Cross Hub

-



Japanese automaker Yamaha which is known for producing motorcycles has unveiled a pickup truck concept called as the Cross Hub at the 2017 Tokyo Motor Show.

The overall design of the Yamaha Cross Hub is funky and it is a utility vehicle with a cargo bed at the rear. The company has also loaded the pickup truck with bikes to demonstrate that it is a perfect weekend getaway vehicle.


 The front fascia of the Cross Hub concept is quirky with the plastic body cladding running through the wheel arches to the nose of the vehicle. The faux skid plates give the pickup truck a rugged look. Apart from that, the Cross Hub features sleek LED daytime running lights.


 The concept pickup truck features a raised suspension setup which suggests that the vehicle is capable doing a bit of off-roading. The Cross Hub is shod with chunky Falken tyres. The ground clearance is decent enough to handle the rough stuff.



The Cross Hub concept gets a central driving position and it is equipped with four seats arranged in a diamond configuration. There is no word on the involvement of Gordon Murray, but the central driving position hints that the McLaren F1 designer might be involved in the project.





 The rear section of the concept pickup truck gets a cargo deck which is further structurally separated from the cab as compared to the normal pickup trucks. The cargo bed is spacious enough to hold a motorcycle for those weekend getaways. Yamaha has not revealed the technical specifications of the Cross Hub.
