Overview

The Alpha Wolf was revealed in March 2021 as a 3D render of a 2-door off-road pickup truck. The styling resembled the company's previously-revealed models, the ACE and JAX. [1] All of Alpha's vehicles only existed as 3D models, until Alpha Motor Corporation presented its first prototype, the WOLF electric truck, at the Petersen Automotive Museum, Los Angeles in August later that year. [2]

The WOLF+ prototype debuted at the Seoul Mobility Show in March 2023, accompanied by the WOLF. [3]

In July 2023, Alpha Motor Corporation premiered its first driving footage of the WOLF electric truck in off-road conditions across the desert in Southern California. [4]

The WOLF is estimated by Alpha Motor Corporation to have a range of over 250–275 mi (402–443 km) and a 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time of 6.2 seconds, as well as a towing capacity of 1,360 kg (3,000 lb). [5] [1]
