Integrated design
The battery is integrated into the chassis for higher payloads, lower costs and greater scalability. That frees up container space, which matters for express and bulk delivery.

The Deepway Star
Designed electric from the ground up.
The Deepway Star wasn't adapted from a diesel platform. It was forward-designed as an intelligent new-energy heavy-duty truck, with one of the lowest drag coefficients of any mass-produced truck in the world.
It suits bulk haulage, long- and short-distance logistics, and port work.

Annual estimate: Deepway EV Trucks' comparison of a Deepway Star and a diesel semi: 130 kWh vs 45 L per 100 km, maintenance $27,000 vs $53,600 a year, purchase price $370,000 vs about $250,000. Figures rounded to the nearest $10. The default diesel price is the latest Melbourne average diesel terminal gate price published by the Australian Institute of Petroleum, refreshed daily. *Calculation based on regional cost standards, may vary due to electricity & labour fees.
Technology
Built around the battery.
Deepway develops the Star's core systems in-house: an integrated battery chassis, a motor at each driven wheel, and a multi-domain electrical architecture.
Distributed drive
Each driven wheel has its own motor, so there's no conventional mechanical transmission.
+14%Drive efficiency vs central drive
Multi-domain EE architecture
The electrical architecture was designed in from the start and supports over-the-air upgrades. It gives faster response, better accuracy and stronger safety features.
OTAOver-the-air upgrades
Thermal management
The cabin and battery have independent temperature control, with multi-sensor automatic cooling for stable operation. Active and passive battery insulation handles cold regions.
