Rely could return to Brazil with the Chery Stockman, a large diesel-hybrid pickup that the company has not yet formally identified by model or brand for the market. Chery says a diesel-hybrid pickup is in its plans. The Stockman measures 5.45 meters long, with a 3.25-meter wheelbase; the Toyota Hilux is shorter at 5.32 meters and has a 3.08-meter wheelbase. The article says the Stockman would compete in that pickup segment.
The proposed powertrain pairs a 2.5-liter four-cylinder turbodiesel with an electric motor and a 34-kWh lithium iron phosphate battery. It is a plug-in hybrid system rated at 479 hp and 81.5 kgfm of torque, with up to 96 km of electric-only range. The pickup is specified to carry as much as 1,000 kg and tow up to 3,495 kg with a braked trailer.
The Rely branding may make sense because the Stockman is already sold in China under that name, potentially simplifying logistics and lowering costs. Chery’s Brazilian operations are split across several brands: Caoa has indicated that its pickup will be called Himla, while Omoda and Jaecoo operate separately in the market. The article also notes that Chery’s commercial-vehicle division first appeared in Brazil 13 years ago, offering five models including pickups and vans; its original pickup was priced at R$29,990.
