New Toyota Hilux TRAVO-e: Revolutionary electric pickup for off-road fans!

There's exciting news from the automotive world in Pattaya! The 9th generation of the popular Toyota Hilux has made its global debut in Thailand. The new model, the Hilux TRAVO, is available in both a fully electric version and with a conventional diesel engine. The all-wheel drive version TRAVO-e 4TREK, which boasts innovative technology and attractive features, is particularly in the spotlight, as springnews reports.

With a length of 5,320 mm, a width of 1,855 mm and a height of 1,800 mm, the Hilux TRAVO-e 4TREK offers extensive space. Under the hood it has two electric motors that provide a total output of 144 kW (196 hp). The lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 59.2 kWh, which offers a range of up to 315 km, proves that the Hilux is not only powerful but also efficient. In addition, the charging capability of up to 125 kW DC is very promising.

Made for adventure seekers

The Hilux is a real off-road professional thanks to its De Dion chassis and the Multi-Terrain Select system with five driving modes: Dirt, Sand, Mud, Rock and Mogul. This means it can cope optimally with even the roughest terrain. In addition, modern technologies such as the Dynamic Cloud system ensure control, stability and comfort, while the interior boasts a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and large touchscreen displays. Safety features are also not neglected, as the Hilux is equipped with a variety of assistance systems.

But that's not all! Toyota has also launched the fully electric variant. The E variant, which is scheduled to go into mass production next year, promises a combined output of 193 hp and offers similar ranges to the conventional model. The production announcement and the planned road tests in Pattaya show how seriously Toyota is taking the issue of electric vehicles. According to thaitimes, this is part of the comprehensive strategy that is also being adopted by other car manufacturers such as Isuzu.

Innovations on the way

Did you know that Toyota has not only introduced the Hilux TRAVO, but is also working on developing a fuel cell vehicle (FCEV) for Europe and Oceania, which is scheduled to be launched by 2028? This clear focus on innovative drive technologies and sustainability takes advantage of the advantages of Thailand, which is known for its automotive industry and is increasingly investing in electric vehicles.

Overall, with the Hilux TRAVO and the electric version, Toyota impressively shows that they are keeping pace with the changes in the automotive industry. The upcoming launch in Pattaya and Germany-wide road trials are just the beginning of an exciting future for electric pickups. Stay tuned to find out more about developments on the vehicle market and perhaps sit in one of the new models yourself soon!
