(Edit: The below information was what was reported during the Thailand Auto Show, but it appears, at best, it is assembled in Thailand, but manufactured in China) The King Long is a Chinese full-BEV pickup truck, made in Thailand. Pickup trucks are extremely popular in Thailand. Historically pickup trucks sell well here because the imported Japanese and American pickups had lower excise taxes vs. sedans, coupes, sports cars and SUVs, and because they are often used as part of a rural Thai's work / business.

Bjorn also did a full walk-thru video of this and had a couple of the organisers with him to guide him to the EV booths. Quite amazing.
Would love to do the Bangkok show next year
@@LudicrousFeedPlease do! We live in Thailand and English-language news on EVs and solar is completely non-existent. 😫😢

Will be interesting to see if it makes its way to Australia …
Hopefully some of them make it to the UK.
🙏
I went to the Bangkok Motor Show as well. In spite of the spelling Wuling had several RH drive Bingos there. An interesting possibility for Australia.
Very interesting …
Zeekre would be crazy not to send the 001 FR to Australia !!
