Two-wheel drive diesel electric hybrid...truck?

India's hard working Hero RNT hybrid motorcycle can handle a load of goods, crates of produce AND even accommodate a family of four/livestock! It does all of that with two-wheel drive, front hub-mounted electric motor, diesel engine/portable generator. There is even an optional turbo-charged version. The LED headlight can be used as an utility work light, the on-board generator can operate the power tools of a tradesman, and a cantilevered frame body that could be strapped down with hefty loads.

Nice "truck". I should post a photo of my motorcycle that has a 8ft bed, room for 5 and 4 wheel drive.

Thats a cool bike. Has to be one of the smallest diesels ever at 150cc. They are calling it a hybrid as it potentially could have an electric hub motor on the front wheel...

Vapor ware. No motor vehicle advertises how much live stock it can carry.

It's just a concept at this point from the sound of it.

I hope it becomes reality. With at max top spped og 70 km/t (44 miles) and a diesel engine economy should be good. Two wheel drive is mentioned, but not shown (no hub motor), and it also carries a generator with outlet socket.

Very usefull machine in many rural settings.
Two wheel drive wil give it amazong cross country abalities i pared with a low gearing.
