Top Last Mile Transportation Startups

Volta Trucks
Crunchbase | Website | Twitter | Facebook | Linkedin
We’re building the first purpose-built full-electric large commercial vehicle to be manufactured for inner city freight and urban distribution. Thanks to the removal of the internal combustion engine, we’ve completely re-designed the cab experience with a driver-centric approach to make the vehicle safer for the driver and vulnerable road users around the vehicle.
The central driver position and lowered seat height optimizes the driver’s field of vision, enabling clear communication with those around the vehicle, and allows easy access on both sides through sliding doors. Sustainability is also important, but it’s more than just tailpipe emissions, with the Volta Zero being the world’s first road vehicle to use a natural flax fibre and biodegradable resin composite in exterior body panels.
In short, we want to accelerate change and reduce the impact of freight deliveries, lowering pollution and improving safety for the benefit of everyone in tomorrow’s sustainable, zero emission cities.. .
