MONTX P10 and V10: GAC’s New Vision for Adventure Mobility

Some concepts are memorable because they are fast, beautiful or technically extreme. MONTX has chosen a more interesting question: what if one vehicle could follow you from work into the wilderness, and keep making sense once the road ends?

That is the idea behind the two concepts from MONTX, the new mobility brand launched by GAC Commercial Vehicle: the P10, a modular off-road pickup imagined as a ground-and-air exploration platform, and the V10, a boxy mobile station designed around work, rest and life away from home. Both made their global debut at Auto China 2026; they appeared again in Europe at IAA Transportation in Hannover in September.

Let me be clear from the start: these are concepts. MONTX has described systems and scenarios, but has not published production specifications, range, output, pricing or a market launch date for either vehicle. I am interested in the ambition here precisely as a design proposition—not as a promise that every feature is already road-ready.

MONTX P10: a pickup with its eyes on the sky

The P10 begins with a familiar, useful form: a substantial all-terrain pickup. Then it asks the pickup bed to do more than carry luggage. MONTX imagines it as a modular base for field work, filming, research, camping and mobile command, with a small eVTOL aircraft carried above the load area for scouting or access beyond difficult terrain.

That image is a little outrageous, and I mean that as a compliment. The P10 does not treat the drone as a gadget bolted onto a truck for a launch-film moment; it makes the relationship between ground vehicle and aircraft the whole point. Whether that idea becomes practical will depend on details still missing—payload, aircraft capability, storage, charging, regulation and, above all, what the vehicle can actually do in production.

The design supports the same expedition brief. MONTX describes a reinforced, armour-like exterior, raised protection and long-travel off-road hardware. Its September IAA announcement specifies four distributed drive motors and a chassis torque-vectoring system. The company also talks about terrain sensing, adaptive suspension and an “AI Camp Mode”; these remain manufacturer-stated concept features, rather than independently verified production functions.

What I like most is the clarity of the silhouette. It looks less like a lifestyle accessory and more like a machine with a job to do. The proportions, exposed equipment and hard-edged surfaces tell you what kind of world MONTX wants this pickup to inhabit before you read a line of copy.

MONTX V10: a mobile room, not another camper van

The V10 takes the opposite route. Its upright, geometric body is conceived as a compact base for digital nomads, creators and travellers: part vehicle, part mobile office, part lounge and sleeping space. The visual language is industrial and deliberately square, but the story is about what happens when the vehicle is parked.

Its signature gesture is a “Quad-Opening Tailgate”: the lower panel folds down into a platform, side sections open outward and the upper section lifts overhead. MONTX imagines this as a way to turn the back of the vehicle into a sheltered threshold between cabin and landscape. It is a more spatial idea than a conventional tailgate trick, and in the renderings it gives the V10 a strong sense of theatre.

Inside, the company proposes a three-zone layout for driving and command, work and living, then storage and support. A modular interior is meant to switch between desk, social space and bed. The left-to-right sliding steering wheel—described on MONTX’s official product page as part of its “Dual-Command Smart Cabin”—would also let the cabin change to suit different driving markets, then move aside when parked.

Again, the interesting part is the intention. A camper usually starts with a vehicle and adds a bed. The V10 starts by treating the interior as a system that can reorganise itself around different parts of a day. That is a better design question—and, if MONTX ever brings it to market, a much harder engineering one.

Two concepts, one larger bet

MONTX sits within GAC Commercial Vehicle, a new-energy commercial-vehicle business in the GAC Group. The brand’s pitch is to bridge commercial and passenger use, and its two concepts make that strategy tangible: the P10 extends the working pickup into exploration; the V10 turns a utility-shaped vehicle into a configurable place to live.

At IAA Transportation 2026, MONTX also presented its All-Domain Adaptive Architecture and introduced MONTX Makers, a global co-creation programme. That suggests the concepts are doing more than filling a motor-show stand: they are the opening language of a brand trying to define a new product territory before defining a conventional model range.

My feeling is that the P10 is the more instantly arresting object, because it dares to put an aircraft in the bed of a pickup. The V10 may be the more persuasive proposition. We already understand the desire to carry work, sleep and a little autonomy with us; the challenge is making that life-on-the-move idea feel genuinely usable rather than merely picturesque.

MONTX has not yet answered the practical questions that matter—what is powered, how far it goes, what it weighs, what it costs, or when a production vehicle might follow. But it has made its first move with two images that are hard to confuse with anything else. For a new mobility brand, that is a pretty good way to begin.
