  "account": "Pakistan's first locally assembled REEV 4x4 truck, the Nevo Hunter, has officially begun deliveries following a line-off ceremony at Master Changan Motors Limited (MCML) in Karachi on October 27, 2026. MCML accelerated production to meet a 90-day deadline, constructing a specialized body-on-frame REEV assembly line to bolster its commitment to introducing advanced new-energy technology to additional vehicle categories in Pakistan. The Hunter, NEVO's inaugural offering in Pakistan, embodies Changan's ambition of democratizing mass electrification to the truck sector. Introduced at The Next Leap, NEVO is a cornerstone of Changan's House of Brands, dedicated to delivering intelligent, affordable, and future-ready new-energy vehicles to a broader clientele. The Hunter transcends the typical truck category, offering a fusion of comfort, capability, and range confidence, addressing the long-standing shortcomings in the market. Powered by a dual-motor powertrain boasting 322 horsepower and 529 Nm of torque, the Hunter accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in a mere 7.9 seconds. Equipped with REEV technology, it provides electric driving excellence alongside extended range, ensuring confidence even without extensive charging infrastructure. The Hunter's 31.18 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery features an IP68 waterproof rating and five-layer protection, with DC fast charging from 30% to 80% in roughly 30 minutes. Paired with a 3.3 kW Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) system, the Hunter transforms into a mobile power source for adventures, work sites, and emergencies, capable of sustaining a 1,000W load for over nine days. Built on a high-strength body-on-frame ladder chassis, it offers a payload capacity of 1,010 kg and a towing capacity of 2.5 tonnes. Advanced safety features such as electronic stability control, traction control, hill start assist, and hill-descent control further lend to its confidence across demanding terrains. Priced at PKR 10,990,000 upon launch, the Hunter caters to C-SUV customers, allowing them to embrace the truck lifestyle without sacrificing everyday comfort. Its inaugural sales have been exceptionally strong, with the vehicle fully booked until February 2027. MCML's CEO, Mr. Danial Malik, lauded the Hunter as a transformative force in the truck segment, heralding a new era of electrified trucking lifestyle in Pakistan. The Hunter is now accessible through Changan's extensive nationwide sales and aftersales network, backed by specialized EV service capabilities.",
