The truck is equipped with a V6 engine that puts out 476 brake horsepower, and has been designed for use in various functions including transporting cargo and tank lorries, the company said.

The vehicle also comes with a number of high-tech features including cruise control, and eco-roll function that puts the gear into neutral when the accelerator is not being used to reduce fuel consumption, the company said.
