The first Volta Zero, the world’s first purpose-built full-electric 16-tonne commercial vehicle with a centrally low-mounted seat giving the driver 220 degrees of visibility to optimise pedestrian and cyclist safety, has been delivered.
Volta Trucks’ partners, Prodrive, Astheimer and Magtec, are all British companies and it is Volta Trucks’ intention to manufacture the production vehicles in the UK, with pilot vehicle trials set to begin in the first half of next year.
The Volta Zero follows Prodrive’s recent work with Ford to create the world’s first plug-in hybrid Transit van, which went into full production at the end of 2019.
