Sweden - Volta Trucks, a specialist start-up looking to manufacture electric commercial vehicles for the medium-duty delivery segment, took a step further to these ambitions last month with its announcement of its first running prototype chassis of the Volta Zero.
The first running Volta Zero prototype chassis has been designed and built using the proposed production specification frame and drivetrain components of the finished vehicle. This includes the high-voltage battery supplied by Proterra, and the compact eAxle – the integrated rear axle, electric motor and transmission unit, from Meritor.
