TELO Teams Up with Aria Group to Send First Electric Mini-Trucks into Driveway Nirvana
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s the latest wonder on four wheels—the TELO Truck. But what's all the buzz about? Grab your popcorn, folks, because TELO has teamed up with the legendary Aria Group to build their first ever fully-functional electric mini-trucks.
A Match Made in EV Heaven
In the world of electric vehicles, TELO Trucks and Aria Group joining hands is akin to a superhero team-up. Imagine Batman and Robin but with less spandex and more charging ports. TELO, fresh off its one-year anniversary and an impressive $5.4M funding round, needed a partner to bring its innovative vision to life. Enter Aria Group, a company that’s no stranger to the fast lane.
Aria Group has been turning heads and wheels in automotive, aerospace, and even entertainment. Their portfolio reads like a who’s who of high-tech and high-speed. What's more, Marc Tarpenning, the fairy godfather of EVs and co-founder of Tesla, has joined TELO's Board, adding that extra dash of EV magic to the mix.
Why TELO Trucks are the Perfect City Companions
Now, you might be wondering, why all this hullabaloo over a mini-truck? That's where TELO Trucks come into play. Here’s what makes these compact marvels stand out:
- Size: Combine the compact agility of a MINI Cooper with the utility of a Toyota Tacoma.
- Technology: Equipped with cutting-edge safety and driving tech, making city driving a breeze.
- Battery Life: A fast-charge, long-range 350-mile battery ensures you're always ready for the next adventure.
Compact, efficient, and undeniably clever—these trucks are redefining how urbanites think about utility vehicles.
The TELO-Aria Recipe for Success
The magic behind TELO and Aria’s partnership isn't some secret sauce; it's a blend of experience, innovation, and a pinch of audacity.
1. Rapid Prototyping
Aria Group's extensive history in prototyping for industry giants provides TELO with a leg up—or in this case, a wheel up. This isn’t just about making prototypes; it’s about creating finely-tuned, ready-to-roll, fully-functional vehicles. And it's happening in California, the cradle of innovation.
2. Innovative Design
TELO Trucks are the textbook definition of urban-friendly automotive design. At 152 inches long (yes, they made the pre-order price hilariously match the length in inches), they fit neatly in a world designed for compact living. Think of them as eco-friendly Jeeves ready to navigate the tricky terrain of city parking and narrow streets.
✨ Time for Some Number Crunching
To appreciate the scale of this operation, let's break it down in numbers:
- Funding: $5.4M secured.
- Pre-orders: Over 3,000 nationwide.
- Vehicle Length: 152 inches of pure genius.
Numbers don’t lie, and these figures spell out a looming success story. These trucks will soon be the Tesla of tiny tots, the Maserati of mini-machines.
Meet the Big Brains Behind the Little Trucks
TELO Trucks didn't just fall from the sky like an automotive gift from Zeus; they were meticulously designed by an A-team comprising Jason Marks, Forrest North, and Yves Béhar. As the TELO Truck gears up for production, Forrest North boasts about Aria's unparalleled craftsmanship, and we can't help but agree.
Clive Hawkins, president and founder of Aria Group, chimed in saying, “Our out-of-the-box approach is perfectly suited for TELO’s ultra-advanced automotive design and EV electrification engineering approach.”
