Volta Melancarkan Lori ZERO Elektrik Penuh Di Eropah

Ini disertakan dengan pesanan 1,000 trak ZERO di Sepanyol.

Pergerakan mobiliti elektrik bermula lebih cepat dengan pemilik armada komersial yang perlu menurunkan kos operasi (kos bahan bakar menjadi salah satu masalah utama) dan keperluan untuk pelepasan yang lebih rendah di bandar-bandar yang sesak.

Malaysia masih jauh dari elektrik kerana bahan bakar di Malaysia terus diberi subsidi dan oleh itu pemilik armada tidak melihat keperluan untuk melabur dalam trak elektrik yang akan menjadi pelaburan yang mahal dalam jangka masa pendek dan faedah jangka panjang yang sangat sedikit dari segi keuntungan.

Di Eropah dan Jepun keadaannya sangat berbeza dengan kos bahan bakar yang tinggi dan bandar-bandar besar sudah menyekat kenderaan petrol memasuki pusat bandar. Kerajaan ‘memaksa’ pemilik kenderaan di bandar-bandar untuk berfikir hijau dan bertukar kepada kenderaan bertenaga bateri dan van elektrik dengan subsidi untuk pembelian baharu.

KENYATAAN MEDIA

Volta Trucks, the leading full-electric commercial vehicle manufacturer, has confirmed that the Volta Zero will make its Spanish debut as it continues its tour of important, sustainability-focused European cities. 

The touch-down in Spain follows successful French customer events, with more than 300 individual vehicle demonstrations undertaken over the past five weeks in a Covid-secure environment. 

Spanish fleet operators and customers can experience the Volta Zero, the first purpose-built full-electric large commercial vehicle designed for city centre logistics, in Madrid and Barcelona.

The presentation of the Volta Zero in Madrid, in partnership with Petit Forestier, Europe’s leading refrigerated truck rental company, follows the December 2020 announcement that Petit Forestier had purchased 1,000 Volta Zero vehicles. 

This is believed to be Europe’s biggest single purchase of large full-electric commercial vehicles and comes alongside a strategic partnership to develop a refrigerated version of the Volta Zero with Petit Forestier’s own body builder, Lecapitaine.

Business Development Manager of Volta Trucks, Carla Detrieux, said; “We were overwhelmed by the response to the Volta Zero in our recent customer events in Paris, that saw more than 300 individual vehicle demonstrations delivered over five weeks, all in a safe, Covid-secure environment. And I am delighted that we can now introduce the Volta Zero to our customers in Madrid and Barcelona too. 

Both are C40 cities, taking bold action on climate change to deliver a healthier and more sustainable future – exactly as we are aiming to achieve with the full-electric Volta Zero. I’m looking forward to introducing the Volta Zero to our Spanish customers, researching the market, and further understanding their vehicle requirements. And we are already planning the next stops of our European tour and look forward to being able to confirm more details shortly.”
