The partnership looks to bring together Volta Trucks’ solution to commercial vehicle fleet electrification and operational expertise through its Truck-as-a-Service offer and Siemens’ global experience in electric vehicle support solutions. This includes software control systems, facility electrification, charging infrastructure, energy management, building equipment and project finance.
The partnership will seek to support Volta Trucks’ customers by providing infrastructure for full electrification aligned with their operational needs.
Volta says its Volta Zero is the world’s first purpose-built, full-electric 16-tonne commercial vehicle designed for urban distribution, and to deliver safer and more sustainable cities. The truck has been designed from the ground-up as a full electric vehicle.
The company adds that its zero-tailpipe emission electric drivetrain enables it to take an innovative, safety-first approach to cabin design, providing visibility for its driver, and enhancing safety for other road users, making it suited to operating within city centre environments.
