Hi TITA, the first Argentine electric pickup made in San Luis and sold

First is TITUSthe mini national electric car that came out of San Luis to compete Sero Electrica model made in Morón, and the inhabitants of the city of Córdoba Volt Motors. With a range of 100 kilometers and the possibility to charge it directly from any domestic socket, TITO was launched last year and pre-sale units were quickly sold out.

Now, its manufacturer, Coradir – a national company dedicated since 1995 to the development of electronic and computer equipment, system integration and software development – has just launched the first 100% electric Argentine pickup: TITAderived from the company’s founding model.

The goal of the company is position TIYA as a specific utility for tasks over long distances. He argues this in a norm with respect to other models national electrical: it offers a large cargo box for its size, which is also tipping and has folding rails on all three sides.

Measuring 3.7 meters long, 1.37 meters wide and 1.72 meters high, the TITA has a cargo space of 2 meters long, 1.37 meters wide and 350 mm deep. And, according to its manufacturer, can carry up to 500 kilos.

While in Coradir they await the latest approvals from the National Institute of Industrial Technology (INTI), its president Juan Manuel Bareto announced this month the pre-sale of TIYA. These are the first 60 units to go on the market with a price tag of 18,000 dollars, that is, $ 2,196,000 million (at the official exchange rate of $ 122 per dollar). Reservations can be made onlineas happened to TITO, on the brand’s official website.

How Tita was charged and how much it consumed

This pickup offers a 4 kW (5.4 horsepower) motor that allows it to achieve a autonomy of 100 kilometers and maximum speed of 45 km/h. The TITO impeller, for its part, reaches 4.5 kW, with a top speed of 65 km/h. In both cases, the automatic transmission allows them to be handled only with the action of the accelerator and the brake.

TITA batteries can be easily recharged from the domestic connection at a standard 220V outlet: their charging duration is between 6 to 8 hours if they are fully discharged. According to Coradir, it is advisable to charge the truck every night.

The manufacturer also estimates the amount of electricity consumed by TITA: it is calculated that if it is connected to electric current, at an average rate of $ 3.05 x kWh (like CABA), it will give a real value of $ 24.40 for every 100 kilometers traveled. “If you spend $ 10,000 per month on fuel, it will only affect you $ 1,000 more in electricity bills when recharging,” they explain from Coradir.

In addition to its intelligent charging system, inside the TITA it has an HD LED screen, radio, reversing camera, digital dashboard. As was the case with its predecessor, many of the components used for its manufacture were imported (for example, the bodywork was from China), although the company plans to replace them with parts from the domestic industry.

The low maintenance cost required by electrical mechanics is another of TITA’s pillars. Your machine does not require any kind of controls, the company recommends only perform periodic annual checks on the battery pack, brake pads and tires.

TITA is the first 100% electric utility vehicle made in Argentina, specifically intended for loading tasks. To date, Sero Electric has only thought of a utility vehicle in its four versions approved for road driving. The company located in Morón offers a model 2.5 meters long, 1.3 wide and 1.5 high with a total load capacity of 270 kilograms, with an engine with equivalent power: 4 kW.
