TELO Trucks has unveiled its first pre-production vehicle, the TELO MT1, a compact electric pickup truck designed to transform urban mobility. This innovative mini truck blends advanced battery technology, top-notch safety features, and a revolutionary interior design, all tailored for city living. With over 5,000 pre-orders totaling more than $250 million in customer interest, TELO is making waves in the electric vehicle (EV) market, proving that a small startup can compete with big names.
Key Highlights
- Revolutionary Interior Design: Created by Yves Béhar, it uses eco-friendly materials like biodegradable cork and offers smart storage with the “Monster Tunnel.”
- Advanced Battery Technology: Led by CTO Forrest North, it powers the compact yet efficient TELO MT1.
- Rigorous Safety Features: Overseen by CEO Jason Marks, ensuring the truck is safe for urban and adventure use.
A Game-Changer in Electric Mobility
The TELO MT1 isn’t just another electric vehicle—it’s built for practicality and sustainability. Its interior features biodegradable cork, a lightweight, renewable material that feels luxurious while cutting environmental impact. The clever seating gives rear passengers legroom equal to a full-size pickup, balancing comfort with the truck’s small size. Plus, the “Monster Tunnel” storage system hides extra space under the bed, perfect for gear or groceries without cramping passengers.
TELO Trucks, working with Aria Group, has taken a fresh approach to EV design. By weaving together engineering, manufacturing, and a focus on user needs, they’ve crafted a mini truck that stands out. Yves Béhar, TELO’s Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer, said it best: “We designed the future of utility transportation by maximizing every inch to provide comfort without compromising performance or capability. TELO brings more features, space, and practicality than any other vehicle on the road today.”
What’s Next for TELO
TELO isn’t stopping here. The company plans to keep testing the MT1’s safety and durability, aiming to pass homologation by next winter. CEO Jason Marks shared their vision: “We’re inviting investors, partners, and customers to join us as we take the next step. TELO is proving that – in a market stuffed with legacy brands – it is possible for a mini, mighty startup to deliver on time, on budget, and with real impact.” With strong pre-order numbers and a clear plan, TELO is ready to grow.
