• •Telo Trucks, the company building a compact, modular electric pickup truck, revealed its new preproduction prototype in Los Angeles.
• •The company said they have over 5,000 preorders for the mini-truck, which is now known as the Telo MT1, that “represents over $250M+ in customer commitments.”
• •The front of the vehicle is still entirely flat, which helps give the truck its spectacularly short design that makes it perfect for urban environments.

Telo is targeting next winter for approval to sell its super compact EV pickup. The company said they have over 5,000 preorders for the mini-truck, which is now known as the Telo MT1, that “represents over $250M+ in customer commitments.” The EV was first revealed in 2023 and showed off a clever modular design where the truck cab can open for more bed space, or enclosed like a van. There’s also a “Monster Tunnel” storage compartment across the truck’s width where you can carry long items, similar to Rivian’s gear tunnel.
