Its debut vehicle, the MT1 pickup truck, is planned to enter production in 2025.[4][5] The MT1 is a purpose-built subcompact electric truck intending to combine the practicality of a pickup truck with the functionality needed for urban environments. In its conceptual phase, it is planned to have the smallest footprint of any truck in the American automotive domestic market.
