UAAGI Electrifies the Philippine EV Pickup Segment With the Launch of RADAR EV

United Asia Automotive Group, Inc. (UAAGI) sets the stage for a new era of electrified pickups in the country as the official distributor of RADAR in the Philippines.

RADAR (also known as Riddara in some markets) is a global brand owned by the Geely Auto Group that specializes in mid‑size electric and plug‑in hybrid pickups.

Around the world, RADAR is known for its electrified powertrains, sturdy build quality, and modern tech and safety appointments, making it ideal for both fleet and personal use.

“With the launch of RADAR, UAAGI not only diversifies its vehicle lineup but also contributes to the expansion of the New Energy Vehicle (NEV) market across the archipelago. We at UAAGI remain committed to meeting the evolving demands of Filipino motorists. And with the introduction of RADAR, our goal is to lead the charge in this growing segment,” says UAAGI Chairman Rommel L. Sytin.

In its country of origin, RADAR has commanded over 50% of the NEV pickup market since 2023, and continues to hold the distinction of being the #1 NEV Pick-up in China. Globally, RADAR maintains a robust market presence in several territories including the Asia-Pacific region, Eastern Europe, Middle East, Central America, and South America, underscoring the brand’s  international appeal and product competitiveness.

Now in the Philippines, RADAR is primed to establish its foothold in the fast-growing local NEV pickup segment, and enters with a clear message: “Built Electric. Built Solid.”

In line with the announcement of UAAGI’s official distributorship of RADAR in the Philippines is the brand’s launch of its flagship model, the RD6. This modern, electrified pickup is available in both EV and PHEV powertrains, with multiple configurations catering to every need and lifestyle.

The RD6 ECON boasts a carrying capacity of up to one ton, complemented by a spacious cargo box and an optional front trunk (‘frunk’), providing flexible and versatile storage solutions.
