The electric truck manufacturer employed about 850 people all over Europe, 600 of which used to work in the UK.

According to Sky News, former Volta Trucks investor Luxor Capital Group "is in advanced talks with the company's administrators to buy it in a deal which could salvage hundreds of jobs", not only in Great Britain.

It all started from the crisis involving Proterra, a U.S. battery supplier, which in turn had to open the same bankruptcy proceedings in recent months. The stop in supplies had an obviously unsustainable impact on Volta Trucks and its investors. Almost 1,000 people were working at Volta Trucks all o...

Paneltex boasts thirty years of engineering expertise and a comprehensive portfolio of manufacturing techniques and top-quality products to the venture, producing thousands of vehicle bodies, vehicle body kits, and portable cold stores a year out of six specialised factories across the UK.

The supply agreement follows a project in which Carrier Transicold engineers worked closely with the Volta Trucks development team to integrate engineless ‘Iceland’ all-electric refrigeration systems and PowerBox technology into the new Volta Zero.

According to the plans, Volta Trucks will initially introduce a Pilot Fleet of 100 Class 7 trucks in mid-2023 that will be evaluated by US customers, starting in Los Angeles in mid-2023, with additional cities to follow, ahead of a roll out of production vehicles in 2024. Smaller variants will follo...

The 7.5- and 12-ton vehicles will be visually identical at the front, with the 12-ton vehicle having a longer chassis and body, and second set of rear wheels and tyres, to accommodate the increased vehicle payload. Series production due to commence in early 2025.

Thanks to HERE Navigation, the drivers of the Volta Zero trucks will be able to use innovative geolocation technology, what3words. The latter is a simple way to identify a location in a manner that is more precise than a street address.

According to the company's strategy, the 7.5- and 12-tonne vehicles will fulfil a different use case to the existing 16-tonne Volta Zero, with the 7.5-tonne vehicle, as an example, able to operate on Sundays in a number of European territories where larger vehicles are currently excluded.
