VinFast, a Vietnamese company that is bidding to carve out a niche for itself in the electric automobile market by offering up electrically powered vehicles at a reasonable price, has unveiled the 'VF Wild,' an electric pickup truck concept.
Developed as part of a collaboration with Australian design studio GoMotiv, the 'VF Wild' electric pickup truck is equipped with a midgate which, when opened, allows for the seats to be folded out in order to create an enlarged bed. Elsewhere, the dimensions of 209 x 79 inches well and truly places this electric pickup truck in the mid-size range.
As far as aesthetic attributes are concerned, the 'VF Wild' uses what VinFast dubs a 'Fluid Dynamism' design that mimics "the flowing motion of a superhero’s cape in the wind."
