The Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon in 2024 is just around the corner, but in the atrium of Beijing's China Central Place, a pickup truck with a difference takes center stage. The car is a Tesla Cybertruck, built by the "alien" Elon Musk, whose appearance seems to bring a science fiction movie to life and arouses great interest. Starting on January 28, it was unveiled simultaneously in 8 cities in China, sparking an amazing queue boom.
It is worth mentioning that China's first native pure electric pickup truck, the Radar RD6, has also begun to become well-known in the past year. Different from traditional pickup trucks, the pure electric power system and intelligent design of the radar RD6 give it more advantages, especially in terms of environmental protection, performance reliability and maintenance convenience, which has greatly changed the image of traditional pickup trucks in the Chinese market.
On February 26, Geely Radar officially announced that the new four-wheel drive product was officially named "Radar Horizon", and it is planned to be launched in the second quarter of this year. Radar Horizon is based on M., the first native electric pickup truck platform in Chinaa.The technical advantages of the PRadar Hanhai platform are equipped with a high-performance dual electric drive system, bringing a peak total power of 315kW and a peak total torque of 594N·m. The 4-second 000 acceleration is comparable to the Porsche 911, the maximum wading depth of 815mm surpasses that of the Hummer EV, the maximum climbing degree of 95% is not afraid of complex terrain, the maximum rated load of 865kg is industry-leading, and the 21kW full-scene external discharge function is the only one in the world. The launch of this model demonstrates Geely Radar's unremitting efforts in technology research and development and product innovation, and also sets a benchmark for the development of China's new energy pickup industry.
The Radar Horizon continues to adopt an integrated body design concept, which is very close to the body structure and design concept of the Tesla Cybertruck, and at the same time, it has the strength comparable to the Cybertruck in many aspects, making it a veritable pure electric super pickup. Chinese pickup trucks will also usher in a cybertruck moment.
In terms of extreme control, the radar horizon not only has 7 driving modes to meet the needs of driving in various road conditions, but also can switch by voice, which is more convenient; It is also equipped with an intelligent all-terrain feedback system, which can intelligently adjust the torque distribution of the four wheels to achieve millisecond-level instantaneous response to the target torque, whether it is ice, snow or muddy road conditions, you can drive with confidence. At the same time, the radar horizon adopts the OneBox intelligent integrated braking system, with a braking response time of 150ms, to escort the driver and passengers.
The radar horizon also brings the ultimate security protection to users. In terms of body safety, it adopts endoskeleton integrated body technology, has 8 tons of roof compressive strength, 30300N·m DEG torsional rigidity, and the high-rigidity body can be called a performance fortress, carrying the ultimate safety for users, leading the class. In terms of battery safety, the radar horizon is equipped with 5 functions of BMS battery management, which can be controlled in real time 24 hours 7 hours, and in the face of the extremely cold environment of -32 ° below zero, the low temperature charging is faster, and the battery life is longer and safer.
Looking ahead, the new energy pickup market presents two obvious trends. The first is to choose to follow the model of the traditional pickup truck market, and the second is to focus on new energy technology innovation to create a new market. Geely Radar has obviously chosen the latter through in-depth changes in technology, products, markets and other dimensions, and is contributing to the rise of the new energy pickup industry, leading China's pure electric pickup trucks into a new stage of development. With the maturity of technology and the improvement of consumer awareness, the potential of new energy pickup trucks in the domestic and foreign markets in the future is undoubtedly huge, and this "new era" will bring new possibilities to the automotive industry.
