Forland unveiled its new T5 minitruck line at Colombia's Salón del Automóvil, targeting logistics for small and medium businesses. The single and double cab models provide efficiency and versatility for urban deliveries and agricultural work. The brand aims to support entrepreneurs with compact vehicles featuring Euro V technology.
At the Salón del Automóvil, Forland, distributed by Motorysa, launched its T5 minitruck line, ultra-light cargo vehicles with compact designs. These trucks target medium and small businesses, ideal for transporting food, packages, pets, and goods in last-mile deliveries, as well as technical services in restricted areas.
The prelaunch featured two models: the single-cab Minitruck T5 CS priced at $66 million and the double-cab T5 DC at $70 million. Both address needs in agricultural work, urban distribution, crew movement, and general logistics.
Andrés Pérez Duque, general manager of commercial vehicles at Motorysa, stated: “With the arrival of the Minitrucks line to the national market, we are committed to continuing to support Colombian businesses; the Forland minitrucks are efficient for the national market due to their technical features in displacement, torque, power, size, load capacity, and emissions technology, leading their segment with Euro V emissions standards”.
The T5 CS has front disc and rear drum hydraulic brakes, a 110 HP 1,600 cc gasoline engine, 156 Nm torque at 4,400 rpm, gross vehicle weight of 2,795 kg, payload of 1,655 kg, wheelbase of 3.3 meters, and a five-speed manual transmission. The T5 DC shares similar specs but with a 1,465 kg payload and 2.6-meter wheelbase.
Carolina Rodríguez, Forland's marketing manager, added: “Forland continues to bet on the Colombian market with quality products designed so that local businesses achieve the necessary success and efficiency”.
