Volta Trucks has begun production of the first on-road ‘Design Verification’ (DV) prototype Volta Zero vehicle at a bespoke facility in Coventry, UK. The DV prototypes are the first full-electric Volta Zero vehicles to be built in a recently unveiled production-ready design. A total of 25 vehicles will be built and after completion in January, the fleet will begin a rigorous testing regime. This will include Volta Trucks engineers who will replicate a wide range of customer use and delivery cycles, as well as take the Volta Zero to cold weather environments in the Arctic, hot weather to equatorial conditions, and crash tests, all to validate safety. Will go , durability, and reliability of the vehicle.
The results of the Comprehensive DV Testing Program will be fed into the final prototyping stage – ‘Production Verification’ (PV). The PV prototype vehicles will be built at the company’s new manufacturing plant in Steyr, Austria, in mid-2022. Many of these production-specification prototypes will be delivered to select customers for extended periods of time for testing in their real-world logistics conditions, working millions of delivery kilometers with Volta Trucks’ own engineers.

Ian Collins, Chief Product Officer, Volta Trucks, said; “In August, the first Volta Zero Rolling chassis began testing, and we’ve already extracted a huge amount of data from that vehicle. We’ve integrated that feedback into the design validation prototypes that begin production today. Now we’re fast.” Moving on to the Testing – Learning – Iterating – Development phase. This is going to be far more intensive and intensive than a typical vehicle test program, given our ambitious timeline of starting series production in a year’s time, which Driven by customer needs for zero-emissions trucks. It will take us through some of the world’s hottest, coldest and most extreme conditions, ensuring that the production specification vehicles that roll off the production line by the end of 2022 We provide the highest possible quality standards and exceed our customers’ expectations.”
