Vehicle model
Dorcen Gamme Dorcen - électrique/hybride
From its launch in 2018, Dorcen included electrification in its catalogue, in line with the new-energy vehicles strongly encouraged in China. The fully electric E20 city car, a small urban runabout, was among the brand's three inaugural models, alongside an electric version of the compact crossover (G60E). These vehicles targeted short-distance urban travel, with the modest range and performance typical of entry-level electric models of the era. After the name change to Docan in 2023, the electric strategy continued with a battery SUV (Docan V07). None of these electric versions was approved or distributed in Quebec. For these models, made heavier by the battery, choosing tires suited to the load and, in winter, a cold-weather fitment compliant with Quebec regulations would be all the more important — to be verified against the original size.

Technology
Technologies, engines and platforms
Fully electric drive on the E20 city car and the G60E variant (battery, electric motor, charging), positioned in the entry-level urban segment; no hybrid drivetrain is documented at Dorcen before the transition to the Docan brand.
Tires and wheels
Tire and wheel compatibility
Comme la gamme Dorcen se composait surtout de multisegments compacts à moyens (G60, G60S, G70S), les montes pneumatiques se situaient dans les formats usuels de ce segment, généralement sur jantes de 16 à 18 pouces, avec un entraxe à cinq trous typique des SUV chinois de ce gabarit. Faute de présence officielle au Québec, il n'existe pas de catalogue local de dimensions homologuées; il faut donc relever la dimension inscrite sur le flanc du pneu d'origine et la plaque du montant de porte avant tout achat. Au Québec, le pneu d'hiver conforme demeure obligatoire de décembre à mars : pour ces multisegments, une monte hivernale dédiée, idéalement sur un second jeu de jantes, reste vivement recommandée.
