The Higer H5F is a light commercial van from Suzhou Golden Dragon (Higer Bus), targeted primarily at global urban logistics delivery and multi-passenger transport sectors. Serving as a key offering in Higer's light commercial vehicle line-up, the H5F is available in both pure electric (EV) and internal combustion engine (ICE) powertrain variants, engineered to meet the versatile demands of last-mile logistics and corporate shuttle services with its compact footprint and practical cargo volume.
Positioned as a compact panel van/minibus, the Higer H5F measures approximately 4,880 mm in length, 1,700 mm in width, and 1,995 mm in height, with a 2,570 mm wheelbase. Marketed as a "compact and efficient urban logistics specialist" and a "versatile multi-purpose van", its key selling points include a spacious 6.1 m³ cargo capacity, a payload rating of 1.3 to 1.5 tonnes (variant-dependent), and a sub-2-metre overall height tailored for low-clearance urban basement car parks. The model is designed to provide a cost-effective transport solution for fleet operators, small business owners, and corporate shuttle services, delivering flexible load-lugging capabilities alongside dependable performance.
Pure Electric Variant (H5F EV):
Powertrain: Powered by an 80 kW permanent magnet synchronous electric motor producing a peak torque of 270 Nm.
Battery & Range: Equipped with a CATL-sourced lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack with a capacity of around 50–53 kWh. Under NEDC test cycles, it delivers an estimated driving range of 235–260 km (in ECO mode), catering to the high-frequency operational demands of daily urban delivery runs.
Charging Capability: Supports DC fast charging, allowing a 20% to 80% state of charge (SoC) in under 45 minutes.
Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) Variant: In selected overseas markets (such as Belize), the H5F is offered with a 2.4-litre turbodiesel engine paired with a manual gearbox. This setup focuses on robust durability and low-end torque output, making it ideal for long-haul freight operations over tougher road terrains.
The Higer H5F is recognised globally as an agile, practical commercial workhorse. Its compact footprint enables nimble manoeuvring through tight, congested city streets, while its sub-2-metre height guarantees hassle-free clearance into most commercial and retail basement car parks—overcoming the headroom limitations commonly faced by conventional vans.
Overseas Markets: The H5F is exported to various international markets, including Malaysia, Singapore, and parts of South America. In these regions, beyond its role as a dedicated panel van, it is frequently converted into 9- to 15-seater passenger commuter vans, showcasing exceptional versatility.
Telematics & Connectivity: Despite its utilitarian positioning, the 2026 models feature an integrated T-BOX telematics system for real-time fleet tracking and vehicle health monitoring, equipping logistics operators with crucial tools for asset management and energy efficiency optimisation.
Cargo Bay Design: Boasts a 6.1 m³ cargo hold with practical interior proportions, where the width between wheel arches and overall flatbed layout are specifically optimised for standard Euro pallet loading.
Safety Equipment: Fitted with Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) and Electronic Brakeforce Distribution (EBD) as standard across the range, with selected grades offering dual front airbags. The chassis utilises a reinforced high-strength frame to maintain vehicle stability even under maximum payload.
Cabin & Comfort: Features a functional, no-nonsense interior layout equipped with a multi-function steering wheel, a 10-inch touchscreen infotainment display, and a reverse camera as standard, improving daily driving ease and operational safety for drivers.
As of 2026, the Higer H5F has transitioned from a straightforward export van into a strategic model spearheading the brand’s green commercial vehicle transformation overseas. Amid the global shift towards electrified and digitalised logistics, the pure electric H5F EV has secured steady uptake in SME fleet procurement, credited to its proven CATL battery technology and dependable operational uptime. Supported by Higer's dedicated international dealer network for aftersales servicing and spare parts availability, the H5F continues to deliver solid lifecycle value as a reliable commercial workhorse.
