Telo Unveils Preproduction Model of Compact Electric Truck
The MT1 combines a Mini Cooper-sized footprint with the utility of a midsize pickup, targeting urban and eco-conscious users.
- Telo Trucks has revealed the preproduction prototype of its MT1 electric truck, which features a compact design comparable to a Mini Cooper but offers a truck bed as large as a Hummer EV's.
- The MT1 includes innovative features like a folding midgate to extend the truck bed and a 'Monster Tunnel' storage compartment for additional utility.
- The five-seater truck prioritizes space efficiency with pedestal-mounted seats that maximize interior room and a flat front design for improved urban maneuverability.
- Telo plans to begin limited production by the end of 2025, with a $41,000 starting price and over 5,000 reservations already secured.
- The company is working with contract manufacturer Aria Group and pursuing safety and durability testing as it aims for homologation next winter.
