2021年7月，东风勇士M50皮卡投产，作为中国悍马的民用版。半年后，当地媒体报道称，东风正在开发一种全电动的勇士，将于2023年开始生产。

据《中国汽车新闻》报道，这款车的代号为M18-1，随后将是M18-2和M18-3的变种。据报道，它们都将基于东风新推出的“MORV”越野车电动平台。目前还不清楚它与勇士M50的车身结构有多相似，但据称这款电动汽车将长5.2米（204.7英寸），双排六座，车重3100公斤（6834磅）。我们也不知道东风是否会选择类似于M50的老式的、四四方方的设计，或者尝试一些更高档的东西，让电动汽车更接近竞争对手GMC悍马电动汽车。

据称，东风将为这款电动勇士配备140千瓦时的电池组，续航500公里（311英里）。中国网站提到了27分钟的快速充电时间，但我们会对此持保留态度。

据说，该电动动力系统可以产生高达1073马力(800kW/1088PS)，百公里加速5秒以内。这将使M18比ice动力的兄弟快得多，后者配备了老款4.0升卡明斯涡轮柴油发动机，仅生产200马力(149kW/203PS)。据传，这款电动汽车卡车还将使用东风最新的ADAS功能，获得2.5级自动驾驶功能。

这家中国公司已经开始建造一个生产M18电动汽车的新工厂。最初的年产量将为2万辆，稍后计划将其增加到5万辆。东风的目标价格在60万至70万元人民币之间，相当于9.4万至11万美元。相比之下，燃油款东风勇士M50起价为668,800元人民币（105,140美元），而更现代的GMC悍马EV第一版在美国的售价为112,595美元。

Dongfeng Reportedly Developing A GMC Hummer EV Competitor

BY THANOS PAPPAS | POSTED ONFEBRUARY 4, 2022 

In July 2021, the Dongfeng Warrior M50 pickup entered production in China as the civilian version of the reverse-engineered Humvee used for decades by the Chinese military. Half a year later, reports from local media suggest that Dongfeng is developing a fully electric variant of the Warrior, with production set to start in 2023.

According to Car News China, the vehicle is codenamed M18-1 and will be followed by the M18-2 and M18-3 variants. All of them will be reportedly based on Dongfeng’s new “MORV” electric platform for off-road vehicles. It is not clear how close it will be to the body-on-frame architecture of the Warrior M50, but the EV will allegedly measure 5,200 mm (204.7 inches) long, have a six-seater cabin, and weigh 3,100 kg (6,834 pounds). We also don’t know if Dongfeng will opt for an old-school boxy design approach similar to the M50, or try something fancier, bringing the EV closer to the rival GMC Hummer EV.

Dongfeng will allegedly equip the electric Warrior with a 140 kWh battery pack, allowing a rather optimistic 500 km (311-mile) range. The Chinese website mentioned a fast charging time of 27 minutes but we would take this with a pinch of salt.

The electric powertrain is said to produce as much as 1,073 hp (800 kW / 1,088 PS), allowing a 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in under 5 seconds. This would make the M18 significantly faster than its ICE-powered sibling that is fitted with the old 4.0-liter Cummings turbodiesel producing only 200 hp (149 kW / 203 PS). The EV truck is also rumored to get Level 2.5 autonomous capability using Dongfeng’s latest ADAS features.

The Chinese company has started building a new factory for the production of the M18 EVs. The annual production capacity will be 20,000 units initially, with plans on increasing it to 50,000 vehicles later on. Dongfeng is targeting a price range between ¥600,000-700,000 Chinese Yuan which is equal to $94,000-110,000. By comparison, the ICE-powered Dongfeng Warrior M50 starts from ¥668,800 ($105,140), while the significantly more modern GMC Hummer EV Edition 1 is selling for $112,595 in the U.S.​​​​
