Radar hopes to usher in a new era for pickups in the country by electrifying them.

The new brand is owned by the Geely Auto Group and specializes in building midsize electric and plugin hybrid pickups. With its unique take on building pickups, Radar hopes to introduce technology, efficiency, and sophistication without sacrificing a pickup's most valuable quality: utility. Now in the Philippines, Radar is ready to compete in the fast-growing local electrified pickup segment with its mantra: "Built Electric. Built Solid."

Radar is distributed by UAAGI, and during the brand's launch, it also took the wraps off its flagship model, the RD6. This electrified pickup is available in both EV and PHEV powertrains, with multiple configurations catering to every need and lifestyle.
