KP31 Introduces Diesel-Hybrid Pickup Technology

The KP31 is a diesel-hybrid pickup developed on a dedicated hybrid platform. One of its notable features is Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) external power supply capability, enabling the vehicle to provide electricity for camping equipment, power tools, and other external devices.
