Evolution Auto, Sri Lanka’s leading provider of electric mobility solutions, has officially launched the Riddara RD6 Active, the country’s newest all-electric double-cab pickup. The unveiling took place at the prestigious BMICH Motor Show, marking a significant milestone in making electric double-cabs more accessible, affordable, and relevant to Sri Lankan consumers.
The Riddara RD6 Active is positioned as the most affordable electric pickup in its segment. Designed to meet the diverse needs of youth, professionals, families, and adventure enthusiasts, the RD6 Active delivers robust electric performance while maintaining comfort, functionality, and everyday usability.
Built on a globally recognized electric platform, the RD6 Active offers a smooth, confident driving experience that closely resembles an SUV, without compromising the practicality of a double-cab. With a range of up to 373 kilometers on a single charge, the vehicle is well-suited for both daily commutes and weekend getaways.
The RD6 Active comes equipped with a range of advanced features, including an 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, a digital driver instrument cluster, electric driver-side seats, leather upholstery, and 17-inch alloy wheels. Enhanced safety technologies and fast charging capability add to the convenience and peace of mind for drivers on Sri Lankan roads.
As fuel prices continue to rise and sustainability becomes increasingly important, the RD6 Active presents a compelling alternative to traditional diesel double-cabs. Its electric platform offers lower operating and maintenance costs, reduced environmental impact, and a quieter, smoother driving experience, all without sacrificing torque or road presence.
The RD6 Active challenges common misconceptions about electric vehicles by proving that EV double-cabs can be powerful, practical, and well-suited to local road conditions. The growing charging infrastructure in Sri Lanka, along with the convenience of home charging, further simplifies the transition to electric mobility.
Evolution Auto supports the Riddara brand with robust warranties, transparent service guidelines, and a team of trained EV technicians. The company’s specialized EV workshop in Peliyagoda enhances its after-sales support ecosystem, ensuring reliable long-term service for customers.
At the launch event, Virann de Zoyza, Group CEO of Evolution Auto, stated, “The launch of the Riddara RD6 Active marks a turning point in Sri Lanka’s transition to electric vehicles. Our mission at Evolution Auto has always been to increase the practicality and accessibility of sustainable transportation.
