Hyundai to unveil electric truck in Brisbane

Hyundai Motor Company Australia will enter the electric commercial vehicle market with the arrival of the 4×2 Mighty electric truck, which will be shown for the first time in public at the upcoming Brisbane Truck Show.

With a GVM rating of up to 7.3 tonnes, a payload of up to 3.5 tonnes and a laden range in excess of 200km, Hyundai says the Mighty is suited for final-mile deliveries for operators seeking a zero-tailpipe emissions vehicle.

It is quiet and smooth to drive and comes with many safety and comfort features, including forward collision-avoidance assist, lane departure warning and electronic stability control.

Trucks displayed at the 2023 Brisbane Truck Show will include a flatbed and a pantech, with further body options available once sales commence.

The Hyundai Mighty electric truck is powered by a 120kW, 320Nm traction motor fed by a 114.5kWh battery system with rapid DC charging capability that, according to Hyundai, can replenish the batteries from 10 per cent to 100 per cent in under 70 minutes.

Deliveries begin mid-year via a national network of commercial vehicle dealers.

A five-year/200,000km vehicle warranty and eight-year/400,000km battery warranty are standard.

The Hyundai display will be found at Stand 112, Hall 1, of the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, where the 2023 Brisbane Truck Show will be held over May 18 to 21.
