Core Trends of Chinese Electric Dump Trucks Replacing Diesel Vehicles in South American Ports (2025)
I. Policy drivers and Market background
Port Equipment Renewal Plan : In response to the global carbon reduction target, ports in many South American countries such as Chile and Brazil have included the purchase of electric equipment in their infrastructure upgrade plans, with the aim of phasing out 30% of high-emission diesel transport vehicles by 2025.
China Policy Synergy : China 's Belt and Road Initiative combines with the green transformation needs of South American ports to accelerate the export of electric dump trucks through export rebates, technology cooperation and other means.

Application cases of key feature solutions
Extreme conditions fit Enhanced battery thermal management system (temperature difference ≤5 ° C) with IP67 waterproof design to adapt to the high humidity and salt spray environment in the port of Santos, Brazil. XCMG electric ash dump truck fleet deployed in the port of Santos, Brazil, has been operating continuously for 10 months without failure
Fast CHARGING with port INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC storage and charging power station, supports 1.5-hour fast charging and battery swap mode switching in Chile Valparaiso Port introduced CATL energy storage system, daily charging efficiency increased by 40%
Load and Range 120-ton pure electric mining truck with 1575 KWH battery pack, 8 hours of heavy load operation on a single charge at the port of Buenaventura, Colombia to achieve full electrification of ore transfer

Validation of cost advantage
The life cycle cost (TCO) of electric ash dump trucks is 35% lower than that of diesel vehicles. Data from Chilean ports show that the average annual fuel savings per unit exceed 120,000 US dollars.
The BYD ETM6 model completed a 3,100-kilometer road test at the Port of Montevideo, Uruguay, with a 28% reduction in overall energy consumption costs.
Localization Services Network
Saic Hongyan has established the first electric heavy-duty truck service center in South America in the Port of Cagao, Peru, providing value-added services such as battery rental and remote diagnosis.
Chinese enterprises have jointly developed an intelligent dispatching system with South American ports. By optimizing transportation routes through Beidou positioning, the empty running rate has been reduced by 15%.
Iv. Youdaoplaceholder0 Challenges and Coping Strategies
Charging facility gap : The port of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, adopts a "mobile charging vehicle + fixed charging station" combination solution covering 90% of the operation area.
Localization Certification : Chinese electric gray dump truck through Chilean SEC certification and Brazilian INMETRO standard, breaking through technical trade barriers.
V. Future Trends
Sany Heavy Industry tests hydrogen-electric hybrid ash hopper truck at Ushuaia Port in Argentina, with range exceeding 500 km, suitable for polar port scenarios.
Market penetration is accelerating : The penetration rate of electric transport equipment at major South American ports is expected to reach 18% by the end of 2025, with Chinese brands taking over 70% of the market share.
Chinese electric gray dump trucks, with their high-adaptability technology system, full life-cycle cost advantage and localized service response , are becoming the core support force for the green transformation of South American ports.
