Tevva raised 57 million dollars funding. Around 3,000 e-trucks expected from 2023
First deliveries of Tevva's third-generation vehicle are scheduled from Q3 2022 to address the immediate industry need to electrify. With these funds in hand, over the coming months Tevva will complete engineering build, test and design and production line assembly and tooling.
UK-based manufacturer Tevva raised 57 million dollars funding to put electric and hydrogen trucks on the road in 2022. The company’s total funding raised this year thus reached the remarkable figure of 70 million dollars. The fundraise swiftly follows the launch of the new Tevva Truck, the first British designed 7.5-tonne electric truck with hydrogen range extender intended for mass production in the UK. As we anticipated a few weeks ago, first deliveries of Tevva’s third-generation vehicle are scheduled from Q3 2022 to address the immediate industry need to electrify. With these funds in hand, over the coming months Tevva will complete engineering build, test and design and production line assembly and tooling.
Tevva on funding and beyond. The founder’s words
«We are thrilled to have received this latest investment and excited to kick off production of our pioneering electric truck in London», said Asher Bennett, Founder and CEO of Tevva. «Following hot on the heels of COP26, this funding represents a rapid response to the latest targets and commitments. Mass production of our third-generation truck will help fleet operators take tangible action without compromising the economics of their business and, we believe, can enable ambitious government targets to be met ahead of schedule. Over the coming years we will continue to develop new electric and hydrogen truck technologies and execute our innovation roadmap to enable our vehicles to go further, whilst optimising driver experience and vehicle safety. This is a pivotal moment for our business and we welcome our new investors on board the Tevva journey, which is set to be characterised by global growth».
Tevva intends to produce 3,000 trucks per annum by 2023, creating up to 1,000 skilled jobs and propelling Britain’s electric truck revolution. According to the latest trends, the global electric truck market is expected to grow from 1.15 billion dollars in 2020 to 14.19 billion dollars by 2027. By removing typical barriers to commercial electric vehicle adoption, such as affordability and range, Tevva will play an enabling role in helping global economies meet ambitious policy goals. Tevva Trucks are expected to remove 10 million tonnes of global CO2 emissions by 2030, the equivalent of taking 1 million cars off the road.
