based on equipping batteries of different capacities from 12.3-16.6kWh, precisely controls range between 120-150 kilometers, achieving maximum operational efficiency with the lowest cost structure.
Smart Cockpit and Internet of Vehicles: BAIC REACH proposed the technical concept of "Chinese-style Modern Urban Distribution Logistics New Ecosystem", building an intelligent service system covering the full vehicle lifecycle. This system can not only provide location, battery data, and health management for vehicles, but also optimize route planning and energy consumption efficiency by real-time monitoring of capacity status. Vehicle owners and operators can use data tools based on cloud platforms to conduct real-time digital control of vehicle driving status, improving fleet management efficiency.
Chassis and High-Carrying Structure Technology is the core weapon for BAIC REACH to cope with urban/rural freight heavy-load scenarios. T30 uses a 2.5-ton level rear axle and a high-strength frame of 2 longitudinal and 11 transverse. Such configuration is usually applied to heavier light truck models, but is downgraded to small truck level through engineering optimization, effectively improving the vehicle's safe carrying capacity and torsion resistance. T10 innovatively adopts non-load-bearing body, through-frame design, making the load carrying stability and structural strength of pure electric micro truck body far exceeding same-class competitors.
Safety and Protection: BAIC REACH full series models are equipped with ABS+EBD braking system as standard, ensuring braking stability and handling stability under snowy/rainy slippery road conditions. The protection ability of core electronic components reaches IP67 grade, effectively countering complex environments such as wading and dust that are easy to appear in urban logistics scenarios.
BAIC REACH's overseas strategy is centered on "Vehicle with Supporting Facilities, Scenario Customization", focusing on core target markets such as Southeast Asia, Central Asia, and Europe, building an "Export Model of Scenario Defining Demand — Vehicle + Parts Collaborative Export".
In terms of Export Planning and Performance, in 2025, REACH vehicles exported 522 units. The enterprise clearly set the 2026 export target significantly increased to 5000 units, of which the REACH brand itself target is 2000 units. While exporting whole vehicles, it drove local Linyi aluminum wheel rims and other supporting industry chain products to achieve "Collaborative Overseas Export", making upstream and downstream industry chains benefit synchronously.
In terms of Key Target Market Segmentation, the Southeast Asia market, due to early start, logistics infrastructure and transportation needs highly similar to China, became the first shipping headquarters; the European market takes high-end models adapted to local standards as the entry point, its narrow streets, developed short-distance urban delivery scenarios highly match with REACH T10/T30; the Central Asia market through customized KD parts export model, formed a trade channel with Turkey as the bridgehead, the exported parts integrate and optimize over 1000 kinds of parts into 69 core assemblies, effectively breaking through the whole vehicle import policy restrictions of some countries.
In terms of Scenario Customization Capability, BAIC REACH's overseas strategy is not directly exporting standard versions, but conducting deep secondary development according to road conditions, emission regulations, and commercial uses of different countries and regions. From the perspective of export models, the enterprise developed KD parts project for the Turkish market; for the European market, it developed scenario-specialized vehicles such as garbage removal vehicles, community micro fire trucks; for the Southeast Asia market, it provided high cost-performance commercial trade wing cars and cold chain delivery vehicles.
BAIC REACH's next development cycle will focus on the deep extension of the product matrix, continuous depth cultivation of global layout, and the complete construction of smart logistics ecosystem.
Product: the brand will continue to enrich and deepen the "Ren, Yi, Li, Zhi, Xin" five major product brand sequences, and on the basis of new energy MINI trucks, new energy small trucks, gradually extend to more niche logistics scenarios such as new energy Vans and light trucks.
