The Foton Tunland V9 is Foton Motor Philippines Inc (FMPI) first-ever hybrid pickup truck in the country. Power comes from a 2.0-liter Aucan turbo-diesel engine that is assisted by a 48V mild-hybrid system. It puts out an admirable 163 PS along with a hearty 450 Nm of torque.

Compared to the Thunder’s 2.0L engine, the Tunland V9 pickup makes an extra 2 PS along with an additional 70 Nm of pull. Power is then transferred to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. Depending on the variant chosen, it can come in either 4x2 or 4x4 guises.
