8-Year Taxi Veteran Switches to Freight, Kida U7 Becomes a Wealth-Building Tool for Urban Distribution

　　Having worked in the taxi industry for 8 years, Liu Ningning has spent years with a steering wheel in hand and knows well the ins and outs and hardships of urban road transport. In pursuit of more stable income and a freer work rhythm, he resolutely left the taxi industry and shifted to urban distribution freight in Jinan and its surrounding areas. After careful selection, he bought a JAC 1 Truck Kida U7 and has now operated it stably for more than a year. Focusing on dedicated delivery of factory furniture and cardboard boxes, he relies on the vehicle's hardcore strength to easily handle daily urban distribution and short-distance intercity transport, unlocking a new, efficient and money-saving way to create wealth in freight.

Choosing the Right Vehicle for Urban Distribution Transition, Adapting to Diverse Delivery Scenarios.

　　In the early days of his career change, Liu Ningning valued practicality, stability, and cost-effectiveness most, because in the freight industry, the vehicle is the core tool for earning money. Today, he mainly focuses on Jinan and surrounding areas, primarily serving fixed factory customers, with a small number of platform orders, and mainly transports light and bulky goods such as furniture and cardboard boxes.

　　In daily operations, his transport rhythm is very regular: average daily mileage is about 300 km, and a regular single load is around 2 tons. The ample capacity fully meets daily order demands. In addition to short-distance urban delivery, when large customer orders come in, he also takes on intercity transport. His longest one-way trip was to Rongcheng, Weihai, about 700 km in total. The Kida U7 remained stable throughout and never let him down, perfectly adapting to his combined long- and short-distance delivery scenarios.

Pure Electric Delivers Ultimate Savings, Cutting High Operating Costs in One Year.

　　Talking about the core reason for choosing a pure electric mini truck, Liu Ningning said bluntly that "saving money is the biggest advantage." Compared with traditional fuel trucks, the Kida U7 has a very prominent advantage in vehicle operating costs. He has a dedicated charging pile at home, making daily charging convenient and worry-free. After more than a year of actual measurement and calculation, this vehicle's energy cost per kilometer is more than RMB 0.4 lower than that of a fuel vehicle. Accumulated over time, it can save a considerable amount of fuel expenses in a year.

　　At the same time, the Kida U7 is equipped with CATL's third-generation single-pack battery. With 64 kWh of electricity, it achieves a CLTC pure electric range of 320 km, fully covering his average daily commuting and delivery mileage of 300 km. A full charge meets a whole day's operational needs, with no need to recharge midway and delay taking orders. The range is solid and not inflated.

Car-Like Truck Offers Comfortable Driving, Making High-Intensity Operations Less Tiring.

　　With 8 years of taxi driving experience, Liu Ningning has extremely high requirements for ride comfort. The Kida U7 features a car-like truck design concept, completely breaking the traditional mini truck's pain points of bumpiness, cramped space, and fatigue, delivering a comfortable experience comparable to a passenger car.

　　In daily operations, he takes on two or three delivery tasks a day, with frequent starts and stops and shuttling through urban streets and alleys being the norm. However, thanks to the vehicle's excellent chassis tuning and comfortable cabin design, long hours of driving do not cause backache or physical and mental exhaustion, and he still handles high-intensity operations with ease.

　　Intelligent configurations further greatly improve driving convenience. The Kida U7 adopts a 14-inch smart large screen, high-definition reversing camera, and voice control system. Daily navigation, calls, and multimedia operations can all be completed by voice control, without looking down, making driving safer. The reversing camera image is clear and precisely avoids blind spots in narrow-space operations. Whether shuttling through narrow urban roads or reversing to unload in factory warehouses, it can be controlled precisely.

Backed by Hardcore Strength, Both Loading and Passage Are Excellent.

　　For the transport needs of light and bulky goods such as furniture and cardboard boxes, the Kida U7's loading capacity is virtually tailor-made. The vehicle has an extra-large, regular cargo box and can carry about 14 cubic meters of goods per trip, with extremely high space utilization. It easily handles large-volume light and bulky cargo orders, doing the work of two trips in one and greatly improving transport efficiency. It is also equipped with a 750 mm ultra-low cargo platform design, saving time and effort when handling furniture and cardboard boxes.

　　In terms of passage flexibility, the vehicle's body height is only 2,070 mm, allowing it to easily pass through urban basements and height-restricted sections in factory areas. It is unafraid of narrow roads in urban streets and parks, enabling unobstructed urban travel and perfectly adapting to the "last mile" transport scenario in urban distribution.

　　Power and load-bearing performance are equally outstanding. The Kida-exclusive electric chassis is paired with a 2.5-ton-class rear axle, offering a solid and stable structure and strong load-bearing capacity. The vehicle is equipped with a 100 kW high-power motor, with peak torque up to 270 N·m. It starts quickly, accelerates smoothly, has ample power for overtaking in the city and climbing slopes, and remains powerful even when fully loaded. Whether on flat urban roads or suburban slopes, it travels smoothly.

　　From taxi driver to urban distribution freight operator, Liu Ningning's story is an epitome of the struggles of millions of truck friends. In the future, JAC 1 Truck will continue to refine its products, be a trustworthy No. 1 partner on the road for truck friends, continue to accompany truck friends on every order trip, and protect the returns of every effort.
