Beginning in 2019, Volta Trucks is a newcomer in the EV truck market but has seen rapid growth in recent years. Since its inception, the OEM has constructed offices across Europe.
Electric vehicle start-up Volta Trucks announced that its first units will be manufactured at a plant in Austria under Steyr Automotive, with production set to begin in late 2022.
Steyr Automotive, which is run by former Canadian auto supplier Magna International executive Siegfried Wolf, took over the site in Steyr, Austria from Volkswagen AG unit producer MAN.
