Regarding the technical specifications of the pickup, it is worth noting that the hybrid propulsion technology is not of the plug-in type. It is a conventional system where the combustion engine drives the wheels and recharges the lithium-ion battery. Thus, the pickup operates in fully electric mode only in low power demand situations, such as parking maneuvers or traffic jams.
