Maxus has unveiled the first electric pick-up truck to be launched for the UK market.

The T90EV pick-up, exhibited at the Commercial Vehicle Show in Birmingham, is the EV version of the T90 which is on sale in China and powered by a conventional internal combustion engine.

It will be available to order in this country from August 2022, with delivery in the first quarter of 2023.

The vehicle has a 201hp motor, powered by an 88.55kWh battery and, with a weight of 1,631lbs, provides a WLTP range of 198 miles.

The exterior styling includes a stainless steel sports bar, outside rope hook, 17-inch alloy wheels and halogen headlights with automatic induction and LED daytime running lights.

The interior has been designed for optimum space and features a neat dashboard design and floor console, as well as a 10.25-inch digital touch screen instrument cluster.

Its double cab model measures 5,365mm x 1,900mm x 1,809mm, while the cargo bed measures 1,485mm x 1,510mm x 530mm.

The T90EV also comes with a reversing camera and rain-sensing windscreen wipers.

Mark Barrett, General Manager of Harris Maxus, said: “The Maxus brand is synonymous with market-leading commercial electric vehicles, which is a very strong position for a brand that is relatively new but is clearly having a significant impact on the EV marketplace.

“Our commitment to the UK market is unwavering and we will continue to innovate, lead and bring new products to market, while providing information and education around making the switch to EV.”
