Evolution Auto, Sri Lanka’s leading electric mobility solutions provider, officially announced the launch of the Riddara RD6 Active, the country’s latest all-electric double-cab pickup, which was unveiled at the prestigious BMICH Motor Show. The RD6 Active, which is designed to combine the practicality of a pickup with SUV-like comfort, is a major milestone in increasing the accessibility, affordability, and relevance of electric double-cabs to Sri Lankan lifestyles.
The Riddara RD6 Active, positioned as the most affordable electric pickup in its class, was introduced to satisfy the evolving needs of Sri Lanka’s youth, professionals, families, and adventure seekers by providing powerful electric performance without sacrificing comfort, functionality, or everyday usability.
Built on a globally recognised electric platform, the Riddara RD6 Active provides a smooth, confident driving experience that feels much like a SUV than a traditional pickup, while maintaining the functionality expected from a double-cab. The RD6 Active has a range of up to 373 kilometers on a single charge, making it ideal for both workday demands and weekend trips.
An 8-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, a digital driver instrument cluster, electric driver-side seats, leather upholstery, and 17-inch alloy wheels are just a few of the car’s many comfort and technological features. While cutting-edge safety features guarantee peace of mind on Sri Lankan roads, fast charging capacity further improves convenience.
The RD6 Active offers a strong substitute for traditional diesel double-cabs as fuel prices rise and sustainability becomes a more significant factor. Without compromising torque or road presence, electric ownership delivers considerably lower operating and maintenance costs, less of an impact on the environment, and quieter, smoother performance.
By demonstrating that EV double-cabs can be powerful, practical, and able to handle local road conditions, the RD6 Active immediately dispels widespread preconceptions about electric vehicles. The ease of switching to electric mobility is further reinforced by Sri Lanka’s growing charging infrastructure and the comfort of home charging.
With solid warranties, transparent service guidelines, and trained EV technicians, Evolution Auto brings its proven credibility and expertise in Sri Lanka’s EV market to the Riddara brand. With a specialized EV workshop in Peliyagoda, the company has also strengthened its after-sales ecosystem, guaranteeing customers receive reliable long-term support.
Speaking at the launch, Virann de Zoyza, Group CEO of Evolution Auto, said: “The launch of the Riddara RD6 Active marks a turning point in Sri Lanka’s transition to electric vehicles. Our mission at Evolution Auto has always been to increase the practicality and accessibility of sustainable transportation. The RD6 Active is more than just an electric pickup; it’s a lifestyle vehicle that helps Sri Lanka transition to a cleaner, smarter mobility future while offering performance, comfort, and value. Our confidence in the vehicle and the market’s increasing readiness is demonstrated by its unveiling at the BMICH Motor Show.”
Evolution Auto continues to lead Sri Lanka’s shift to cutting-edge, sustainable transportation options with the launch of the Riddara RD6 Active. The vehicle represents evolving consumer expectations, which place equal importance on efficiency, technology, and environmental responsibility as they do on performance and design.
Now available through Evolution Auto, the Riddara RD6 Active invites drivers in Sri Lanka to experience a new standard in electric double-cab mobility—one that actually drives like an SUV and serves as a pickup.
