Tianli
Engineered for high load capacities, urban navigation, and environmental compliance in Mexico City's low-emission zones.
Adapting heavy-duty electric cargo transport platforms to the unique topographical and regulatory environment of Valle de México.
Mexico City represents one of the most complex logistics challenges globally. Characterized by high traffic density, narrow colonial-era streets in historical quarters like Centro Histórico and Coyoacán, and variable topography ranging from flat dry lakebeds to steep terrains in Álvaro Obregón and Cuajimalpa, traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) delivery vans suffer from severe operational inefficiency. The introduction of the municipal Plan de Acción Climática de la Ciudad de México has driven strict low-emission parameters, making transition to light electric vehicles (LEVs) and heavy-duty electric tricycles a necessity rather than an alternative.
Compared to traditional cargo vans, electric cargo tricycles of 1.5M to 1.8M box lengths yield an operational cost reduction of up to 68%. In Mexico City, where the Hoy No Circula program limits conventional vehicles based on emissions and license plates, 100% electric cargo fleets maintain unlimited access to restricted areas. Our electric three-wheel logistics vehicles bypass these regulatory constraints while requiring no complex commercial driving permits, effectively expanding the driver hiring pool for local distribution centers.
Furthermore, local density requires vehicles that occupy a smaller physical footprint. A 1.8-meter cargo container mounted on an electric tricycle chassis operates efficiently within standard motorcycle lanes and allows couriers to safely double-park in high-traffic zones without blockading main thoroughfares.
Integrate electric SUVs, sedans, and hybrid platforms into your Mexico City corporate logistics infrastructure.
Developing robust drive architectures designed for high altitude, steep inclines, and deep battery cycle profiles.
Operating a fleet at an average elevation of 2,240 meters presents specific engineering conditions. Air density decreases cooling efficiency by up to 20% for air-cooled electric drivetrains. Tianli’s engineering team has addressed this by integrating advanced liquid-cooled and thermodynamic-optimized air flow controllers on our 1.5M, 1.6M, and 1.8M electric tricycle platforms. This ensures sustained power output under heavy payloads of up to 1,000kg without thermal throttling.
Our permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSM) offer high torque density, utilizing a custom-programmed 3-speed gear transaxle for climbing slopes of up to 25% loaded. This gradient capacity is essential for neighborhoods such as Iztapalapa and Santa Fe.
The standard Lead-Acid options of past generations have been phased out for serious corporate purchasers. Tianli now deploys automotive-grade Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) packs paired with active Battery Management Systems (BMS). LFP cells provide high safety margins (combustion resistance under impact), support up to 3,000 charge-discharge cycles at 80% Depth of Discharge (DOD), and maintain chemical stability in temperature variations.
Our upcoming product roadmap includes CAN-bus standard vehicle tracking systems, allowing CDMX control centers to monitor battery state of health (SOH), real-time coordinates, geographic fencing parameters, and payload weights remotely.

Combining structural automotive supply chain networks with smart city defense architecture for high-profile institutions.
Shandong Tianli International Trade, established in 2012, operates as a comprehensive supply chain solutions provider. Over the past 12 years, we have scaled our parallel auto exports and electric commercial fleet sourcing platforms. With parallel automobile export licenses authorized directly by the Ministry of Commerce of China, we deliver complete solutions for regional distributors, e-commerce giants, and governmental institutions.
As smart cities progress, logistics infrastructure must adapt to modern low-altitude security concerns. In addition to fleet electrification, Tianli is an active developer of defense solutions for Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS). Our comprehensive integration program provides municipal government clients and private enterprise parks with UAS detection, tracking, and countermeasures.
These defense platforms protect storage facilities, distribution centers, and transportation routes against unauthorized drones. We cooperate with top-tier defense entities to construct unified monitoring networks that align security dynamics with our electric transport solutions.
Leveraging automated production networks to deliver consistent quality and high-capacity export volumes.
Tianli partners with modern manufacturing centers in China’s industrial corridors. Our operations feature smart production equipment, robot-arm welding lines for structural steel, and computerized dynamometer calibration platforms. Each cargo tricycle frame undergoes tension, load, and paint resistance testing before final packaging.
Our quality control is backed by more than 30 utility patents. We secure raw steel from top domestic mills, while keeping key electric drive components (motors and motor controllers) under tight manufacturing quality control. This close integration allows us to output over 1,500 light commercial electric vehicles monthly and guarantee shipping schedules to Latin American ports.
Our shipping team manages parallel vehicle clearance, customs documentation, and RoRo or container logistics, ensuring that zero-mileage vehicles arrive at Manzanillo or Lázaro Cárdenas ports ready for local registration and operation.
Retaining original supplier offerings, from eco-conscious sedans to industrial low-altitude drone technologies.
Ensuring legal import, hassle-free customs clearance, and roadworthiness compliance within Mexican territory.
Importing commercial electric vehicles into Mexico requires strict compliance with domestic regulatory standards. Vehicles must meet the requirements of the Normas Oficiales Mexicanas (NOM), specifically NOM-194-SCFI-2015 (safety requirements for new vehicles) and electrical safety provisions for charging networks. Tianli provides verified documentation packages including Certificates of Origin, chassis build blueprints, and electric system layouts to ensure trouble-free customs handling at Mexican ports.
A primary concern for fleet managers transitioning to electric tricycles is the availability of replacement parts. Our commercial program provides a structured maintenance flow:
