HANGZHOU, China, March 4, 2025 — Geely Riddara presented its global strategy and product range at the 2025 GEELY RIDDARA Global Conference in Hangzhou on February 25. As the automotive industry undergoes a significant transformation towards new energy and intelligent systems, Geely Riddara, Geely Auto Group’s pickup truck division, is pioneering innovation in the global pickup market with its advanced strategies and state-of-the-art technologies.

The RD6, the brand’s leading model, recognized as the NEV Pickup Leader in China, has achieved broad acceptance in over 50 countries, including those in Eastern Europe, the Middle East, the Asia-Pacific region, and Latin America. The RD6’s international success is attributed to its innovative technological design and a focus on user needs.

The RD6, which is based on China‘s first fully electric pickup truck platform (M.A.P), has a highly efficient electric drive system. The 4WD version can accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds and has a four-wheel independent suspension for the best possible balance of power and handling. The RD6 also has great all-terrain capability, with a maximum climb gradient of 95%, a wading depth of 815mm, and a variety of driving modes.

The RD6 has an L2-level intelligent driving assistance system for enhanced driving intelligence. The RD6 also stands out for its practicality, with a payload capacity of 1,030 kg and a towing capacity of 3,000 kg. The model’s body is made of 70% high-strength steel, which ensures dependability in both commercial and family settings.

Geely Riddara is changing pickup trucks from simple work vehicles to smart, connected platforms. By 2025, the company will add the RD6 Econ and PHEV models to its lineup. The RD6 Econ offers considerable savings in terms of purchase price, operation, and maintenance. It has remarkable power, with plenty of torque for towing, climbing, and carrying big loads. It also offers a smooth ride with rapid acceleration, precise turning, and great comfort. The RD6 Econ puts safety first, with strong protection for the chassis, driving systems, and pedestrians. Geely Riddara will also offer specialized solutions for business, expanding the product’s usage possibilities in international markets.

Geely Riddara CEO Dr. Ling Shiquan discussed the future trends of new energy pickups during the conference. New energy pickups will combine energy and IoT platforms in the future, which will transform pickups.

Geely Riddara offers effective, environmentally friendly transportation options and develops an interconnected ecosystem through energy and IoT platforms, ranging from the all-electric RD6 to its full-scenario product line. Geely Riddara is dedicated to promoting research and development and cross-industry collaborations as global carbon neutrality efforts grow, leading the evolution of premium, intelligent electric pickups and guiding the industry toward a sustainable future.
