Volta Zero rolls off production line23 September 2022

Volta Trucks has manufactured its first Volta Zero vehicle at its facility in Steyr, Austria, which will form part of a pilot fleet.

The vehicle is the first in a series of production verification prototypes that Volta will loan to fleet operators in late 2022 and 2023 to help them understand how the vehicle will integrate into their operations. The start of series production of customer specification vehicles is on track to start in early 2023.

Volta’s contract manufacturing facility is run by Steyr Automotive, formerly Man Truck and Bus Austria, following an agreement last August.

Steyr has reserved a capacity of 14,000 vehicles per year for Volta from its total available production. Over time, manufacturing the Volta Zero will create 510 jobs, plus 180 jobs in the building of the cargo boxes, in addition to an estimated 2,000 positions within the supply chain. The manufacturing contract has a value of up to €1 billion over its lifetime.
