Toyota Hilux Electric will be launched on the streets in 2025!
A Toyota Hilux is about to receive a version electrical which will be available for purchase from 2025. The announcement was made by the brand's president in Thailand, Noriaki Yamash*ta, during the opening of the Bangkok Salon this Tuesday (26), according to reports from the agency Reuters.
This announcement comes shortly after Isuzu announced that it also plans to produce a version electrical of the D-Max, scheduled for the same year. A Thailand is recognized as one of the main producers and exporters of pickup trucks, being an important reference for the development of new products, especially for the South American branch.
Furthermore, Yamash*ta announced that six units of Hilux BEV (short for battery electric vehicle, in English) will be delivered for testing as public transport in the tourist city of Pattaya, located in eastern Thailand, next month.
A electric pickup truck from the Toyota has already been shown on other occasions. Its first appearance occurred in December 2022, also in Thailand, under the concept called “Hilux Revo BEV“. Later, in October last year, the pickup began circulating in tests in Australia, although the brand has not released specific technical data so far.
