Volta marches on Germany!

Business development director of Volta Trucks, Carla Detrieux, says she is delighted at the customer reception that the Volta Zero has received across Europe. “Its zero-emission full-electric powertrain supports our customers’ decarbonisation and sustainability ambitions, and our ground-up approach to design without the legacy constraints of the internal combustion engine helps us deliver a safer and more comfortable working environment for drivers. When combined with our truck as a service offer, fleet operators can deliver safety, sustainability, and profitability in their operations. I’m looking forward to introducing the Volta Zero to our German customers and showing them how it can seamlessly integrate into their operations.”

The Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built full-electric 16-tonne vehicle designed for inner-city logistics, reducing the environmental impact of freight deliveries in city centres. Designed from the ground up with an operating pure-electric range of 150 to 200 km, the Volta Zero will eliminate an estimated 1,2M tonnes of CO₂ by 2025. The prototype Volta Zero was launched in September 2020, with the first vehicles expected to be operating with customers in late 2021.
