Though we are in the nascent stage, prevailing signs show that Europe is crazy for electric vehicles. While normal trucks are still a common sight on the roads, there is a decline in the same. What’s striking is that European automobile makers are quickly adapting the trend and are coming up with electric trucks.

In the near future, electric trucks and vans are likely to be common as these will provide numerous benefits. Firstly, businesses and fleet managers can reduce their operating costs. The other benefit is that these reduce the overall CO2 emissions and the harmful effects of the same caused to the environment.

Electric trucks are the third chapter of electrified vehicles as the concept trails behind the electric card and electric buses. Talking about truck electrification, there are clear signs of development in this industry as EU lawmakers reached a deal on truck CO2 emission standards and set a zero-emission truck sales target. And, truckmakers have acknowledged that truck electrification might become mainstream sooner than anticipated.

Last month, Tesla launched its electric truck Tesla Semi in Europe and started taking reservations for the same, albeit in select countries such as the UK, Norway, and the Netherlands. While all eyes are on the high-anticipated Tesla Semi, a handful of electric struck startups in Europe are zooming up at full speed to bring their electric truck offerings to the European roads. Also, big automobile brands such as Mercedes-Benz, Renault, and Volvo among others are also bringing their fully electric trucks to customers. Here we list the other electric trucks available in Europe right now.

Volta Trucks (Stockholm)

Founders: Carl-Magnus Norden

Volta Trucks are designed with a driver-centric approach. The bulky diesel engine underneath the driver seat has been replaced by battery packs. The cabin of the truck is designed in a unique way, where it has been lowered similar to a bus, thereby having no necessity for jumping or climbing. There are sensors and cameras all around the truck to avoid blind spots. The lowered cab and reduced vibration give a better driving experience. Moreover, the future-proof Volta truck zero CO2 emissions as it is 100% electric.
