Final specs are being locked in
Perhaps inevitably, we’ll be seeing more companies building electric pickup trucks. Abroad, there are battery-powered versions of popular models such as the Ford F-150 and Chevrolet Silverado. Like it or not, electric pickups are making their presence felt.
Closer to home, key players such as Mitsubishi, Isuzu, and even Toyota are starting to make their moves. It was Mitsubishi who was first to drum up plans for an electric midsize pickup. Toyota then responded with a concept shortly thereafter. However, it was Isuzu who was first out the door with a production-ready prototype.The LTFRB has begun apprehending unconsolidated jeepneysIt’s seems that the world’s biggest automaker didn’t want to take that sitting down.
This plan was confirmed by Pras Ganesh, executive vice president of Toyota Motor Asia, while speaking to Reuters. The electric Hilux will be produced in Thailand, just like the diesel-powered models. It’s likely that these battery-powered trucks will share the same assembly line as well.Ganesh didn’t give any numbers just yet. However, the executive stated that the company is finding the ideal balance between battery size with weight and range.
Payload capacity is computed by subtracting the vehicle’s gross weight against its curb weight. In the case of the standard Toyota Hilux dual-cab with four-wheel drive, it’s in the region of 1,000kg.For now, at least, final specifications and details are being locked in. The same goes for the possible body styles that will be on offer.
