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.
