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.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.
