Based in London, Volta Trucks is a commercial electric truck that provides “trucks as a service” (TaaS). Since its founding in 2019, the company has been dedicated to designing and building its first commercial truck: the Volta Zero. This vehicle started as a simple idea, but has since evolved into a complex reality.
The Zero, Volta's 16-ton electric truck, is the first of four new variants set to be launched by 2025. In the meantime, Volta is focused on achieving large-scale production of its flagship model, while also providing information on its progress.
Last fall, Volta Zero electric truck prototypes were tested in incredibly high temperatures, and soon after, we received news that the first Zero had been assembled overseas. This marked the start of the final phase before the start of commercial production of this 16-ton model!
