Electric Hilux Pickup Was Shown to the Public at an Event in Thailand and Is Part of the Global Electrification Program of the Japanese Automaker

An innovative completely electric Hilux pickup, the HILUX Revo BEV, was presented last Wednesday (14) by the Japanese automaker Toyota. It is a 100% electric truck that has never been seen before.

According to the brand’s CEO, Akio Toyota, the car is still in the testing phase, and the exclusivity was offered as part of the automaker’s electrification initiative.

Thailand is celebrating 60 years of commercial activity, during which the Hilux has become the most popular vehicle available on the market. Therefore, an event in the country was chosen by Toyota to present its electric Hilux to the public.

100% Electric Hilux Presented by Toyota Is Not the Only Vehicle from the Manufacturer with a Zero Emission Idea

A few months ago, Toyota showcased a prototype of a Hydrogen-Powered Hilux, therefore, the electric Hilux Revo is not the only vehicle with a zero-emission idea. The mechanical components of the Toyota Mirai would serve as a platform for the project, which was conceived and developed by Toyota in the United Kingdom with the assistance and backing of the British government.

So far, Toyota has not provided any information about the specifications of the electric Hilux presented in Thailand. Even the mass production of the model is not certain at this moment.

The current version of the Hilux, which has been in production since 2015, will be replaced by a new generation of the vehicle at some point. When that happens, it is quite likely that Toyota’s pickup catalog will include at least one hybrid or electric version.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

During the construction of the world’s highest bridge, the Huajiang Bridge in China, engineers discovered a giant aquifer and turned what would have been a serious problem into a 625-meter artificial waterfall, an engineering feat that no one had planned.

Thinking about buying a used HB20? See why the 2015 model is still a crowd favorite, with cheap parts, easy-to-fix mechanics, a strong engine, and quick sales.

Suzuki Fronx emerges as the “compact coupe SUV” that Brazil doesn’t have: priced around R$ 37,000 in a tax-free conversion, the model has a hybrid version, 1.0 turbo engine, bold design, and the price of a popular car in India.

Not every car with a battery is truly electric; some hybrids never run solely on electric power, and since 2025, ABVE stopped counting mild hybrids as electrified, and these differences change everything when buying.

Peugeot 408 Griffe 2015 combines a turbo engine, 0 to 100 km/h in 8.3 seconds, a 526-liter trunk larger than many compact SUVs, leather, multimedia, cruise control, and a sunroof, but it remains off the radar among fully equipped used cars.
