Tianli
Engineered for New Zealand's rugged terrains and demanding micro-freight profiles. Explore our heavy-duty solutions configured for Waka Kotahi compliance.
New Zealand's commercial and industrial landscape is undergoing a monumental transition toward electrification. Driven by the government's Emissions Reduction Plan (ERP) and the pressing demand to decarbonize agricultural transport, enterprises across Auckland, Christchurch, and the Bay of Plenty are seeking rugged, cost-effective alternatives to diesel-powered utility vehicles.
Tianli International Trade Group stands at the forefront of this revolution. By bridging Chinese manufacturing prowess with local compliance frameworks, we supply electric cargo tricycles specifically designed to thrive in New Zealand's horticultural farms, Marlborough viticulture projects, and tight urban corridors.
Our heavy-duty e-tricycles deliver exceptional torque profiles to conquer Canterbury's undulating farm contours, while maintaining a near-zero carbon footprint, allowing Kiwi businesses to fulfill sustainability goals without sacrificing payload capacities.

Unlike domestic utility tricycles, our export-grade models designed for New Zealand feature advanced electric drivetrains, premium battery chemistries, and heavy-duty structural reinforcement.
Equipped with Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4) cell chemistry, offering up to 3,000 charge cycles, intelligent Battery Management Systems (BMS) for thermal safety, and reliable performance in cold Southern Alps microclimates.
To resist coastal marine salinity and wet conditions in New Zealand's orchards, our chassis and cargo beds undergo a multi-stage hot-dip galvanization and robotic powder coating to guarantee zero rust propagation.
Featuring a selectable electronic low/high gear ratio transaxle. This provides the necessary hill-climbing torque for fully loaded cargo beds climbing gradients up to 25 degrees on rugged farm terrain.
Importing off-road utility vehicles into New Zealand requires strict adherence to WorkSafe guidelines and Waka Kotahi (NZ Transport Agency) classification regulations. Tianli specializes in customizing build-sheets to guarantee compliance upon arrival.
From single farm customizations to multi-brand enterprise fleets, Tianli ensures uninterrupted operations through optimized procurement and technical support.
We provide extensive custom engineering capabilities. Whether your New Zealand operation requires dynamic hydraulic tipping trays, fully enclosed high-capacity box configurations for suburban courier delivery, or customized orchard collection crates, our factory outputs tailored cargo structures designed exactly around your workflow.
Combined with specialized chassis dimensions ranging from 1.5M to 1.8M, our systems integrate easily with existing material handling equipment.

Located in Shandong, our state-of-the-art production plant operates under strict global automotive standards. With over a decade of dedication to EV exports, our factory maintains a production capability exceeding 200 light commercial electric vehicles and utility units monthly.
Our assembly process features automated laser-cutting, high-tolerance robotic welding cells, and an electrocoating line to ensure a lifetime of anti-corrosion protection. Each electric tricycle undergoes comprehensive dynamic testing before crating, including gradient climbing simulation, maximum load brake testing, and simulated rainfall water-ingress insulation assessments.

The demand for sustainable commercial micro-mobility solutions in New Zealand has escalated. Businesses are facing dual pressures: escalating fuel levies and strict emissions reporting mandates. While full-size electric delivery vans require substantial initial capital investment and present challenges in narrow lane operations, electric utility tricycles (e-tricycles) present an optimal middle ground.
A typical 1.8M cargo tricycle offers a payload capacity exceeding 1,000 kg, rivaling traditional utility trailers and small pickup trucks, yet runs at a fraction of the operational cost. Charging a 72V 100Ah LFP battery pack using New Zealand's grid costs less than $3.50 NZD, providing up to 100 kilometers of driving. This reduces per-kilometer operational expenses by up to 85% compared to petrol-fueled light commercial vehicles.
The compact physical width of e-tricycles (typically 1.0M to 1.3M) allows operators to navigate between narrow rows in kiwifruit orchards or pipfruit plantations. This eliminates double-handling, allowing pickers to harvest directly into the vehicle's bin and drive straight to packing sheds. In dense urban centers like Wellington or Auckland, these vehicles navigate congestion and utilize narrow alleyways where conventional delivery vans cannot park, accelerating turnaround times.
New Zealand's terrain demands highly engineered drivetrains. Standard light electric vehicles often fail on steep inclines. Our custom models integrate active liquid-cooled BLDC motors coupled with auxiliary low-range gearboxes, ensuring continuous torque delivery on steep slopes under maximum load. Combined with heavy-duty leaf spring rear suspension and structural steel chassis rails, these utility units are built to withstand demanding industrial operations.
