The Higer H5F is a battery-electric panel cargo van sold in Singapore for light goods work. It carries a 1,380 kg payload, offers 6.1 m³ of cargo space, and rates a 235 km range, per the Higer Singapore brochure. For fleets weighing an electric switch, it sits in the affordable Chinese EV-van bracket alongside the Maxus eDeliver 5 and BYD eT3.

What is the Higer H5F?

The Higer H5F is a fully electric, standard-roof panel van built for last-mile and distribution work. It is a light goods vehicle — its 3,280 kg laden weight keeps it under the 3.5-tonne line, per the Higer Singapore brochure. Higer EV Singapore retails it locally, and ABLINK lists it for business buyers. The cabin seats two, and the enclosed body protects cargo from weather across an island-wide day.

It is built as a diesel replacement: lower running costs, same delivery day, no operational overhaul required. The H5F targets the same job as a Toyota Hiace panel van, with an electric drivetrain and CVES Band A eligibility replacing the diesel powertrain and the pump.

Higer H5F price in Singapore

ABLINK quotes the Higer H5F at a body price, listed separately from the Certificate of Entitlement (COE). We do not publish a figure here, because EV prices and COE premiums move — confirm both on the live listing. The body price covers the vehicle itself, while the COE is bid and added on top. Always ask what a quoted number includes before you compare it against a diesel rival.

For the current, confirmed body price, check the Higer H5F body price and specifications at ABLINK or speak to the team directly. If your COE is due for renewal on an existing goods vehicle, the ABLINK COE Renewal Loan page covers financing options.

CVES Band A: what the rebate means

The Higer H5F is classified under CVES Band A, the cleanest tier of the Commercial Vehicle Emissions Scheme, per its authorised-dealer listing. Band A vehicles qualify for a purchase rebate applied at registration. As of June 2026, EnterpriseSG material cited in ABLINK's grants guide puts the Band A rebate at S$15,000. The CVES window runs to 31 March 2027 (NEA/LTA). Confirm your eligibility and the exact amount with the ABLINK team before you commit, since scheme terms change.

Higer H5F specs that matter for Singapore routes

The Higer H5F pairs a 50.23 kWh CATL LFP battery with an 80 kW (107 bhp) permanent-magnet motor. Peak torque is 270 Nm, per the Higer Singapore brochure. That combination delivers a stated 235 km range, or 260 km in ECO mode. For most single-shift island routes, that figure clears a full working day with margin. The table below lists the brochure specifications a fleet buyer actually uses.

Range and charging

The H5F charges on both AC and DC, which suits depot-based fleets. Per SGCarMart's listing, it draws up to 6.6 kW on AC, for a full charge in roughly seven hours. On DC, it takes up to 40 kW, for about an hour. Real-world times vary with the charger and battery state — confirm the exact rates on the live listing.

For operators running public routes, Singapore's EV charging networks — including SP Mobility and ChargePoint — support DC fast charging at compatible connectors; check the respective network apps for the nearest 40 kW-capable points along your delivery route. For depot-based fleets, overnight AC charging resets the van for the standard 235 km daily duty without a mid-shift top-up.

Higer H5F vs other electric vans in Singapore

The Higer H5F competes in Singapore's affordable Chinese electric-van segment. Its closest cross-shops are the Maxus eDeliver 5, BYD eT3, Golden Dragon EV van, and Farizon Super Van — all battery-electric light commercials. Buyers usually choose between them on brand familiarity, dealer coverage, cargo volume, and price. The table below shows how each model is positioned; for each rival's own figures, follow the linked guide.

Is the Higer H5F right for your business?

The Higer H5F suits SME fleets running predictable, single-shift island routes under its rated range. It fits last-mile parcel work, F&B distribution, pharmacy and medical supply, and FMCG restocking. The 1,380 kg payload and enclosed 6.1 m³ body cover typical light-goods loads without a permit upgrade at this weight class.

• Last-mile delivery: parcel couriers cutting diesel cost and meeting shipper sustainability targets

• F&B distribution: central-kitchen-to-outlet runs that stay inside a day's range

• Pharma and medical supply: weather-protected cargo with a payload margin for consumables

• Green SME fleets: operators using CVES Band A to lower total cost against diesel peers

The one operational constraint: back-to-back shifts without a depot charging window require mapped charger access on your route. Range is rarely the problem — charging infrastructure is.

Licensing, COE and compliance

The Higer H5F needs a Category C COE, the class LTA assigns to goods vehicles and buses. Source: LTA OneMotoring.

A van of this laden weight typically falls under a Class 3 driving licence, which covers vehicles up to 3,500 kg GVW — but licence class is assigned by LTA based on registered vehicle type, not GVW alone. Confirm your exact requirement directly on LTA OneMotoring before purchase.

The H5F sits below the 3.5-tonne heavy-vehicle threshold, so HVZES does not apply. CVES is the relevant scheme. Verify current eligibility with NEA before you rely on it.

The charging-cost question buyers keep asking

Here is the figure no spec sheet answers: the real per-kilometre charging cost of the Higer H5F in Singapore. It depends on where you charge. Depot or overnight charging on a commercial electricity tariff costs far less per kWh than public DC fast-charging. With a 50.23 kWh battery and a 235 km rating, your cost-per-km swings widely between those two sources. No manufacturer or government document publishes a Singapore-specific breakdown for this van.

Map your charging mix first — how many kWh you draw overnight versus on the road. That single input decides whether the electric maths works for your fleet. The ABLINK team can walk you through a realistic depot-charging scenario for your routes.

Higer H5F FAQ

What is the total price of the Higer H5F in Singapore including COE?
ABLINK quotes the H5F body price separately from the COE, which is bid and added on top. We do not state a combined figure here, because both move. Confirm the current body price and prevailing COE on the live ABLINK listing.

How much can I save with the CVES Band A rebate?
The H5F is listed at CVES Band A. EnterpriseSG material cited by ABLINK puts the Band A rebate at S$15,000 as of June 2026, applied at registration. Eligibility and amounts change — confirm with NEA and the ABLINK team before you rely on the figure.

What driving licence do I need to drive the Higer H5F?
A van of this laden weight typically falls under a Class 3 licence, which covers vehicles up to 3,500 kg GVW. However, licence class is assigned by LTA based on registered vehicle type, not GVW alone. Confirm your exact requirement directly on LTA OneMotoring before purchase.

How long does the Higer H5F take to charge?
Per SGCarMart's listing, the H5F takes roughly seven hours on AC at up to 6.6 kW. On DC at up to 40 kW, it needs about an hour. Real-world times vary with the charger type and battery state.

Can the Higer H5F fit in an HDB carpark or loading bay?
The H5F measures 4,880 mm long, 1,700 mm wide, and 1,995 mm tall, per the Higer brochure. The height figure matters for barriers and basement carparks. Check the clearance of every carpark and loading bay on your route before committing.

Is the Higer H5F eligible for HVZES or only CVES?
HVZES targets heavy vehicles above 3.5 tonnes. The H5F's 3,280 kg laden weight sits below that threshold, so HVZES does not apply. CVES is the relevant scheme — verify current eligibility with NEA.

What is the Higer H5F's payload and cargo space?
The Higer brochure lists a 1,380 kg payload and 6,100 L (6.1 m³) of cargo volume. That covers typical light-goods loads for last-mile, F&B, and FMCG work. For load-specific advice, share your pallet or carton dimensions with the ABLINK team.

How does the H5F range hold up in stop-start traffic?
The brochure rates 235 km standard, or 260 km in ECO mode. Urban stop-start driving, air-conditioning load, and cargo weight all affect real range. Treat the stated figure as a planning ceiling, and size your daily route with a comfortable buffer below it.

If an electric cargo van that clears a full island route on one charge fits your business, the Higer H5F deserves a place on your shortlist. Lower running costs, a clean CVES Band A rating, and a practical 6.1 m³ body make it a serious diesel alternative for SME fleets. Enquire about the Higer H5F at ABLINK for the current body price, or speak to the team about a depot-charging plan for your routes.
