A New Addition To Pakistan’s Evolving Electric Vehicle Segment. The launch of the Riddara RD6 marks a significant step in the ongoing development of the electric vehicle (EV) landscape in Pakistan. As the country gradually moves toward more sustainable mobility solutions, the arrival of Pakistan’s first all-electric pickup reflects the growing interest in alternative fuel technologies within the local automotive sector.

Introduced by Capital Smart Motors (CSM), the Riddara RD6 is now available in Pakistan, with a starting price of PKR 13,299,000. This model is designed to serve both private users and businesses seeking reliable and eco-friendly transport options.

Performance Highlights: Efficiency With Strength

Manufactured by Radar Auto, a subsidiary of the Geely Auto Group, the Riddara RD6 offers a combination of contemporary design and functional performance. It is powered by a 315 kW permanent magnet synchronous motor, delivering up to 595 Nm of torque and achieving 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds.

The vehicle features an 86 kWh ternary lithium battery that offers a driving range of up to 455 kilometers, depending on driving conditions. It also supports DC fast charging, enabling a 30% to 80% charge in approximately 32 minutes, which is practical for both urban commutes and longer trips.

Interior Design And Driver Comfort

Inside the cabin, the RD6 features synthetic leather seating, a 10.2-inch digital instrument cluster, and multiple driving modes, including sport and off-road settings. The design and comfort features aim to meet the expectations of a wide range of users—from daily drivers to commercial operators.

The interior reflects a shift towards more technology-integrated driving experiences, aligning with current expectations of urban EV users in Pakistan.

Implications For The Local Automotive Market

While electric vehicles still make up a small portion of Pakistan’s total automotive sales, interest in this segment is steadily growing. The introduction of an electric pickup truck like the RD6 reflects a positive move toward offering more diversified EV models in the country.

With increasing urbanization, rising fuel costs, and supportive government policies, Pakistan’s EV ecosystem—including hybrid cars, electric SUVs, and now electric pickups—is gradually becoming more structured.

A Step Toward Diversification In Utility Vehicles

The Riddara RD6 is not just a passenger vehicle; it’s also aimed at businesses and fleet operators looking for efficient and low-maintenance transport solutions. Its utility features, strong performance, and zero-emission driving make it a viable addition to Pakistan’s growing demand for commercial EVs.

As EV charging infrastructure expands and public awareness improves, electric pickups like the RD6 could offer a long-term solution for sectors looking to reduce operating costs while aligning with environmental targets.
