Chevrolet Silverado EV ZR2: The electric pickup that revolutionizes the off-road

Recently, Chevrolet caused a sensation among the lovers of the 4 × 4 high -performance pickups with the presentation of its concept of Silverane Career Truck EV ZR2 in the prestigious Mint 400 race.

As if that were not enough, the truck was not only exhibited, but will also compete in this legendary event, which demonstrates Chevrolet’s confidence in its electrical technology. Moreover, the Silverado EV ZR2 will be part of the Hall Racing team, joining the already known Silverado ZR2 and Colorado ZR2 racing trucks.

With this bet, Chevrolet’s participation in the MINT 400 is not only A marketing strategy, but represents an ideal testing field to test vehicles.

In this sense, the concept of Silverado EV ZR2 racing truck uses an impressive 98% of GM production pieces, which shows Chevrolet’s commitment to the creation of vehicles with a capacity greater than the necessary.

What makes Silverado EV ZR2 special?

Now, although it is a concept, the Silverado EV ZR2 However follows the same successful formula of internal combustion ZR2. That is, it has a high and tight suspension specifically for the SUV, but that does not mean that it sacrifies its road performance.

Likewise, it incorporates multimatic cushioning technology, widely recognized for its effectiveness. As if that were not enough, it includes block differentials, elements that are essential to maintain good traction in difficult land. And, for greater protection, it has non -slip protection in the bass, thus taking care of the vital components of the vehicle.

Also, the development of this racing truck was surprisingly fast, as it only took five months. Among its most outstanding characteristics are the multimatic prototype shock absorbers with continuous adaptation with adaptive reel, which provide a route of more than 13 inches on both wheels.

Along with this, the BF Goodrich KM3 Mud-Terin 37-inch tires and an electric propulsion system of three engines, which generates 1,100 HP, make more than clear that the Silverado EV ZR2 is completely worthy of carrying the ZR2 badge.

Learning and application in the real world

With extensive experience in off -road races, Chevrolet engineers will collaborate closely with the Chad Hall Racing team in order to analyze the performance and durability of the racing truck.

Therefore, the acquired knowledge will apply to both production vehicles and to Chevrolet’s high performance and accessories. In fact, currently, customers can already acquire more than 44 pieces and accessories high -performance off -road for production trucks.

Chad Hall, main pilot and owner of the Hall Racing team, pointed out that “what we learn from races applies to vehicles that consumers can buy.” Therefore, a race such as the MINT 400, according to Hall, is equivalent to “a lifetime of wear of the vehicle”, which underlines the importance of these extreme tests.

A look at the near future

Meanwhile, Chevrolet prepares to launch the Silverado Ev Trail Boss 2026 this summer, the first EV variant focused on the SUV. Specifically, the Boss Trail will have a factory elevator, 18 -inch wheels, 35 -inch off -road tires and red tow hooks. In turn, the new Terrain mode improves the maneuverability of the truck in small spaces.

With the presentation of the concept of Silverado EV ZR2 racing truck, Chevrolet shows its capacity in the field of electric vehicles and represents a step towards the future of off -road races.

Finally, as electrical technology continues to evolve, we are likely to see more electric vehicles competing and overcoming the limits of the possible in the most challenging land.
