Smart to unveil tiny For-US electric pickup at North American International Auto Show

Do you dig the scale and efficiency of the Smart Fortwo , but need something a bit more manly than that snub-nosed hatchback? Well, it feels like your prayers can be answered at January’s North American International Auto Show in Detroit. Reports have it which will be where the For-US, Smart’s plug-in pickup, may have its official unveiling. At about 12 feet long the “truck” is sort of 50-percent larger than its sub-compact counterpart, but that extra room is put to good use. The bed within the back is home to a couple docking stations for the company’s Ebikes . It is a pretty interesting concept, but we’re wondering how lugging two heavy electric cycles will affect the variability of 17.7kW/h lithium ion battery. Head on past the break for an additional image, and hit up the source for much more sketches of the approaching mini EV pickup.
