In 2026, China's pickup truck market is undergoing a structural transformation. With the relaxation of urban access policies, the implementation of legal modification regulations, and a younger user demographic, pickups are gradually shedding their traditional tool-vehicle image. They are evolving along three main directions: commercial specialization, premium passenger use, and lifestyle scenario integration.

　　At the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show, POER launched a range of new Hi4-T ecosystem products, covering three core sectors: professional operations, outdoor recreation, and travel accommodation. With its ability to implement scenario-based solutions, POER is breaking through the homogenization of competition and offering a clear path for differentiated development in the new energy pickup market.

　　The professional-oriented Commercial POER Hi4-T Flyer Edition is priced at RMB 151,800 for the two-drive PHEV model and RMB 168,800 for the four-drive Hi4-T model. The premium leisure-oriented Passenger POER Hi4-T Black Warrior Edition is priced at RMB 178,800 for the Comfort model and RMB 188,800 for the Premium model. Combined with five purchase benefits, including trade-in allowances, zero-interest financing, and charging interoperability, these scenario-based products deliver tangible value to end users.

Commercial Specialization: Deepening Vertical Industry-Specific Operational Solutions

　　Professional scenarios such as drone crop protection, field exploration, and aerial lifting have long faced challenges including difficult outdoor recharging, limited access on complex roads, and insufficient protection for precision equipment. Building on a user co-creation system, the POER Flyer Edition precisely targets the core needs of professional practitioners, achieving a transformation from a general-purpose tool vehicle to a specialized operational platform.

　　The vehicle's core configurations are tailored to field operation requirements, with a professional recharging system directly addressing outdoor power bottlenecks. The 30kW super external discharge supports simultaneous fast charging for two devices, capable of recharging two drone batteries in just 8 minutes, adapting to high-frequency operational rhythms.

　　The industry-unique 27kW simultaneous charge-and-discharge function, combined with a 33.1kWh battery and a 75-liter fuel tank providing a total stored energy of 223kWh, enables uninterrupted all-day operational power supply. The 110kW high-power fast charging ensures rapid replenishment, minimizing operational interruptions and adapting to high-intensity field work modes.

　　The proven Hi4-T off-road hybrid architecture provides reliable performance support for complex operating conditions. With a combined range exceeding 1,000 kilometers, it meets long-distance operational needs. The parallel oil-electric architecture effectively prevents power attenuation during long-distance climbing and low-battery conditions, while 11,572 N·m of wheel-end torque ensures capability in extreme off-road situations.

　　Increased battery ground clearance and chassis protective coatings mitigate the risk of battery damage on rough field roads. Features such as Sentry Mode, 360° transparent chassis, and dedicated rear window protective mesh safeguard both the vehicle and precision operational equipment. The addition of the Coffee OS 3 intelligent cockpit addresses the historical shortcomings of ride comfort in commercial pickups, achieving a balance between professional performance and a comfortable experience.

Premium Passenger Use: Focusing on Off-Road and Outdoor Customer Needs

　　Targeting outdoor enthusiasts, the Passenger POER Hi4-T Black Warrior Edition leverages exclusive custom design and comprehensive off-road performance to secure a position in the high-end personalized pickup segment. The full blacked-out appearance package, combined with red brake calipers, creates distinct visual identity, breaking away from the homogenized design of mass-produced models and appealing to younger users' preference for personalization.

　　The vehicle features a full-terrain driving system covering multiple complex road condition modes, supplemented by functions such as Tank Turn, Crawl Control, and Launch Control. This ensures both urban commuting smoothness and hardcore off-road performance.

　　With a range exceeding 1,000 kilometers, long-distance travel anxiety is completely eliminated. The dual-path external discharge system can simultaneously power various types of outdoor equipment, transforming the vehicle from a mere means of transport into a mobile energy hub. This makes it fully adaptable to diverse outdoor scenarios, including camping, overlanding, and short-term travel accommodation, achieving a dual advancement in performance and practicality.

Lifestyle Scenario Integration: Expanding Life's Boundaries Through Ecosystem Collaboration

　　Following the implementation of regulations legalizing pickup truck modifications, lightweight travel pickups have emerged as a new industry trend. However, third-party modified vehicles often suffer from issues such as insufficient compliance, poor adaptability, and safety deficiencies. POER, in collaboration with Lanzhong RV, has launched two co-created models, filling the market gap for compliant travel pickups with original factory-standard solutions.

　　The Light Travel Co-creation Edition focuses on lightweight, refined camping. Its intelligent elevating roof tent and double-decker space combine practicality with a sense of adventure. Its compliant body dimensions allow free access to urban underground parking garages, breaking down the barrier between urban commuting and outdoor camping.

　　The Double-Row Pop-Top RV caters to comprehensive travel accommodation needs. Its elevating soft-top structure balances through-ability and interior space. With complete living amenities and external discharge functionality, the pickup offers triple functionality for commuting, overlanding, and travel accommodation, maximizing the vehicle's utility.

　　Overall, this Hi4-T ecosystem matrix demonstrates POER's core product logic: electrification is merely the foundational platform; scenario-based implementation and ecosystem extension are the true competitive differentiators. The focus is on addressing real user needs, and through deep vertical scenario cultivation and cross-industry co-creation, POER endows its pickup products with greater possibilities and user value.

YUNSHUREN.COM Commentary:

　　The current structural upgrade of the pickup industry is fundamentally a shift from "cost-performance competition" to "scenario-value competition." The core breakthrough of the POER Hi4-T series lies in deeply integrating hybrid technology with specific scenarios—solving industry pain points through professional customization, aligning with consumer upgrades through premium experiences, and perfecting the ecosystem through compliant co-creation—thereby building a robust product moat.

　　This development model, driven by demand, implemented through scenarios, and empowered by ecosystem, not only solidifies POER's industry leadership but also provides a clear path for the high-quality upgrade of China's pickup industry, driving the transformation of Chinese pickups from functional workhorses to versatile lifestyle vehicles.
