Volta Trucks will participate in the next IAA Transportation, the key exhibition scheduled from 20 to 25 September in Hannover. The newcomer will put on display the 16-ton Volta Zero. Additionally, the distribution electric truck will be available in the test drive area.

Volta Trucks at IAA: the TaaS model

On hand will also be a number of Volta Trucks experts covering the product, the Truck as a Service (TaaS) subscription model, including vehicle charging, and experts on the subsidies and incentives available for customers transitioning to zero-tailpipe emission fleets across European markets.

“Germany is an extremely important market to Volta Trucks and the wider automotive industry”, said Volta Trucks CEO, Essa Al-Saleh. “We see significant commercial traction in Germany for the full-electric Volta Zero thanks, in part, to the progressive mindset of German fleet owners and generous subsidies and incentives from the government to motivate the transition to zero tailpipe emission trucks. I’m looking forward to meeting our customers and future prospects at the show, as well as enabling them to experience a Design Verification prototype vehicle first-hand at the event’s driving experience centre. It promises to be a significant moment for Volta Trucks, just ahead of starting real-world vehicle evaluation and trials of vehicles in customer depots later this year, and commencing production of customer vehicles soon afterwards”.
