A young startup EV called Telo Trucks has announced an association with the solar developer EV APTRA to use the sustainable generation of the latter in its flagship vehicle, compact MT1 collection. Customers who prevent a Telo Electric truck will be able to 3 Aptera Sun panel configurations, helping to build the diversity of vehicles while reducing the dependence of the network, provided that those bevs are manufactured.
TELO Trucks was founded by three gentlemen with various backgrounds in automotive technologies and creative design, including autonomy and ADAS at National Instruments and Roadster development during Tesla’s early days.
The Startup presented its compact MT1 MT1 Electric Collection truck in June 2023, which seems an exciting training in the optimization of the area. The MT1 has the capacity of the bed and the cabin of the equipment of a truck in an impressive duration of the 152 -inch vehicle. As you can see in the Telo symbol, then, the MT1 offers the same internal cabin area and the same duration of the bed as a Toyota Tacoma in the printing of a mini-caroper.
Since its inauguration, Telo has known that it has collected more than 4,550 anticipations of the MT1, which must recently be taken in single and double motor configurations, and the option for a long range battery that promises more than 350 rank of miles.
Soon, Telo will offer the first consumers more characteristics in their truck configurator: the engines’s sun panels will.
Aptera shared a blog article that describes the main points of his new collaboration with these trucks, which comes to integrate sun panels from VARI configurations in the MT1 that remain in progression at this stage. The association will allow Telo to offer consumers of early orders. The option to add 3 Sun Panel Kits will be to configure your truck:
A little great. As complicated as the giant truck market (full size) went to BEV, I think this small truck market would deploy as crazy. There are many (I mean many other people who place a bed of truck in their hand and can use it often, but do not want or want a red fuel red truck for that. And no, Canyon / Colorado, Ranger and Tacoma are not small trucks. In addition, they only obtain mpg marginally larger than a full -size MPG, if applicable.
Aptera says that the solar panels of its owner can generate up to two hundred watts when exposed to sunlight, resulting in approximately 1 to 2 kWh of power without sun consistent with the day, depending on the location of the vehicle and the given season . This news of association follows the good fortune of the solar startup EV in CES 2025 in Las Vegas, while continuing to run in the hope of achieving the production of Sev on a scale.
Although the flake of SUN EV of Aptera is decreasing on the progression path that in the Telo truck, the two review to open a new path in sustainable mobility and have combined with the hope of proceeding that the climbs are fighting in combination OK. -PDG and CO-PDG Steve Fambro:
Our exclusive design of curved solar cells in fact the best application to boost more than ever utility. With Telo, we exploit the strength of the sun so that the life of the network is a truth for everyone by sunbathing the paintings for them.
Telo and Aptera shared that the characteristics of 3 Sun panels described above will be in advance orders for MT1 trucks at the end of this year. Telo says that his first prototype trucks performed completely are now assembled through the ARIA group, so I hope we can approve the representation and see soon the intentional SUN Electrical trucks that attempt intelligent production. The co -founder and CEO of Telo, Jason Marks, also spoke:
If buyers are for a suburban vehicle, a safer and more durable option to meet their family’s wishes, a physically powerful and reliable truck for outdoor adventure or a highly functional fleet and vehicle that accumulates the power of Your company, Telo. It is still a first automotive option in elegance to meet the many desires of car buyers.
At the moment, electronic books can an MT1 telo for $ 152, a wink to the general duration of the truncated selection.
