ALBAWABA - A photo shared by RT on X (formerly Twitter) captured a steel van that mimics Tesla's Cybertruck, including the truck's unique angular design.
RT referred to the vehicle as the "Cybervan," stating further that Russian car manufacturer Russo-Balt is rolling out several Cybertruck-inspired models with 200 hp and one-hour fast charging. According to Carscoops, the Cybervan is likely based on the Weiqiao V90 cargo van, which carries a huge resemblance to Tesla's popular stainless steel truck.
Earlier in January, Carscoops reported that the van was recently spotted roaming Russia's streets. Images of the van flooded social media, capturing the uncanny similarity between Musk's truck and the Cybervan. However, the Cybervan's interior remains unknown due to the lack of photos shared on social media.
Russia unveils the Cybervan: Is it the 'Cybertruck killer?'
In addition to mimicking Tesla's unique angular design, Russia's Cybervan also features Black fender flares that wrap around the wheel arches, a long LED lightbar that stretches across the vehicle's front, and a chrome-colored stainless steel body. Moreover, the Cybervan also features black wheel rims that mimic the Cybertruck.
One of the only noticeable differences between the two vehicles is their categorization, since one is marketed as a truck, the other as a van.
Irish Journalist Chay Bowes wrote on X that the "Cybertruck killer" is expected to hit Russian streets in 2027.
