India’s first electric truck: Bengaluru-based automaker Tresa Motors has introduced its first electric truck, the Model VO.1. The company claims that it is India’s first electric truck for the global market. Its axial flux motor is built on the platform: FLUX1. According to the company, there are currently 350.2 million trucks in India, which contribute 8% to the emissions. In such a situation, medium and heavy trucks with zero emissions are very much needed. With the vehicle scrappage policy coming in 60 and rising fuel prices, this is the right time to adopt medium and heavy electric trucks.
