Sussan Leys ‘Monumental blunder’: opposition small business spokesperson Sussan Ley claims electric utes don’t exist. Well, apart from a number of companies that already building and selling EV utes, Chinese automaker Geely officially released a new car brand named RADAR. This model will be fully launched this year, and a free reservation channel has now been opened in China.
The RADAR RD6 released this time is a pure electric pickup truck based on SEA architecture, which is a modular electric vehicle platform developed by Geely Holding. SEA architecture features the largest bandwidth in the world and offers the most efficient intelligent electric vehicle solution in the world, according to Geely.
The RD6 has large storage space and supports high-power full-scenario discharge. It has advantages in terms of charging, comfortable driving, and design, and can meet the needs of outdoor exploration and urban life. Its acceleration time from 0 to 100km/h clocks in at 6 seconds, and its pure electric cruising range exceeds to 600 km. More configurations will be announced in the future.
RADAR will launch more products focused on outdoor lifestyle in the future, including medium-sized pure electric pickup trucks, medium-sized and large-sized new energy pickup trucks, full-sized pure electric pickup trucks, off-road SUVs, and ATVs. They will cover a variety of power modes such as pure electric and super hybrid.
The 2023 Radar RD6 is expected to launch in China in September this year and whilst the company has hinted at big plans for the Radar RD6, but wouldn’t be drawn on whether the electric ute will be offered in Australia.
“There are plans for global markets, but wouldn’t comment on roll-out plans and timings yet,” a spokesperson for Geely said.
