Tewa has secured European Community whole vehicle type approval for its 7.5-tonne battery-electric truck, which it can now sell across the UK and Europe. The certification has been achieved for the EU and UK with the Vehicle Certification Agency and the Swedish Transport Agency. To receive whole vehicle type approval, the Tewa electric truck underwent 30 system tests, including electric safety and electromagnetic compatibility. Tevva's 7.5t electric truck is said to offer up to 140 miles from its 105kWh battery on a single charge, and is suitable for last-mile and urban delivery fleets. The first mass-produced electric trucks have started to be delivered from their UK base and will be received by customers including Expect Distribution, Travis Perkins and Royal Mail. The company expects to sell up to 1,000 electric trucks in 2023. |
