Hi4-T Hybrid Intelligent 4WD

The Cannon Alpha PHEV features advanced technology that allows you to push the limits.

The Cannon Alpha PHEV showcases Hi4T, an advanced plug-in hybrid technology designed for exceptional efficiency, performance, and off-road capability. The intelligent design not only enhances performance but also maximises the efficiency of the hybrid system, delivering a dynamic drive that’s both powerful and refined. Our Plug-in hybrid Hi4T system runs a tried and tested Borg Warner transfer case offering low range when the going gets tough. Mechanically locking all four wheels with standard front and rear differential locks, you have the confidence the Cannon Alpha PHEV’s off-road performance will meet your expectations.

Smarter stopping. More going.

The Cannon Alpha PHEV makes every drive more efficient with intelligent energy regeneration. Its advanced brake-by-wire system captures energy that would otherwise be lost during braking, converting it back into usable electricity. With multiple levels of regenerative braking, you can choose how the vehicle slows down—while topping up your battery as you go. It’s clever tech that works hard behind the scenes to keep you moving forward.

Power on hand, wherever work, or the weekend, takes you.

The Cannon Alpha PHEV does more than just drive smarter, it powers your world. With a maximum output of 6kW and access to 37.1kWh of usable battery capacity, you’ve got electricity on tap. From running equipment on the job site to lighting up a remote campsite, this ute brings flexibility and freedom in equal measure. It’s capability that goes beyond the road—and the possibilities are only limited by your imagination.

Power when it counts.

When the road demands more, the Cannon Alpha PHEV delivers. In Parallel Hybrid mode, the petrol engine and electric motor combine to maximise performance—ideal for overtaking, off-road challenges or towing heavy loads. And even with all that extra grunt, it still keeps fuel use in check. It's powerful, capable, and impressively efficient.
