Scale model of 7.5-tonne Tevva truck tested in MIRA wind tunnel
UK – Tevva Motors Ltd of Tilbury, UK has announced it successfully completed tests of its 7.5-tonne battery-electric truck in a wind tunnel at the Nuneaton testing facilities run by Horiba MIRA.
The two-day session saw a scale model of the 7.5-tonne Tevva truck facing winds of up to 80 mph, providing data on how airflow might affect the vehicle’s range and performance. The company reportedly tried out more than 40 different configurations, finding that the addition of “aero” roof and panel components improved the drag coefficient by almost 10%. These aerodynamic add-ons can be requested by customers when ordering a Tevva truck.
