A small truck called the Renault Niagara has caught attention with its unique drivetrain. Unlike the ill-fated Mercedes X-Class, which was just a rebadged Nissan Navara, the Niagara offers something different. This conceptual truck features a hybrid setup. It has a mild-hybrid gasoline engine that powers the front wheels, while an electric motor takes care of the rear axle. By combining these two power sources, the Niagara becomes a four-wheel-drive vehicle that can go anywhere.

Renault emphasizes that the Niagara can handle half of your everyday drives in full-electric mode. This means that, after shutting off the internal combustion engine (ICE), the truck can still operate as a rear-wheel-drive electric vehicle. While the specific details about the battery pack are not mentioned, it is likely to be small since the Niagara is a compact pickup and the electric range only lasts for half a day.
