CAMC
The CAMC X7M 8 × 4 left-hand drive methanol extended range chassis is a high-end new energy retrofit platform designed for the global engineering vehicle market. It adopts the M100 methanol extended range electric drive technology route and uses the methanol engine as an efficient range extender to generate real-time power, driving the permanent magnet synchronous motor to output power. It combines the smooth driving experience of pure electric vehicles with the long range advantage of fuel vehicles. The chassis adopts an 8 × 4 front double steering axle and rear double drive axle heavy-duty layout, with strong load-bearing capacity and good passability. It can be adapted to various specialized vehicles such as concrete mixer trucks, dump trucks, and crane trucks, and widely serves engineering scenarios such as municipal infrastructure, mining, and real estate development. It has been exported in batches to overseas markets such as Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Africa.
The vehicle is equipped with TZ370XSHME03 permanent magnet synchronous drive motor, with a rated power of 280kW and a peak power of 410kW. It has low-speed high torque output and excellent performance in heavy-duty starting and climbing on construction sites. Equipped with Xuanwu lithium iron phosphate battery (65-98kWh depending on configuration) and side mounted large capacity methanol tank (about 700L), adopting a dual energy mode of "alcohol and electricity", the comprehensive range can reach over 600km; The methanol energy supplement method is the same as the traditional refueling, without relying on the charging pile, which completely solves the endurance anxiety and energy supplement inconvenience of new energy engineering vehicles. Using M100 methanol as fuel, carbon emissions are reduced by over 50% compared to diesel chassis, and nitrogen oxide emissions are significantly reduced, meeting the environmental regulations of various countries.
Adopting an 8 × 4 heavy-duty chassis structure with a wheelbase of 1850+3100+1350mm, the HL6T dual steering axle is equipped with an HL460 dual stage reduction drive axle (speed ratio 5.286), and the frame is made of 302 (8+10+8) mm high-strength alloy steel, with excellent torsional load-bearing capacity; Standard 12R22.5 18PR engineering tires, with a 12 wheel layout suitable for unpaved roads and complex construction site conditions. The total weight reaches 31000kg, with ample space for installation and adaptation. It can be matched with various specialized devices such as 6-8m ³ mixing tanks and self unloading boxes, and has strong compatibility for modification. The X7 flat top cab has a compact layout and a modern diamond shaped grille design, making it easy to install and arrange as a whole.
The chassis has been rigorously tested under engineering conditions, and the three electric system and methanol range extender work together to maintain stability with a low failure rate; Methanol fuel is globally accessible and priced lower than diesel, with fewer daily maintenance projects than traditional fuel vehicles, and outstanding advantages in operating costs throughout the entire lifecycle. Relying on the global after-sales network and professional service capabilities of CAMC, we provide multilingual technical support, spare parts supply, and on-site maintenance to provide efficient, low-carbon, and reliable new energy chassis solutions for overseas specialized vehicle modification factories and engineering customers.

Customer Review 1 | Southeast Asian Special Vehicle Refitting Factory
“We used the X7M 8 × 4 chassis to retrofit a concrete mixer truck, and the methanol extended range solution perfectly solved the range anxiety problem of pure electric engineering vehicles. Adding methanol is as fast as refueling, and the 8 × 4 chassis has strong load-bearing capacity and good site passability. The 410kW motor is very powerful for pulling heavy loads, and customers have reported smooth driving and low noise, making it our main modified chassis. "
Customer Review 2 | Middle East Mining Engineering Contractor
“The road conditions in the mining area are poor, and environmental requirements are becoming increasingly strict. The X7M methanol extended range chassis has sufficient power and strong load-bearing capacity. Local procurement of methanol fuel is convenient, and construction can be carried out on site if carbon emissions meet standards. The 8 × 4 layout runs smoothly on unpaved roads in the mine with a low failure rate. The CAMC after-sales response is timely, which is very suitable for our infrastructure project. "
