KGM's four-wheel drive of the Musso EV, a passenger pickup truck, has been certified by the Ministry of Environment, and the certified mileage has been disclosed.The Musso EV is the first passenger-type body electric pickup truck in Korea, exceeding 3,200 units in two weeks of the main contract, and is receiving good responses. It consists of a two-wheel drive with a front-wheel motor and a four-wheel drive with a rear-wheel motor added. As a result of the contractor survey so far, the ratio of two-wheel selection was 60%, showing a slightly higher preference than four-wheel selection.



One of the biggest reasons is that electric vehicles, but especially for freight electric vehicles with a lot of long-distance driving, the one-time chargeable distance is an important point to purchase. In the case of two-wheel drive, the combined driving distance at room temperature is 401 km. In particular, it was certified 435 kilometers in the city center.




The low-temperature driving distance that can measure the driving distance in winter is 357 kilometers. In the case of four wheels, the combined driving distance at room temperature was 342 kilometers, down 59 kilometers from the two wheels. The low-temperature combined driving range was 297 kilometers, down 60 kilometers from the two wheels.

Battery has the same configuration as the two models. The Musso EV is equipped with an 80.6 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) blade battery that is durable and has a low fire risk. The energy density per unit area is maximized by using the Cell to Pack method, and durability and efficiency are increased by designing a battery pack that is resistant to external impact.

In addition, the next generation multi-battery safety management system (BMS) is applied to make it more safe to operate. Even while parking, check the battery condition every 10 minutes to prevent accidents. In the event of an emergency, it is automatically connected to a nearby fire station.




For the first time in Korea, it has greatly strengthened safety by introducing a function that automatically controls charging when abnormalities are detected by monitoring battery conditions such as temperature, voltage, and current in real time.

Charging (80%) is possible in 24 minutes when fast charging (200 kWh). By supporting the V2L (Vehicle to Load) function, power can be used in various environments such as camping and outdoor work. The Musso EV exhibits powerful power performance with a maximum output of 207 horsepower (ps) and a maximum torque of 34.6kgf·m through a 152.2kW front-wheel drive motor and a reducer with optimal torque tuning.

The AWD model provides dynamic driving performance with a maximum output of 413 horsepower (ps) and a maximum torque of 64.9 kgf·m. The all-wheel drive (AWD) system, which has been made with traditional pickup truck know-how for more than 30 years since Ssangyong Motor, monitors the speed of four wheels in real time and performs optimal performance in various road conditions.




The self-levelizer system keeps the rear-wheel side garage constant according to changes in loading loads. The general damper function is added to provide a more stable ride. (selectable for AWD models)

1.8 tons of toying capacity and the function 'Trailer Sway Control' will be activated upon towing. Minimize left and right shaking and control steering to help stable driving. Off-road driving capability is 19.2° approach angle, 23° deviation angle, and 187 mm minimum ground height, allowing for various rough roads.

The 2WD model is set at 48 million won to 50.5 million won, and the AWD model is set at 50.5 million won to 53 million won.2.5 million won will be added compared to the two-wheel drive. The actual purchase price is in the late 30 million won range (39.62 million won), receiving 6.52 million won more △ government subsidies than basic passenger electric vehicles and 1.86 million won in local government subsidies as of Seoul.

If small business owners receive additional support and VAT refund, their actual purchase price will be lowered to 33 million won (2WD 17-inch). As the driving distance of the AWD model is revealed, it is expected that there will be many concerns for customers with the Musso EV in mind between the efficiency log of 2WD and the powerful performance of AWD.
