According to the company, there are more than 30 new electric models at various stages, from concept to production, expected to be launched in the next two years.

However, there are few pickup trucks, and most seem conventional, lacking inspiration, unlike Tesla’s electric pickup. According to the company, an international team of top automotive designers, as well as sculptors, research consultants, engineers, and marketing professionals were assembled.

The automaker further claims that the solar-powered electric car is designed with the off-road in mind in remote locations, where there are usually no charging stations for electric models, such as deserts, for example. Therefore, just deploy the awning with solar panels to recharge the electric pickup’s batteries.

In terms of specifications, the electric vehicle will be sold in two configurations, one with 4 wheels and another with 6 wheels, both equipped with all-wheel drive. The more basic electric pickup boasts 800 horsepower, 360 kg of torque, and a 180 kWh battery, providing the model with a range of 643 km.

The 6×6 version of the electric vehicle utilizing solar energy features a 210 kWh battery, offering a range of 900 km and the ability to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.5 seconds.

In addition to providing energy, the 6 solar awnings extend beyond the electric pickup rivaling Tesla’s Cybertruck when the vehicle is parked, creating shade for those wishing to camp or just rest for a few minutes outside the vehicle. The project is still in its early stage, so there is no forecast for sales to begin. However, the company estimates that the price will be around US$ 70,000 for the 4×4 model.
