The Karry Lingmi (Chinese: 开瑞零米) is a battery electric light truck produced by Karry, the commercial vehicle sub-brand of Chery. The model line was introduced in 2024 as Karry's entry into the electric light truck segment and is marketed primarily for urban logistics, distribution, and commercial transportation applications. The model line was later relisted under Chery Commercial Vehicles from 2025.

The Lingmi name was initially introduced as a standalone electric truck sub-brand before being incorporated into Karry's broader new-energy commercial vehicle portfolio.

Overview

The Karry announced the Lingmi series during a global product launch event in June 2024. At the event, the company presented Lingmi as a dedicated electric light truck brand aimed at the growing international logistics market. The launch formed part of Chery Commercial Vehicle's wider expansion of its new-energy commercial vehicle range, which also included the Jiangtun E5 electric van and Little Elephant electric truck series.

In June 2024, the Lingmi series appeared in China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) vehicle approval catalogue, including cargo-box, flatbed and chassis-cab variants intended for the 4.2-metre electric light truck market.

In August 2024, The Chery Commercial Vehicle formally launched the Lingmi light truck family, described by battery supplier CATL as Chery's first dedicated electric light-truck platform. According to CATL, the launch generated more than 4,500 orders at the unveiling event.

Specifications

The Lingmi was developed as a battery-electric cab-over light truck designed for short- and medium-distance logistics operations. The vehicle competes in China's highly competitive 4.2-metre truck segment, a category widely used for urban freight transport and last-mile delivery services. The Lingmi range includes multiple body configurations, including box van, cargo truck, flatbed truck, and chassis-cab variants.

The vehicles use lithium-ion battery packs supplied by CATL and are positioned as premium electric logistics trucks within Karry's commercial vehicle portfolio. Battery options include 86.55kWh, 100.07kWh, 100.46kWh, and 120.27kWh. Maximum power output is 120kW and 360N·m with a top speed of 100km/h. The electric range ranges from 260km to 420km depending on the specifications.

Export markets

The Karry has promoted the Lingmi series as part of its international expansion strategy. In 2025 the manufacturer announced initial overseas deliveries to markets in the Americas, representing one of the first export programmes for the model family.

The model has subsequently appeared in several overseas distributor catalogues outside China, including Caribbean markets where electric commercial vehicles are being introduced for logistics and fleet use.

Chevoo Changjiang No. 9

The Chevoo Changjiang No. 9 (长江9号) is a rebadged derivative of the Karry Lingmi developed for the Changjiang commercial vehicle brand operated by Chevoo, another commercial sub-brand owned by Chery. The model shares its underlying electric truck architecture, chassis and powertrain components with the Lingmi series while receiving distinct branding and market positioning. The Changjiang No. 9 forms part of a broader trend within the Chinese commercial vehicle industry in which manufacturers supply identical vehicle platforms to multiple brands through badge engineering and strategic partnerships. As with the Lingmi, the Changjiang No. 9 is targeted primarily at urban logistics and distribution fleets.
