Vehicle model
VGV Gamme VGV - électrique/hybride
As part of its global expansion under Sinotruk, VGV announces an expanded energy lineup including hybrid and electric versions, alongside gasoline, diesel, and alternative fuels, depending on the targeted markets. This shift toward electrification accompanies the brand's export strategy, for example in the Middle East, where the network offers a range of powertrains. The electrified offering nevertheless remains recent and market-dependent: it is not associated with a commercial presence in North America, and the technical details by model remain limited in public sources. For a Quebec buyer, these versions are not distributed locally. On the tire side, electrified vehicles, heavier because of their batteries, place greater demands on tires; in Quebec, robust and properly sized winter tires are all the more important. Wheel diameters to be confirmed depending on the exact model.

Tire and wheel compatibility
Les VUS et pick-up VGV (U70, U75 Plus, VX7) sont des véhicules intermédiaires à grands gabarits qui utilisent généralement des jantes de 17 à 19 pouces, format courant sur ce segment. L'entraxe (bolt pattern) typique des crossovers de cette taille tourne souvent autour de 5 trous, mais il faut toujours valider la cote exacte sur le véhicule avant l'achat. Au Québec, les pneus d'hiver sont obligatoires du 1er décembre au 15 mars : pour un VUS familial de ce poids, un jeu de pneus d'hiver bien dimensionnés est essentiel pour la traction et le freinage. En cas de pièces difficiles à trouver, privilégier des dimensions standard équivalentes facilite l'approvisionnement.
