Islamabad, Aug 3, 2025: Pakistan’s auto industry is about to welcome a revolutionary vehicle—an electric SUV offering an extraordinary range of over 1,100 kilometers, redefining long-distance electric mobility in the country.
Capital Smart Motors is preparing to launch the Forthing Friday REEV, a cutting-edge Electric SUV with 1100KM range in Pakistan. Manufactured by Dongfeng Liuzhou Motor—part of the renowned Dongfeng Motor Group in China—this SUV is designed to tackle range anxiety head-on.
The SUV delivers an impressive total driving range of approximately 1,150 kilometers. Out of this, around 600 kilometers come solely from electric power, while an additional 550 kilometers are supported by a built-in range extender, a small petrol-powered generator that charges the battery on the go.
What is a Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV)?
A Range-Extended Electric Vehicle (REEV) combines the benefits of a battery-electric vehicle (BEV) with the added security of a fuel-powered generator. The REEV technology ensures the SUV continues running even when the battery depletes—perfect for Pakistan’s current charging infrastructure limitations.
Unlike conventional hybrids, REEVs are driven by electric motors at all times, with the internal combustion engine never directly powering the wheels. This unique setup allows for a smooth and fully electric driving experience while enabling longer road trips without frequent charging stops.
Game Changer for the Pakistani EV Market
The arrival of the Forthing Friday REEV could mark a turning point in the Pakistani EV landscape. With limited EV models offering high range, this SUV is expected to set a new benchmark for efficiency, performance, and innovation.
