This morning, TQ WULING officially launched the All-New TQ WULING Porta EV panel van. This a fully electric panel van which has been developed for businesses seeking a practical, cost-efficient and lower-emission solution for daily commercial transport. It is available in 300km and 400km CLTC-rated variants, and is priced from RM99,800 onwards for the 300km variant and RM105,800 onwards for the 400km variant in Peninsular Malaysia before insurance.
The 2027 WULING Porta EV extends TQ WULING’s electric vehicle (EV) line-up in Malaysia. This is the second product after the Bingo EV compact passenger hatchback and it makes the brand's entry into the commercial mobility segment, targeting large fleet operators, multinational corporations, logistics providers, retailers, service businesses and small and medium-sized businesses across Malaysia. From what we have gathered after viewing it at the launch event, it is of a decent size - like a Nissan NV200 but not as large as the current Toyota Hiace van which are a familiar sight here.
The new Porta EV panel van features a spacious cargo area, competitive payload capacity, fast-charging capability and purpose-developed electric powertrain technology, while offering businesses the potential to reduce vehicle running and maintenance costs over the vehicle’s operating life. You can see the example of the Porta EV decked out as an ambulance and it would get the basics done from the looks of it. It has a 1,100kg carrying capacity and with the range of 300-400km (depending on variant - and use case - WLTP should be around 33% less than the given CLTC range above from what we have observed with EVs today) would be quite convenient for last mile delivery services in urban areas or for a maintenance vehicle covering a designated zone within a city or a logistics hub - like an airport or a port facility.
“With the Porta EV, our objective is to make the transition to electric commercial mobility practical and commercially viable. Built to earn, designed to save is more than a tagline for us. It reflects what we want the Porta EV to deliver for Malaysian businesses,” said Wan Wei Sun, Head of Business, TQ Manufacturing Sdn Bhd
The interior is typically commercial grade hard plastics. It features a 3.5-inch TFT instrument display, four-way adjustable seats, electronically adjustable air conditioning, and an 8-inch infotainment head unit with Bluetooth, MP3, and USB connectivity. No Apple Carplay and Android Auto, but it isn't really expected in a commercial vehicle still these days. But the layout is modern, with a rotary knob for the gearshift keeping things simple. At lease there are manual switchgear which seems robust and should last the duration. There are also SRS Airbags for both driver and passenger as well as traction control, ABS as well as rear view cameras which should make driving it safe as well as easy for operators.
Early-bird Package
Bookings for both Porta EV variants is now open. Customers can place a booking through the official TQ WULING website at tqwuling.my with a RM500 booking fee or visit any TQ WULING showroom nationwide.

The package comprises:
Free 7kW EV Wallbox Charger worth RM3,500
Free 3-pin Portable EV Charger
Free Scheduled Maintenance up to 60,000 km or 3 years
The early-bird package is designed to help businesses reduce the initial transition costs associated with adopting electric commercial vehicles and establish charging and maintenance arrangements from the outset.
Porta EV Display at Selected TQ WULING showrooms
Members of the public and business operators can view the Porta EV display at selected TQ WULING showrooms on 17 - 18 October 2026, with a listing of available locations at tqwuling.my.
Details of the TQ WULING Porta EV panel van
Designed as a full-size panel van, the Porta EV measures 5,010 mm in length, 1,800 mm in width 1,975 mm in height for the 400km variant and 1,960 mm for the 300km variant, both with a 3,050 mm wheelbase. Its cargo compartment measures 2,830 mm long, 1,680 mm wide and 1,365 mm high, providing up to 6.5 cubic metres of cargo capacity for a broad range of delivery, logistics and commercial applications.
The Porta EV is engineered around ease of loading and efficient goods handling with key features including:
Up to 1,105 kg maximum payload on the 400km variant
777 mm-wide dual sliding side doors
270-degree opening rear barn doors
595 mm loading height
83% ultra-high-strength steel monocoque body
The wide double hinged rear barn doors allow the cargo area to be accessed directly by forklift and is able to accommodate a standard pallet size of 1,100 × 1,100 mm with the rear door opening size of 1,366 mm, while the low loading height of 595 mm helps reduce the effort required for loading and unloading goods during daily operations.
Battery Electric Powertrain
The TQ WULING Porta EV is powered by a high-efficiency 75kW silicon-carbide (SiC) electric motor producing 180 Nm of torque, delivering immediate response and low-speed torque characteristics suited to stop-start urban and commercial driving. The van is rear wheel driven with the electric motor integrated into the rear axle. From the specifications, with the battery pack in the chassis floor and a rear motor, the Porta EV has a low center of gravity. See the photo below - the motor is located in front of the rear axle differential.
Power is supplied by WULING’s MAGIC EV Battery technology, which has been developed with a focus on structural integrity, thermal protection and durability.
The battery has undergone a series of safety tests covering high-temperature exposure, puncture, impact, vibration and water immersion. Its multifunctional unitised structural design increases battery structural strength by more than 60%, while its modular construction enables individual battery cells to be serviced or replaced when required. This design can reduce battery repair and maintenance costs by up to 90% over the vehicle’s lifecycle.
WULING’s MAGIC Battery technology is currently deployed in more than 3 million new-energy vehicles globally, with no reported incidents of battery fire or explosion across its fleet.
On charging, the Porta EV supports AC charging for overnight charging at business premises and DC fast charging for top-ups during the working day.

The combination of DC fast charging and AC charging allows businesses to incorporate charging into a variety of operating environments, from commercial premises and depots to overnight charging at dedicated facilities.
Safety and Driver-focused Equipment
The Porta EV combines structural protection with a range of active and passive safety equipment, including:
Dual front airbags (front driver and front passenger)
Anti-lock Braking System (ABS)
Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD)
Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
Traction Control
Hill Start Assist (HSA)
Low Speed Pedestrian Alarm
Reverse camera and reverse sensors
Anti-Theft (IMMO)
The driver-focused cabin features a 3.5-inch TFT instrument display, four-way adjustable seats, electronically adjustable air conditioning, and an 8-inch infotainment head unit with Bluetooth, MP3, and USB connectivity.
Lower Running Costs, Greater Fleet Efficiency
For commercial operators, the purchase price is only part of the equation. What matters just as much is total operating costs.
The Porta EV has been built to reduce the ongoing costs associated with maintaining a commercial vehicle. Scheduled servicing is required every six months or 10,000km, whichever comes first, with servicing costs of less than RM2,000 over five years. This represents potential savings of over 65% compared with conventional diesel vans, helping businesses manage long-term fleet operating expenditure.
The Porta EV’s service intervals are scheduled every six months or 10,000 km (whichever comes first). For operators running multiple vehicles, the lower routine maintenance interval can also support a more effective fleet planning and vehicle utilisation.
Comprehensive Warranty and Nationwide Aftersales Support
To provide businesses with greater confidence in long-term fleet operation, the TQ WULING Porta EV is supported by comprehensive warranty coverage, including:
Vehicle: 5 years or 120,000 km**
Drive motor, EV battery and BMS: 5 years or 200,000 km**
EV battery cells: 6 years or 300,000 km**
(**whichever comes first)
Aftersales support is provided through the Tan Chong Ekspress Auto Servis (TCEAS) network, with 28 service centres nationwide trained to service TQ WULING vehicles.
The network covers key locations across the Central, Northern, Southern and East Coast regions of Peninsular Malaysia, as well as East Malaysia. This nationwide coverage is intended to support vehicle uptime and provide convenient maintenance access for businesses operating across multiple locations.
The All-New Porta EV is available in two variants:
