BRITISH electric vehicle manufacturer Tevva has secured European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval (ECWVTA) for its 7.5 tonne battery-electric truck, allowing Tevva to start producing and selling in volume across the UK and Europe.
Tevva becomes the first British company to receive ECWVTA for a 7.5t electric truck and has moved quickly to get its first vehicles out to customers from their London base to Expect Distribution, Travis Perkins and Royal Mail. The company expects to sell up to 1,000 electric trucks in 2023.
Tevva founder and CEO Asher Bennett said: “We continue to ‘charge on’ and reach new milestones. By embracing both hydrogen and electric fuel sources, we can rethink the energy mix in transport, reduce strain on our electricity grid and accelerate electric truck adoption.”
