“We are so passionate about building vehicles that can change people’s lives,” said Tony Aquila, Executive Chairman, Canoo. “Our pickup truck is as strong as the toughest trucks out there and is designed to be exponentially more productive. This truck works for you. We made accessories for people who use trucks \u2013 on the job, weekends, adventure. You name it, we did it because it’s your platform and she’s bad to the bone.”<\/p>\n

Canoo’s pickup truck was built with several unique features to help customers do more with their vehiclesi<\/sup>:<\/p>\n

\n Pull-out Bed Extension:<\/b>\u00a0<\/p>\n

The pickup truck bed is\u00a0six feet long and can extend to a fully enclosed eight feet, allowing big items such as a 4 by 8 ft sheet of plywood to easily fit inside.\u00a0The pull-handle bed extension also helps with loading and\u00a0unloading the truck. The extension also serves as a license plate holder. When the bed is extended, a second layer of tailgate doors can be swiveled out. The bed-extension also houses a secondary lamp, containing all tail lamp functions, so the truck can be driven while the bed space is maximized.<\/p>\n

\n Fold Down Worktable + Cargo Storage: <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

To offer the greatest customer utility, the pickup features a front cargo storage area that can hold tools or gear, also includes a fold down\u00a0worktable\u00a0with\u00a0electrical outlets.\u00a0The workstation table is extendable to allow customers to have maximized work surface\u00a0on the go, in addition to providing an area to put on gear before heading out exploring.<\/p>\n

\n
\n Flip-Down Side Tables<\/span>: <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

Both sides of the vehicle house a flip down table in two expandable depths. Built into the side panel of the truck bed, the\u00a0flip-down\u00a0side\u00a0table becomes a workbench with multi-functional power sources in close proximity.<\/p>\n

\n Side Step + Storage: <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

On the side of the vehicle there is a hidden step to allow quick and easy access to the truck bed. Underneath the step is a flexible storage area for items including: a first-aid kit, cooler for snacks and drinks, lockable laptop storage and more. This space efficient feature is only possible due to Canoo’s ultra-flat platform.<\/p>\n

\n Modular Bed with Space Dividers: <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The truck bed is modular with the use of Canoo’s space divider system designed to keep items separate and secure. The bed wall also incorporates modular wheel chocks to secure bikes and configurable tie downs for ladders, large equipment and other materials.<\/p>\n

\n Multi-Accessory Charge Port: <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The pickup truck can double as a powerplant with exportable power accessible on all sides of the vehicle. Power can last all day for tools\u00a0and devices, with as little as\u00a010% impact on vehicle range.|<\/p>\n

\n Integrated Overhead + Bed Perimeter Lighting: <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The third break light doubles as an overhead light to see inside the cargo bed at night. The vehicle is also equipped with perimeter lighting on all sides of the bed wall for added visibility.<\/p>\n

\n Roof Rack: <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The pickup truck has optional roof racks in variable sizes for added cargo storage. The roof rack is easily accessible from the flatbed or via the sidestep. <\/p>\n

\n Camper Shell: <\/b>\n <\/p>\n

The pickup truck has been designed to accommodate a variety of camper shells to fit as many use cases as possible.<\/p>\n

The pickup truck is the third vehicle that will be based on the company’s proprietary multi-purpose platform architecture, enabling the accelerated development timeline. Canoo’s EV platform functionally integrates all the critical components of an electric powertrain to be as flat and efficient as possible. Traditional EV platforms have power units, shock towers and mechanical steering columns that protrude into the vehicle and take up\u00a0space. By incorporating steer-by-wire and other space-saving technologies, Canoo’s thin platform, with no need for an engine compartment, allows the company to offer a flatbed size comparable to America’s best-selling pickup truck on a smaller footprint. This makes the vehicle easier to maneuver and more convenient to drive and park in any terrain. <\/p>\n
