UMW Toyota Motor has showcased two of its electrified Toyota Hilux concepts at the Toyota Beyond Zero showcase event. The two concept models are the Toyota Hilux Revo E EV, and the hydrogen fuel cell-powered Hilux FCEV.
The Toyota Hilux Revo E EV Concept is the Japanese brand’s first all-electric pick-up truck. The concept takes the form of a single cab format, making it most suitable as a last-mile delivery truck.
The Toyota Hilux Revo E measures 5,325 mm long, 1,815 mm wide, and 1,795 mm tall, which makes it exactly the size of the regular diesel-powered single-cab Hilux. Toyota says the EV Hilux will be powered by a lithium-ion battery, although its capacity hasn’t been revealed just yet. It will also sport a rear-wheel drive layout, and have a driving range of 200 km.
Aside from just full EVs, Toyota’s Multi-pathway strategy for its electrified models also consists of hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) and Fuel Cell Vehicles (FCEVs). With that, the Japanese marque’s Hilux FCEV Concept, its first-ever pick-up model that utilizes hydrogen and oxygen, was also present at the event.

The Toyota Hilux FCEV prototype showcased here in Malaysia was developed in Thailand, and is different from the one developed by Toyota Motor United Kingdom (TMUK). The two models can be easily differentiated as the Thai Hilux FCEV Concept comes in a double cab format, while the UK model sports a club cab body style.
Size-wise, the Hilux FCEV Concept has the same dimensions as the electric Toyota Hilux Revo E. It has a hydrogen capacity of 7.2 kg (70 MPa) and features a rear-wheel drive layout. Its driving range is rated at 600 km, which is much higher than the BEV Hilux, even though the specific test cycle used isn’t stated.
These Toyota Hilux Revo E EV and FCEV pick-ups are still concept models at the time of writing and aren’t made into series production models just yet. Toyota has also yet to provide a timeframe on when the Hilux Revo E EV or Hilux FCEV will make their debut. But what do you think of the potential future “Hailaks”?
