Radar New Energy Vehicle (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd., commonly known as Radar Auto (Chinese: 雷达汽车; pinyin: Léidá qìchē) is a subsidiary of Chinese vehicle manufacturer Geely Holding. The brand solely produces electric vehicles.

Details[edit]

Radar Auto is a brand focusing on electric "lifestyle vehicles",[1] and as of 2024 offers a single product, the Radar RD6 battery electric pickup truck. In the future, Radar will launch four new cars, including an SUV, a small pickup truck, a large SUV, and an all-terrain vehicle (ATV).[2]

The company has its own research and development (R&D) facility in Hangzhou, Zhejiang and an electric vehicle production facility in Zibo, Shandong, where it manufactures the RD6.[3][4]

In overseas markets, Radar Auto will be known as Riddara due to trademark resistance from Singaporean tyre company Omni United, which has a brand called Radar Tires.[5]
