Key points:

  • Changan has unveiled the Nevo Hunter REEV, an electrified pickup, in Pakistan with a price of Rs 10.99 million.
  • The model pairs a 4×4 drivetrain with a range‑extender system that the maker says can cover both city trips and long‑haul journeys.
  • Deliveries are slated to start within weeks through Changan’s dealer network in Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad and other major cities.
  • The truck boasts modern styling, advanced safety equipment and a versatile cargo bed aimed at commercial and private buyers.

Changan’s entry into the Pakistani market comes at a time when the country is intensifying its push for greener mobility. The Nevo Hunter REEV is positioned as a premium utility vehicle that can meet the rugged demands of construction sites, farms and transport businesses while offering the lower operating costs associated with electric power. By integrating a range‑extender—a small internal‑combustion engine that recharges the battery on the move—the pickup promises to alleviate range‑anxiety, a common barrier for potential EV buyers in a nation where charging infrastructure is still developing.

The Rs 10.99 million price tag places the Nevo Hunter REEV in the high‑end segment of pickup trucks, directly competing with both conventional diesel models and the few hybrid or electric pickups that have recently entered the market. Local dealers say the vehicle’s payload capacity and customizable bed configurations are tailored for Pakistan’s diverse logistics needs, from hauling bricks in Punjab’s construction boom to transporting agricultural produce in Sindh’s hinterlands.

Safety is another selling point highlighted by Changan. The pickup is equipped with a suite of driver‑assist technologies, including electronic stability control, autonomous emergency braking and multiple airbags, features that align with the government’s recent regulations mandating higher safety standards for new vehicles. Early test drives reported a smooth torque delivery and quiet cabin, attributes that could appeal to both fleet operators seeking driver comfort and private owners looking for a versatile work‑horse.

Changan expects the first batch of Nevo Hunter REEVs to roll out to showrooms within the next few weeks, with an initial rollout focused on the major metropolitan hubs. If demand matches the company’s optimism, the model could accelerate the adoption of electric‑assisted trucks in Pakistan, offering a new option for businesses aiming to cut fuel expenses while meeting emerging environmental standards.
