At a workshop owned by Jiangsu Zhufeng Electromechanical Technology Co in Xuzhou, Jiangsu province, a buyer evaluated an electric three-wheeler model destined for Indonesia, discussing modifications with engineers, who took detailed notes on the customer‘s requirements.

在江苏省徐州市的江苏珠峰机电科技有限公司车间里，一位买家正在评估一款即将发往印度尼西亚的电动三轮车，并与工程师商讨改装方案，工程师们则认真记录着客户的每一项需求。

As concerns over fuel costs and energy security grow globally, China's electric three-wheelers, widely used to transport people and goods, have seen a surge in demand in overseas markets in recent months.
随着全球对燃料成本和能源安全的担忧日益加剧，近几个月来，中国用于客货运输的电动三轮车在海外市场需求激增。

Jiangsu Zhufeng Electromechanical Technology Co produced nearly 30,000 units in 2025, with exports mainly destined for the United States, Turkiye, Cambodia and Indonesia. With its products having entered Brunei, Vietnam and Laos this year, the company expects its annual production to surpass 50,000 units.
江苏珠峰机电科技有限公司2025年产量近3万辆，产品主要出口至美国、土耳其、柬埔寨和印度尼西亚。随着其产品今年进入文莱、越南和老挝市场，该公司预计年产量将突破5万辆。

From January to April this year, exports of electric three-wheelers from Xuzhou reached 168 million yuan ($24.8 million), up 87.1 percent year-on-year, while exports of related parts and components totaled 115 million yuan, an increase of 29.6 percent from a year earlier, according to data from Xuzhou Customs.
徐州海关数据显示，今年1至4月，徐州电动三轮车出口额达1.68亿元人民币，同比增长87.1%；相关零配件出口额达1.15亿元，同比增长29.6%。

Dai Hui, deputy head of Xuzhou Customs, said that three-wheelers made in Xuzhou have reached more than 130 countries and regions.
徐州海关副关长戴辉表示，徐州制造的电动三轮车已出口至130多个国家和地区。

"In addition to emerging markets, the next frontier is North America, Western Europe and Northern Europe, where exporters are stepping up efforts to expand their presence," Dai said.
戴辉说：“除了新兴市场，下一个前沿阵地是北美、西欧和北欧，出口商正在加大力度拓展这些地区的业务。”

Ni Xiaofeng, president of Jiangsu Guowei Motorcycle Co, another three-wheeler manufacturer based in Wuxi, Jiangsu, said the growing appeal of low-cost, energy-efficient transportation solutions, coupled with stricter environmental regulations and efforts to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, have further boosted demand for Chinese three-wheelers in overseas markets.
江苏国威摩托车有限公司总裁倪晓峰表示，低成本、高能效的交通解决方案吸引力不断提升，加之环保法规日益严格，以及各国努力减少对化石燃料的依赖，进一步提振了中国三轮车在海外市场的需求。

"A standard electric three-wheeler and similar models typically sell for $3,000 to $6,000 in European and North American markets," he said.
他说：“在欧洲和北美市场，一辆标准款电动三轮车及同类车型的售价通常在3000至6000美元之间。”

Li Chengyun, head of the technical unit of Xuzhou Zhibo Locomotive Co in Xuzhou, said most electric three-wheelers on the market offer a driving range of 80 to 100 kilometers with standard lithium batteries. For an additional cost, customers can choose larger battery packs, which increase the range to as much as 180 to 220 kilometers.
徐州智博机车有限公司技术部负责人李承运（音译）表示，市场上大多数电动三轮车标配锂电池的续航里程为80至100公里。客户可选择额外付费升级更大容量的电池包，将续航里程提升至180至220公里。

"More overseas customers are demanding higher power output, prompting us to equip vehicles with larger motors," Li said. "Buyers are also requesting larger and wider tires and wheel rims, leading the company to adopt aluminum alloy wheels to better meet customers' specifications."
李承运说：“越来越多的海外客户要求更高的动力输出，这促使我们为车辆配备更大功率的电机。买家还对更宽大的轮胎和轮辋提出了要求，这使得公司采用铝合金轮毂，以更好地满足客户的规格要求。”

Zhang Hui, president of Xuzhou Zhibo Locomotive Co, said that in the long run, concerns over fuel supply disruptions and the search for affordable transportation alternatives will continue to drive the global adoption of electric three-wheelers.
徐州智博机车有限公司总裁张辉表示，从长远来看，对燃油供应中断的担忧以及对经济型交通替代方案的探索，将持续推动电动三轮车在全球的普及。

Beyond traditional cargo and passenger-carrying three-wheelers, manufacturers are increasingly branching into specialty and recreational vehicles to diversify their product offerings.
除了传统的客货两用三轮车，制造商正越来越多地涉足特种车辆和休闲车辆领域，以实现产品线的多元化。

He Shan, sales director at Jiangsu Shanming Shuixiu Environmental Protection Technology Co in Xuzhou, said the company's business originally focused on manufacturing cargo three-wheelers, but shifted toward developing and exporting specialty vehicles such as road sweepers after spotting growing demand in niche markets.
江苏山明水秀环保科技有限公司销售总监贺珊表示，该公司原本以生产货运三轮车为主，但在发现利基市场需求不断增长后，转而开发和出口道路清扫车等特种车辆。

"We are rolling out upgraded models that can sweep streets, wash surfaces, spray water mist and suppress dust. A single sweeper can do the work of more than a dozen people," He said.
贺珊说：“我们正在推出能够清扫街道、清洗路面、喷雾降尘的升级版车型。一台清扫车能完成十几个人的工作量。”

Household-use three-wheelers, passenger shuttles and leisure vehicles designed for tourist attractions and golf courses have become key growth segments for many traditional electric three-wheeler manufacturers, said Chen Bin, deputy director of the expert committee of the Beijing-based China Machinery Industry Federation.
中国机械工业联合会专家委员会副主任陈斌表示，家用三轮车、景区摆渡车以及专为旅游景点和高尔夫球场设计的休闲车辆，已成为众多传统电动三轮车制造商的关键增长领域。

Chen said the growing popularity of electric three-wheelers reflects a broader shift toward affordable, energy-efficient mobility solutions, creating new opportunities for Chinese manufacturers in global markets.
陈斌指出，电动三轮车的日益普及，反映出全球交通出行正朝着经济型、高能效方向转变，这为中国制造商在全球市场创造了新的机遇。
