Nissan's New Plug-In Hybrid Pickup Is Part Of A Much Bigger China Trend

• The Nissan Navara Pro/Frontier Pro is a PHEV mid-sized pickup truck made in China.
• It's heading to markets like Mexico and Australia.
• It shows that China's export boom isn't all about Chinese brands.

Meet the Nissan Frontier Pro. On Thursday, the automaker said it's bringing this midsize plug-in hybrid pickup to global markets like Mexico and Australia. But it's more than just another electrified vehicle Americans can't have. Developed and made in China, the truck shows that the country's massive export push isn't just coming from homegrown brands like BYD and Geely.
