GAC rolls out an edgy truck concept

The GAC Pickup 01 is packed to the trim with modern technology and is supposed to preview the company’s new design language, as well as its first take on a pickup truck.

There is little known about the concept, but it sure looks rugged and unlike most trucks on the market. GAC pitches it as an “ultra-modern means of transportation for any occasion.” It comes equipped with state-of-the-art driver assist technologies, digital steering and control, adaptive suspension, and a semi-autonomous driving package.

What remains unknown is whether the Pickup 01 will ever reach actual production. GAC had expressed a desire to become a truck manufacturer before, but starting with a model as bold and divisive as this one could be risky in a market starved for traditional cars.
