Pickup trucks have been popular vehicles in the country for long now. With increasing awareness toward eco-friendliness, the demand for these vehicles has not fallen as new models with increasingly fuel-efficient designs enter the market. The future of environment-friendly trends in the pickup market is to move from fossil fuels to hybrid engines and, eventually, to all-electric trucks. Technological advancement has enabled people to choose from green options for pickup trucks.

Some pickup truck owners tend to stick to the same brand when buying new vehicles, so the established companies in the industry have the upper hand when introducing newer and green options for pickup trucks. On the other hand, several new companies also specialize in electric vehicles are entering the pickup truck market. This article provides an introduction to both new and established players in the industry that provide green options for pickup trucks.

Established manufacturers
The favorites in the market remain the F-150 and the Ram 1500, both of which have great features and are also great haulers. These trucks have great fuel efficiency, both in the gas-powered and diesel-powered versions:

• The Ram 1500 offers EcoDiesel and eTorque mild-hybrid engine variants and is a good balance between the benefits of both fossil fuel and electric engines. The carbon emissions of this vehicle are low, and it has a good design and look, high-end features, and excellent power as well as handling.
• The Ford F-150 looks great and comes with an environment-friendly engine. There is a range of models to choose from, and they have great hauling capacity. There are no details yet, but Ford customers await an all-electric Ford pickup truck that’s in the works.
• The GM electric pickup truck is said to be in development, but the design and other details are still under wraps.
• The newer Chevrolet and GMC trucks have stayed on the list of green options for pickup trucks by continually improving their fuel efficiency and carbon emission numbers.

Newer entrants

• The Tesla Cybertruck has grabbed headlines and attention worldwide for its out-of-the-box take on the pickup truck. It has many features that are new to models in the pickup truck market and is a unique model. It is a wonder how many people are buying it as it is radically designed and not just because it is one of the green options for pickup trucks.
• The Rivian R1T is much awaited and has a unique design with attractive features suitable for buyers looking for an all-electric pickup truck.
• Another great green option for pickup trucks, the Bollinger B2 is a pickup truck that’s not as eye-catching as some of the other competitors’ designs. It also has a lower range, and it more than makes up for it with excellent off-roading capabilities and outstanding performance on the highway.
