Chinese automaker GAC has shaken the auto world with the debut of its Pickup 01 concept at the 2025 Auto Shanghai. Nicknamed the “Cyber-Hummer,” this beast looks like Tesla’s Cybertruck and GMC’s Hummer EV had a high-tech baby. And it's not just for show—GAC has big global plans for this truck.
Outrageous Exterior: Sci-Fi Meets Muscle
The design is wild and unapologetically futuristic. A sharp, angular front fascia with floating headlights, a full-width LED light bar, red recovery hooks, and slab-sided doors give it an intimidating, sci-fi presence. Massive fenders and digital side mirrors scream off-road dominance.
Mind-Bending Interior: Dual Drive, Minimalist Cabin
Inside, things are just as bold. A sliding octagonal steering wheel allows the Pickup 01 to switch between left-hand and right-hand driving—perfect for international markets. A center-mounted display and angular console round out the sleek, minimalist vibe.
Built on GAC’s Advanced GAIA Platform
The Pickup 01 isn’t just flashy. It rides on the GAC Adaptive Intelligent Architecture (GAIA), which allows it to adapt its powertrain and suspension for urban, off-road, or heavy-payload driving. That means serious versatility in real-world conditions.
A Global Gameplan: Not Just for China
Unlike many Chinese concepts, this one’s going global. Initial rollout will focus on Australia, Chile, and Saudi Arabia, with Mexico being a possible next stop. GAC wants the Pickup 01 to be more than a concept—it’s planning for a global utility vehicle revolution.
Why It Matters: A Real Threat to Cybertruck?
With its bold looks, adaptive tech, and powerful output, the Pickup 01 could be one of the most disruptive new trucks on the market. It blends the ruggedness of a Hummer with the innovation of a Tesla, and it's aimed straight at international buyers.
