Toyota has revealed its plans to enter the emerging electric pickup market with the Hilux Revo BEV.
Toyota Hilux Electric Pickup
The Toyota Hilux BEV will be the automaker’s first electric pickup truck. Tesla, Ford, and Rivian have also made strides in this area. In fact, the Tesla Cybertruck is coming soon.
At Toyota Motors Thailand’s 60th-anniversary event, a fully electric pickup truck, the Toyota Hilux BEV, was presented to the public for the first time. It appears that the Hilux Revo BEV may be initially available in the Asian market.
Toyota Hilux Revo Electric Vehicle
At Toyota’s unveiling of 30 EV concepts last year, a pickup truck was presented to the public. The Hilux Revo has been brought to life and is no longer just a concept. The Electric Vehicle has tires with a low-profile design and a streamlined shape that cuts through the air as it rolls along at the back of the truck.
At an event, Toyota’s President Akio Toyoda unveiled the Hilux Revo BEV, however, no further information was given about the all-electric truck, including pricing, availability and other details. According to Toyoda, sustainability in transportation may not exclusively be attained through a total and expeditious electrification.
Researching and Developing
As Toyota’s honcho emphasized, rushing to switch to electric transportation could harm the environment. Since its inception, Toyota has been committed to making advancements in hybrid technology. It is undoubtedly that this company has been a leader in the development and utilization of hybrid and hydrogen-powered vehicles for quite some time.
Toyota is actively researching and developing electric vehicles. As a result of current market conditions, the company may soon revamp its EV plan. Some hybrid concept cars might become electric cars with electric powertrains. 2023 is the anticipated release date for the Toyota Hilux Revo BEV electric pickup truck.
The Future of Electric Vehicles
In terms of US customers, I wouldn’t get any high hopes on the electric vehicle making its way here in the near future. During a recent presentation, the company’s CEO reiterated the company’s hybrid approach for the future, stating:
Our goal at Toyota is to provide a wide variety of climate-friendly choices for our customers to choose from, such as hybrid electric vehicles, plug-in electric vehicles, battery electric cars, and fuel cell vehicles. Moreover, we are pursuing hydrogen fuel options, such as the GR-Yaris and GR-Corolla hydrogen-powered concept cars. Our efforts to achieve a sustainable future should also include a holistic approach to carbon neutrality.
In his words:
My refusal to declare the automotive industry should commit 100% to BEV is often criticized by the press. It’s important to be realistic about when society will fully adopt Battery Electric Vehicles and when our infrastructure is capable of supporting them.
In the past, Toyota has actively opposed the use of fully electric vehicles. Although this may be the case, the world’s largest carmaker has made several initiatives recently in an effort to better compete in the EV market.
