Max speed 25 mph. Slate truck seems better.

Nice to see them coming, but the "Federal Safety Requirements Applicable to a Low-Speed Vehicle (LSV)" compliance apparently means use on public roads with a posted top speed of 35MPH.
25mph
edit: top speed of 25, looks like I completely misread. d'oh.
That's the top speed it can go, but you're only allowed to drive it on roads with speed limits of up to 35mph.
We have tons of kei trucks and vans here in Hawai’i. Pretty sure they’re not limited to 25mph. And the fact that they’re not releasing an EV version tells me that this is just a stunt. Hopefully it’s effective enough to drop the size of trucks though
Basically since those are 25 years old, they are imported under a different set of rules compared to these cars.
Basically everything above 25 years old doesn't have to meet fmvss regs if it's imported.
this is just a stunt.
Really? The automaker that keeps going back to fucking Hydrogen after 20 years of the market actively telling them to fuck off? No, they can't possibly be doing shit just for headlines.
With the LSV registration they are going after the golf cart market, it's not a real alternative to a car because of regulatory constraints
Out in my neck of the woods you just slap an orange triangle on it and down the road you go.
This is really exciting! And hopefully road laws are updated to expand their use. Kei vehicles are my jam!
Only expected to add 50 jobs at the Indiana plant so sure sounds like really limited availability to said fleet customers. Right hand drive. Looks like a great farm truck if it could be priced similar to Japan... no word on pricing though.
Every shitty simulator game on steam starts out with a dinky truck like this.
Looks like im gonna have to go find employment at one of these companies to steal myself a kei truck.
Overvalued tbh and I've driven more than a handful of them. Get a 90s minitruck like a Ranger/Mazda or Nissan Hardbody for a quarter the price
