Tianli
Premium fleet items tailored for Singaporean commercial parks, industrial operations, and urban last-mile security logistics.
Singapore’s ambitious Green Plan 2030 sets a firm path toward zero-emission land transport. Within this structural transition, Singapore’s cargo, warehousing, and commercial delivery fleets face pressure to adopt efficient, space-saving, and decarbonized vehicles. As urban density increases, heavy freight vehicles find it harder to navigate the micro-zones of HDB estates, narrow commercial alleys in Chinatown, and high-frequency warehouse corridors in Tuas and Jurong.
Electric tricycles (specifically 1.5M, 1.6M, and 1.8M configurations) are emerging as the ultimate bridge for B2B last-mile delivery. They offer a significant cargo capacity compared to two-wheeled vehicles, while maintaining the maneuverability, low operating costs, and parking simplicity that light commercial vans lack. By upgrading your logistical fleet with Tianli’s highly optimized electric cargo tricycles, your business secures an early-mover advantage in high-efficiency, zero-emission inner-city distribution.

Our core advantages include:
Compare chassis dimensions, payload capabilities, battery options, and mechanical systems suited for Singapore's tropical climate.
Choosing the correct chassis length is critical for balancing cargo volume and turn radius. In Singapore, where parking spaces are strictly regulated and traffic lanes are highly optimized, selecting the ideal dimensions ensures operational compliance and driver efficiency.

Designed to withstand tropical temperatures up to 50°C. Features smart Battery Management Systems (BMS) with real-time temperature tracking, overcharge protection, and cell balancing to satisfy local fire safety requirements.
Cathodic electrophoretic coating prevents corrosion from Singapore's highly humid coastal atmosphere, ensuring the chassis remains structurally sound for over 10 years of intensive operations.
Integrated Electronic Control Unit captures energy during downhill deceleration and braking on flyovers, converting it to extended range and reducing wear on hydraulic systems.
How industrial and commercial electric tricycles operate efficiently within local infrastructure and industrial estates.
Navigating narrow vehicle-free walkways within Housing & Development Board (HDB) estates. The 1.5M and 1.6M electric tricycles fit effortlessly inside pedestrian-friendly zones, making it simple to deliver heavy groceries, parcels, and appliances directly to lift lobbies without causing obstruction.
Perfect for heavy-material shifting inside private shipyards, warehouse hubs in Tuas, and Jurong Port. With load ratings exceeding 800kg, the 1.8M heavy-duty variants perform tasks that once required diesel-guzzling utility vehicles, significantly reducing carbon output and lowering operational costs.
Ideally suited for landscape maintenance companies, municipal cleaning, and campus security within massive establishments like Nanyang Technological University (NTU), National University of Singapore (NUS), and Sentosa Island resorts.
Operating electric commercial vehicles in Singapore requires careful compliance with the Land Transport Authority (LTA) and the Workplace Safety and Health Council (WSHC). In public spaces, cargo trikes must meet local weight limit rules and speed limitations. Specifically, motorized three-wheelers intended for public roads must satisfy registration requirements, including lighting configurations, mirrors, and active horn controls.
For operations inside private commercial parks (such as Changi Business Park or CleanTech Park), vehicles must comply with WSH guidelines. By choosing Tianli, you choose certified safety. Our electric tricycles feature high-durability wiring harnesses, mechanical handbrakes for ramp parking, and UL2272 certified battery configurations. We provide import dossiers and test certifications to assist you during type-approval and custom clearance processes.
The global electric three-wheel logistics market is witnessing double-digit annual growth rates, primarily driven by rapid urbanization and the rising demand for last-mile efficiency. Countries in the EU and Southeast Asia are shifting from diesel transit vans to light-duty electric delivery vehicles, realizing up to a 60% reduction in total operating costs. This macro trend highlights the market potential for manufacturers and dealers who secure early supply channels.
As a global partner, Tianli offers high-volume OEM manufacturing capacity. We customize cargo boxes to withstand heavy tropical downpours (IP67 box sealing) and implement localized charging plugs that match Singapore's Type 2 standard configurations or regular 3-pin local outlets.
Our engineering vision involves combining defense intelligence technology with sustainable micro-mobility platforms. By applying defense-grade sensor controls, battery thermal cooling designs, and smart telemetry to our commercial electric tricycles, we are preparing the next generation of logistics vehicles.
Key roadmap phases include:
Compare commercial operations costs between conventional internal combustion engine (ICE) vans and a fleet of electric tricycles over a 5-year lifecycle in Singapore.

|---|---|---|---|
| Initial Capital Expenditure (CapEx) | SGD $110,000 - $140,000 (Incl. COE) | SGD $15,000 - $25,000 (3 Tricycles) | Save over SGD $90,000 upfront |
| Fuel / Charging Expenses | SGD $32,000 (Petrol/Diesel) | SGD $6,200 (Electricity cost) | Save SGD $25,800 in energy |
| Maintenance & Servicing | SGD $12,500 (Engine oil, brakes, gearbox) | SGD $3,800 (Tires, brakes, updates) | Save SGD $8,700 in maintenance |
| Road Tax & Insurance | SGD $8,500 | SGD $2,400 | Save SGD $6,100 |
| Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) | SGD $163,000 | SGD $32,400 (3 units) | Total Net Saving: SGD $130,600 |
A single delivery van costs your business significantly more in overheads compared to a modular fleet of three high-capacity electric tricycles. Operating three tricycles increases delivery flexibility, allows you to serve multiple neighborhoods simultaneously, and minimizes downtime when one vehicle is off the road.
Find answers to key questions about importing, certifying, and operating electric cargo tricycles in Singapore.
In Singapore, electric cargo tricycles are classified based on their operation area (public roads vs. private properties/paths). For road use, they require type approval, registration as three-wheeled light goods vehicles, and the operator must hold the appropriate licensing class. If operated solely on private industrial campuses, shipyards, or within private warehouses, they are classified as industrial utility vehicles and are subject to Workplace Safety and Health (WSH) guidelines rather than LTA registration.
Yes, all lithium-ion battery configurations supplied by Tianli use high-stability Lithium Iron Phosphate (LiFePO4/LFP) chemistry. These battery packs feature smart Battery Management Systems (BMS) and can be certified under UL2272 / EN15194 standards, satisfying the fire and electricity safety requirements of the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF).
Yes, we offer custom box sizes (1.5M, 1.6M, 1.8M configurations) with options for side-opening doors, hydraulic struts, and specialized internal rack systems. For food logistics, insulated temperature-controlled cold boxes can be integrated directly onto the chassis.
The standard manufacturing timeline is 15-25 days from contract validation. Shipping from our Qingdao/Shanghai ports to Singapore’s Jurong Port takes 8-12 days via ocean freight. In total, complete custom delivery ranges between 30 to 40 days.
