Volta Zero Electric Truck Revealed

Volta Zero to enter production in the UK in 2022 with an initial target of 500 units a year and 5,000 a year by 2025.

Volta Trucks has unveiled today its purpose-built all-electric Volta Zero electric truck, envisioned for inner city freight distribution.

It will be equipped with 160-200 kWh batteries (LFP chemistry) for up to 150-200 km (90-125 mi) of range. The key advantage of the proprietary EV truck is its efficient packaging, which allows it to take 16 euro pallets, 8.6 tonnes of payload and volume of 37.3 m3. Not bad for a 16-tonne truck.

The company hints also at an innovative electric drive for the rear wheels, which consists of an electric motor, transmission, and axle in a single lightweight and compact e-Axle unit.
