A New Era for Pickups: Foton Launches E-Tunland Electric Pickup in Nepal

The landscape of commercial and lifestyle vehicles in Nepal is undergoing a significant transformation, with the spotlight shifting towards sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives.

Foton E-Tunland Nepal

Leading this charge is Foton, a brand already well-established in the Nepali market, which has officially introduced its revolutionary electric pickup truck, the E-Tunland, at the ongoing NADA Auto Show 2025 in Bhrikutimandap, Kathmandu.

The launch, orchestrated by MAW Commercial, the official distributor of Foton vehicles in the country, marks a pivotal moment for both the brand and the Nepali automotive industry. The Foton E-Tunland represents a bold step towards a fuel-free future, offering the robust power and rugged performance expected from a pickup, but with zero emissions.

Powering a Greener Future

At the heart of the E-Tunland is its state-of-the-art 88 kWh CATL battery. CATL (Contemporary Amperex Technology Co. Limited) is a global leader in battery technology, renowned for its quality and reliability.

This high-capacity battery promises an impressive driving range of 350 km on a single charge, as per the globally recognized WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standards. This range makes the E-Tunland a highly practical vehicle for both commercial and personal use, capable of handling long-distance hauls and daily commutes without range anxiety.

The electric pickup is propelled by a powerful 130 kW motor, delivering instant torque and responsive acceleration that surpasses traditional internal combustion engines. This motor, combined with a two-wheel-drive configuration, ensures the E-Tunland is more than capable of navigating the diverse and often challenging terrains of Nepal, from urban streets to rural roads.

Confidence in Durability: Unmatched Warranty

MAW Commercial is backing the Foton E-Tunland with an industry-leading warranty package, a clear sign of the company’s confidence in the vehicle’s durability and performance. The battery comes with an exceptional warranty of 8 years or up to 400,000 km, whichever comes first.

This provides unprecedented peace of mind to buyers, mitigating the primary concern associated with electric vehicles: battery longevity and replacement costs. The motor is also covered by a substantial warranty of 5 years or up to 200,000 km, further cementing the vehicle’s long-term reliability.

Pricing and Launch Offer

The Foton E-Tunland is available for booking at a price of NPR 69.99 lakhs. To sweeten the deal for potential buyers at the NADA Auto Show, MAW Commercial has announced a special introductory discount of NPR 1 lakh.

This limited-time offer makes the E-Tunland even more attractive, particularly for businesses and individuals looking to make a sound, long-term investment in sustainable transportation.

The launch of the E-Tunland is a significant addition to Foton’s already popular lineup of pickups in Nepal. The brand, known for its rugged and dependable vehicles, had previously garnered considerable attention with its Foton G7 model.

The E-Tunland now builds on this legacy, offering an eco-friendly alternative without compromising on the core strengths of the Foton brand.

This move by MAW Commercial and Foton is a testament to the growing market for electric vehicles in Nepal. As the country grapples with rising fuel costs and environmental concerns, electric pickups like the E-Tunland offer a compelling solution.

They combine the utility and performance of a traditional pickup with the economic and environmental benefits of an EV, making them a perfect fit for a wide range of applications, from logistics and construction to adventure and leisure.

The unveiling of the Foton E-Tunland at the NADA Auto Show 2025 is more than just a product launch; it is a statement of intent. It signifies a commitment to a greener, more sustainable future for Nepal’s automotive sector, promising to redefine how we think about power, performance, and purpose on the road.
