THE ZERO-EMISSION REVOLUTION IS UNDERWAY AT TEVVA AND CUSTOMERS ARE READY FOR THE RIDE
Tevva was founded in 2013 to address the challenge of range anxiety in large commercial electric vehicles and create technology solutions to decarbonise trucks . Now , Tevva is pioneering zero-emission mobility solutions , developing a range of battery-electric and hydrogen-electric medium-duty trucks that can improve air quality , lower total cost of ownership , eliminate range anxiety and improve driver and fleet operator experience .
Cottrell explains : “ Tevva has had trucks on UK roads since 2016 , including 15 range-extended electric trucks operated by UPS in Southampton and Birmingham since 2019 ,” says Cottrell . “ These vehicles have covered more than 420,000km in full-service , creating a rich data lake that has been used to inform the engineering process for the latest Tevva electric truck .”
Tevva ’ s 7.5-tonne battery-electric truck has passed all the necessary tests to obtain European Community Whole Vehicle Type Approval ( EC WVTA ), meaning Tevva is able to produce and sell in volume across Europe . “ This is the key regulatory step when it comes to developing all vehicles , including electric trucks and allows Tevva to mass produce its electric truck .”
