In talks with a little-known US electric pickup start-up named Hercules, Nissan is allegedly developing an electric version of its Titan pickup truck.
Hercules Electric Vehicles is a 2-year-old startup based out of Michigan.
They’re working on their own pickup truck, the Hercules Alpha, according to their website, with the following specs:
- 1000 HP 4-motor drive system
- 300+ miles EV range
- 0-60 MPH in 4 seconds
- Top Speed 120 MPH
- Advanced torque-vectoring AWD
- Superior Handling
- DC Fast Charge Standard
- Zero radius turning
- 12,500 Trailering Weight
- 2,500 lb. Payload
- 10,400 lb. GVWR
As we have seen Ford partner with Rivian and GM partner with Nikola, an alliance between a large automaker such as Nissan and a smaller electric pickup truck startup will not be fresh in the industry.
