Capital Smart Motors (CSM) announced the RD6 as the first all-electric pickup for Pakistan. The launch came via a dramatic Facebook post, branding the truck as where “electric innovation meets everyday utility” and confirming a starting price of PKR 13,299,000
Remember the rumblings back in May when CSM signed that MoU with Geely’s Radar Auto? That partnership was the power-up, and now we’ve got Pakistan’s pickup narrative officially rewritten
