Trucks account for less than 4% of traffic in London, but they are involved in 70% of fatal car accidents. Carl-Magnus Norden, with no background in automotive, had a vision of a truck whose strength was security in urban centers, one which could provide a 220 degree panoramic view with lateral cameras. Interestingly, Volta Zero is a private truck with a green twist: no blind spots due to the removal of the cumbersome diesel engine, which is why traditional trucks reach heights of no less than 2 meters, but Volta Zero uses batteries located below the work environment, allowing the driver to access at ground level...

On display at Superstudio is the latest Volta Truck from Carl Magnus-Norden's Swedish Company. Volta Zero is an electric carbon-neutral truck. Its mantras? Security and design.

Trucks account for less than 4% of traffic in London, but they are involved in 70% of fatal car accidents. Carl-Magnus Norden, with no background in automotive, had a vision of a truck whose strength was security in urban centers, one which could provide a 220 degree panoramic view with lateral cameras. Interestingly, Volta Zero is a private truck with a green twist: no blind spots due to the removal of the cumbersome diesel engine, which is why traditional trucks reach heights of no less than 2 meters, but Volta Zero uses batteries located below the work environment, allowing the driver to access at ground level. Green is also the company's decision to reduce their own production footprint. This is a point in common with the world Superstudio that implemented it in the new location Superstudio Maxi, the only event space in Europe with a LEED Gold® certificate (www.at-superstudiomagazine.com).
In addition, Volta Zero means more security for the driver as he/she will not have to climb awkwardly to reach the driving area, rather going down on the steps on both sides of the vehicle. Lastly, a pleasant design with low lights and comfy interiors, and air-conditioner without a direct jet but with a gradual effusion in the cabin.
In 2023, the first 5000 trucks are expected to be on the roads of London, Paris, Madrid, Rein-Ruhr, and, from 2024, in the United States.
