Volta Trucks has confirmed the start of production of its Volta Zero electric truck, which is taking place at Steyr Automotive in Steyr, Austria.

The first series of vehicles has entered the production line, according to the company. The initial batch of vehicles will be used in the Volta Zero Driving Experience Program. This test drive program is expected to allow fleet operators to understand how the production-specification EV medium-duty truck will integrate into their operations. The first trucks are expected to be available in Q3 2023.

“The first full-production EV Volta Zero is the most substantial milestone the company has achieved to date,” Volta Trucks co-founder Kjell Walöen said. “In just 2.5 years, we have moved from launching a concept, through the engineering, development and quality phases and now the start of production of the final specification models that will be driven by customers.”
