Latest Forthing News

Forthing's second model has made its in-person debut in Australia, and could become the cheapest electric and plug-in hybrid people mover on the market.

The boss of newcomer brand Forthing is backing extended-range hybrid technology for Australia, describing it as "perfect" for those interested in EVs but held back by range anxiety.

Forthing, the latest Chinese brand to arrive in Australia, is promising to quadruple its model range over the next 18 months, with an affordable EREV/EV people mover the next cab off the rank.

Chinese brand Forthing has hit back at a trademark challenge from Porsche over the name of its first model, the Taikon 5 SUV, which could be changed.

The Forthing Taikon 5 will become Australia's cheapest mid-size electric SUV and the cheapest EREV of any kind when it arrives later in June.

The Toyota RAV4-sized Forthing Taikon 5 EV and EREV SUV is arriving in showrooms later this month, offering razor-sharp pricing.
