Volta Zero electric truck completes its road tests

Paack and Volta Trucks completed the tests in October corresponding to the beta program of the Volta Zero vehicle prototype. For example, in this phase, through an engineering program, the performance of these trucks was monitored as a design validation process.

both companies,
who have been working together since 2021, are working together on this project to decarbonise last-mile logistics. The sustainability and safety of the trucks are the two maxims of both companies and in this sense Paack is involved in the development of the functionalities and characteristics of the Volta Zero vehicles, which will be fully electric and sustainable.

This truck has been completely redesigned
be a fully electric vehicle It has a cutting-edge design, which is influenced by its innovative electric powertrain. Thus, a radically different approach can be taken when it comes to the safety of pedestrians, drivers and vehicles. In addition, the Volta Zero has a cabin that gives the driver 220 degrees of visibility, avoids blind spots and reduces accidents with cyclists and other road users.

“We are very happy to contribute to the development of safer and more sustainable city logistics together with Volta Trucks, a disruptive company in its sector. Testing with Volta Zero is a breakthrough that will enable us to accelerate our transition to an electric mid- and last mile and reach our goal of net zero emissions by 2030,” he says.
Allende Irazola, Operational Sustainability Manager at Paack.

“We are pleased to announce that our Volta Zero prototypes are being tested on the streets of Paris in the hands of leading logistics companies, such as Paack, with whom we share an interest in working together to decarbonise urban logistics. and it represents an earlier step towards the commitment to supply trucks to our customers in the near future«, explains
Essa Al-Saleh, CEO of Volta Trucks.

This project is part of Paack’s sustainability strategy, which aims for carbon neutrality in the last mile by 2024, and a 30% reduction in emissions from the half-mile compared to 2020 one year later.

In this way, Paack wants to achieve its goal of zero net CO2 emissions at organizational level by 2030. The Volta Zero vehicle for its part, with a range of up to 200 km,
a maximum speed of 90 km/h and a payload of up to 8,000 kg, is expected to become a reality in Madrid during the year 2023, after the start of series production. In this way, Volta Trucks will help make inner-city environments safer and more sustainable, reducing global environmental impact throughout the supply and production chain.
