It is no secret that Mahindra has been eyeing the North American market for a while now. An electric pickup truck could finally be Mahindra’s entry into the elusive market, but it won’t come easy seeing as the market is dominated by the Toyota-Ford-Chevrolet trinity.

It is speculated that the Mahindra electric pickup truck could share Volkswagen’s MEB modular platform, as a part of a collaboration between the two automakers. This joint venture allows Mahindra to use Volkswagen’s electric components for its own EVs.

We could see the Mahindra electric pickup truck being offered in both single and dual-motor configurations. The battery pack and other configurations are still unknown, but more details will be announced as we get closer to the debut. Rumours suggest that the Mahindra electric pickup truck will source the battery packs from LG and a Chinese supplier. The range offered would be around 400km.

With MADE involved in vehicle design and Mahindra North American Technical Center engineering the EV, Mahindra looks to develop a vehicle catering to the North American market. The North American launch will follow soon after the UK debut on August 15. Earlier, Mahindra had tried breaking into Western Europe and North American markets with the acquisition of Ssangyong and the launch of its off-roader, the Mahindra Roxor.
