In 2025, more and more companies are switching to new energy logistics trucks—especially in North America and Europe. But every truck owner knows the struggle: limited battery range. With batteries still not getting much bigger, extra weight is a killer. Here’s a trick of the trade: cut 100kg off the truck, and you’ll get 5% to 8% more range. That’s why everyone’s hunting for lightweight parts, especially hydraulic cylinders—they’re crucial for lifting and loading.
Old-school hydraulic cylinders are made of heavy cast iron or thick stainless steel. They work, but they add so much weight that trucks can’t go as far. Lately, North American delivery companies have been saying the same thing: “We need cylinders that are light but tough.” Heavy hydraulic cylinders mean more charging stops, which eats into their delivery time and money.
HCIC built a 4-stage telescopic cylinder just for new energy trucks. Unlike the usual 2 or 3-stage ones, this one fits into tight chassis spaces—saves about 30% of room. And it’s 20% lighter, so it directly helps the truck go farther on a charge. No more squeezing big cylinders into small spots!
HCIC uses high-strength aluminum alloy instead of heavy metal. It’s light but tough enough for daily use—loading, unloading, all day long. HCIC hydraulic cylinders have ISO certification, and real users say they run for 1,500 hours straight without leaking or breaking. Perfect for trucks that work 8-10 hours a day.
Need a different stroke length, load capacity, or interface? HCIC can tweak the cylinder to fit. Whether it’s a small urban delivery van, a cold chain truck’s tailgate, or a big electric box truck—they’ve got a fit. Lots of logistics companies in North America and Europe are already using them, and they love how well they adapt.
A mid-sized delivery company in North America tried HCIC’s lightweight cylinders on 20 electric trucks last year. After 6 months, they saw big changes: each truck was 80kg lighter, and range went up by 12%. Before, drivers had to charge twice a day—now just once. That saved them hours of downtime every week.
The company’s procurement guy put it simply: “HCIC’s hydraulic cylinders were a breeze to install—way faster than the European ones we used before. We didn’t have to mess with the truck’s chassis at all. And after 6 months, not a single cylinder had an issue. The range boost is exactly what we needed. We’ll definitely buy more from HCIC.”For More details please email us "davidsong@mail.huachen.cc" or google search "HCIC hydraulic"
