Volta Trucks' Director of Business Development Carla Detrieux masterfully flips the script on Paul Kirby and John Curtis, transforming a standard interview into a mutual exploration of authenticity and purpose. Known to her family as "Vegeta" for her passionate temperament (after the Dragon Ball Z character), Carla shares her journey from hospitality to EV innovation, including the dramatic moment of announcing Volta's previous slip into administration at the UN. The conversation weaves between professional challenges and personal revelations, with all three participants opening up about their struggles, hopes, and what makes a "good person." Through Carla's skilled conversational judo, what begins as an interview evolves into a three-way dialogue about vulnerability, neurodiversity, and driving positive change in both the EV industry and society.

In this episode we are celebrating the career to date of Duncan Forrester.Duncan is a globally experienced Chief Marketing and Communications Officer and consultant who's worked with many of the automotive industry's most famous brands. He cut his teeth at BMW and Volvo in the UK, before being appointed as the global head of Product and Brand Communication for Volvo Cars in Sweden, soon after the Geely acquisition, and relaunching the Volvo brand with the then all-new XC90 and the other models that followed. He then spent a period of time running Corporate Communications for McLaren Automotive in Woking before the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be part of a small team launching an entirely new and innovative car company – Polestar. With that unique experience, he started the first communication consultancy specifically supporting start-up and electric vehicle brands, initially creating the PR and Communications function for INEOS Automotive and their Grenadier, and then as Chief Communications Officer for Volta Trucks. And more recently in the same role for Automobili Pininfarina, with their all-electric Battista hypercar – one of the fastest and most powerful road cars ever built. And he's now working with the electrification of the vast Ultra Class mining haul trucks, so he really has worked on the decarbonisation of vehicles at every end of the automotive spectrum.In our conversation we talk about how he knew from an early age that he wanted to get into the automotive industry and he demonstrated great effort and persistence to make that happen.When opportunities arose, he had his own north star which helped him to decline some that weren't aligned.As a result he has amassed a significant amount of experience in the specialised field of launching startup EV brands.Paul Flitter and Paul Kirby had both mentioned Duncan in their recent episodes, highlighting what a supportive mentor he is. I was delighted to get the opportunity to get to know him myself through this conversation and to be able to share his story and experience with you.Connect with DuncanLinkedIn Profile WebsiteAbout AndyI'm an experienced business leader and a passionate developer of people in the automotive finance industry, internationally.During over twenty five years, I have played a key role in developing businesses including Alphabet UK, BMW Corporate Finance UK, BMW Financial Services Singapore, BMW Financial Services New Zealand and Tesla Financial Services UK.At the same time, I have coached individuals and delivered leadership development programmes in 17 countries across Asia, Europe and North America.I started Aquilae in 2016 to enable “Fulfilling Performance” in the mobility industry, internationally.Learn more about Fulfilling PerformanceCheck out Release the handbrake!

Neue Woche, neue Themen, die Pascal und Yannick bewegen. Pascal hat sich abermals zur Entwicklung des CIO in den letzten Jahren Gedanken gemacht und kommt zu dem Schluss: Die IT-Chefs der Autobranche treiben mit ihren agilen Teams und dem Digitalisierungs-Knowhow längst das Business und prägen neue Geschäftsmodelle maßgeblich mit – und das parallel zur aufwändigen Modernisierung der IT-Landschaften. Yannick macht sich derweil Sorgen über die hiesigen Fortschritte bei der Elektromobilität: Der Autogipfel im Kanzleramt hat erneut gezeigt, dass die Bundesrepublik noch ein ganzes Stück davon entfernt ist, im Jahr 2030 15 Millionen E-Autos auf ihren Straßen zu beherbergen. Welche Stellhebel gibt es, um endlich (E-)Fahrt aufzunehmen?

Kraschade Volta Trucks medgrundare Carl-Magnus Norden hamnade i chock när ägarna drog sig ur i sista minuten. I veckans avsnitt av Digitalpodden diskuteras om AB Volvos köp av batteritillverkaren Proterra kan bli räddningen för verksamhetens framtid.

CALLS FOR RULES OF ORIGIN AGREEMENT STRENGTHENEDThe Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders has reinforced its call for an agreement to be reached between the EU and UK over rules of origin delay.

Över 4 miljarder kronor går upp i rök efter att den svenska ellastbilstillverkaren Volta Trucks gått i konkurs, just före sin planerade produktionsstart. Försökte bolaget byta bort sin krisande batterileverantör och kommer spillrorna att plockas upp av någon annan aktör? Det är frågor som Di Digitals reportrar Johannes Karlsson och Marianne Agazzi ställer sig. Om Volta Trucks åkte på en soppatorsk har branschkollegan Einride till synes lagt i handbromsen. Bolaget är nu på väg att fylla på sin kassa igen, inte ens ett år efter att man tagit in 5 miljarder kronor i lån och kapital från sina ägare. Hur mycket pengar bränner företaget egentligen och när ska kundavtalen börja generera intäkter?

Volta Trucks is driving the transition with its re-imagined, superior product and its “Truck as a Service” solution which seeks to de-risk the transition for fleet operators.He previously spent more than two decades at Agility Global Integrated Logistics in Baar, Switzerland, where he was appointed president and CEO in 2007. During his time at Agility, he transformed the company from a 300-person, single-country operation into one of the top ten global logistics businesses, operating in over 100 countries, employing more than 18,000 people, and with over $4 billion in revenues. HIGHLIGHTS03:05 Essa's journey with Agility Global Integrated Logistics06:28 Advice for leaders in logistics when dealing with crisis moments11:34 On building culture and "punching above your weight"21:22 What the banning of diesel engine trucks in Paris would mean for fleet operators26:55 Opportunities in the North American market34:03 Understanding the challenge of transitioning to an electric fleet QUOTES13:46 The elements that allow you to "punch above your weight" - Essa: "We want everybody in the organization and find ways to make everybody in the organization feel empowered to make the right decision, not be afraid to make the decision, and if they do make a mistake they own up to that mistake and learn from it. That's an empowerment opportunity."38:56 Utilizing fleet management services in their platform - Ninaad: "Most of what we have seen up until now is there is a truck mount solution that is running a Zebra Terminal Insight in there using LTE or 5G, communicating through a software that does not really communicate with the truck other than the GPS information. Now, the truck itself starts becoming a device that gives you the information in real-time." Find out more about Essa in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/essa-al-saleh-122b821/Website: https://voltatrucks.com/

Ian Kastner, Business Development Manager für Volta Trucks in Deutschland, hat sich in dieser Folge des Elektroauto-News.net Podcast mit mir über das schwedische E-LKW Start-Up unterhalten. 2019 in Schweden von Carl-Magnus Norden gegründet wolle man Nachhaltigkeit auf die letzte Meile bringen. Bewusst habe man sich zunächst auf eine Lücke im urbanen Umfeld entschieden. Der Volta Zero, das erste Modell der Schweden, kommt als 16 Tonner daher und setzt sich somit in die Lücke zwischen klassischem Sprinter und Schwerlast-LKW. Zuletzt konnte durch eine mehrere hundert Millionen schwere Finanzierungsrunde die Basis gelegt werden, um alle technische und geschäftliche Aktivitäten des Unternehmens bis zum Beginn der Serienproduktion des vollelektrischen 16-Tonnen-Fahrzeugs Volta Zero Ende 2022 zu finanzieren. Wie Ian im Gespräch zu verstehen gibt, sei einer der nächsten Meilensteine die Fertigstellung einer Flotte von Prototypen zur Designverifizierung für die technische Entwicklung und Erprobung sowie einer Flotte von Fahrzeugen zur Produktverifizierung, die Mitte 2022 von Kunden in London und Paris getestet werden sollen. Des Weiteren würden die 230 Millionen ausreichen um die Entwicklung der kürzlich bestätigten vollelektrischen 7,5- und 12-Tonnen-Derivate des Volta Zero zu sichern. Sowie, um die Auftragsfertigungsstätte des Unternehmens in Steyr, Österreich, darauf vorbereiten, die Produktion von Kundenfahrzeugen bis Ende des Jahres aufzunehmen. Wie der Business Development Manager von Volta Trucks im Podcast ausführt sollen bereits 2023 5.000 Einheiten des Volta Zero vom Band laufen. Im Folgejahr 2024 blickt man bereits auf 14.000 E-Trucks, gefolgt von 27.000 Einheiten im Jahr 2025. Geplant ist, dass das Unternehmen zu diesem Zeitpunkt sowohl in Europa als auch in den USA tätig sein wird und ein Portfolio von vier Volta Zero-Modellen in Produktion haben, darunter 7,5-, 12-, 16- und 18-Tonnen-Varianten. Mehr dazu in der Folge. Viel Freude damit!

It was great visiting an industrial city of the might of Västerås and entering ABB's historical areas and buildings. This city had, in my mind, been a robotic city for a long time. Peter Löfgren, CEO Synerleap corrected me: it is even more significant - we are part of the Electrification Valley. And Peter started this off with the essence of this discussion: “How to leverage innovation and value creation through an innovation ecosystem.”To innovate, passion is crucial, and this can be seen in the team of Synerleap. And they have been part of the journey for some unicorns and soonicorns (Northvolt, Einride, Volta Trucks…), so clearly, there is some “magic” happening here. To make an impact, we need to pair corporates with startups. This is a natural role for innovation ecosystems if you make it work properly and make all parties winners.ROCSOLE is also a member of the family, and we are together with Synerleap exploring the avenues in how to build synergies with corporates…Peter and his team are determined to make it happen. Get into action!Peter gives examples of how startups have had successes and how it has helped ABB to improve - here you can get the win-win proven.(Unfortunately, I wanted to make this to a YouTube version, but I struggled with the video/wifi this time. Technology…). Also - the pandemic has put face-to-face meetings on hold; I was the first startup member to visit the Synerleap since the pandemic! I hope there are many more visits, projects coming up for us and other startups. Collaboration is key to making an impact with innovation. Synerleap is also onboarding more industrial corporate partners.So if you are an entrepreneur, startup company, or corporate innovator - get in touch with Synerleap, to see if you jointly can unlock some potential! Thanks to Camilla, Martin and Peter. Looking forward to the continuation!/Mika This is a public episode.

Volta Trucks — the Swedish electric vehicle startup that believes it can build better urban delivery vehicles and other trucks that are safer and take up a smaller carbon footprint than their gas-guzzling, more clumsy, existing counterparts.

VOLTA TRUCKS RAISES $260 MILLION TO FUND ELECTRIC VEHICLE LAUNCH | REUTERS - Volta Trucks said on Friday that it had raised 230 million euros ($260 million) in Series C funding round, which will finance it through the launch of series production of its Volta Zero electric truck in late 2022. - Stockholm-based Volta Trucks, which also operates in the UK, said that the funding round was led by hedge fund Luxor Capital, which had previously invested in Volta Trucks. - Protoypes of the Volta Zero, a 16-tonne fully-electric truck, will be delivered to customers in mid-2022, with series production due to start in late 2022. - The company said its order book now exceeds 5,000 vehicles with a value of 1.2 billion euros.

We'll cut to the chase and focus on 2024, which is looking rather busy. No fewer than four Renault-badged electric models will be out that year, including the revival of the iconic R4 and R5, another Renault EV, and a van. Already teased, that Alpine with a rear wing will serve as a hot hatch version of the reborn Renault 5. - More important for those interested in affordable electric mobility is the Dacia EV also coming in 2024. It's destined to replace the popular Spring.

First, we saw the Macan rival sliding about in the slow, as the Italian carmaker conducted cold-weather testing. Just recently, the Italian brand let the compact SUV loose on the streets of Modena, covered in graphics teasing information about the vehicle. - But now a recent report claims the luxury brand may go one step further, with the all-electric Grecale Folgore (Italian for lightning). As per Australian publication drive, the Italian SUV could offer as much as 670 horsepower courtesy of dual electric motors. - The uncovered report notes a battery-powered Grecale will be launched for the 2023 model year. With the conventional derivative preparing for its reveal next month, it's possible that the electric sibling may be a part of the unveiling. Information suggests the Folgore will utilize two electric motors on either axle, for a combined output of 670 hp. This would make the compact SUV the most powerful production Maserati ever produced, pipping the 580-hp Quattroporte Trofeo.

It's a totally free marketplace that simplifies the buying and selling process, and help you learn about EVs along the way too. REPORT: NIO TO ENTER GERMANY Q4 2022 Matthias Schmidt @auto_schmidt "China's electric car manufacturer, Nio, will enter the German market from Q4 2022, their European spokesperson confirms" AUDI EVS CLOSE TO SAME PROFIT MARGINS AS COMBUSTION "Audi, which accounted for more than a quarter of Volkswagen's first-half operating profit, has embarked on an ambitious shift towards battery-powered vehicles, meaning all new models it will release from 2026 will be fully electric." says Reuters: "Meantime, production of internal combustion engines will be gradually phased out up to 2033. Audi's CFO in August said it would only take 2-3 years before profitability of electric vehicles (EV) would match that of combustion engine cars. [Markus] Duesmann thinks this could happen even more quickly." according to the Audi Chief Executive: "Apart from efforts to challenge Tesla (TSLA.O) and become the biggest seller of EVs, Volkswagen, the world's No.2 carmaker, is also doubling down on efforts to develop software, which CEO Herbert Diess said is the industry's real gamechanger." Duesmann: ""The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices" https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/audi-ceo-sees-chip-shortage-perfect-storm-will-get-through-it-2021-10-04/ 144,000 ID.3 ORDERS RECEIVED – 50 PERCENT FROM NEW VOLKSWAGEN CUSTOMERS Strong performance of the all-electric Volkswagen ID.3 after its first year in the European market.  By the end of September, the car had already been ordered around 144,000 times in Europe – 50 percent of buyers had not driven a Volkswagen before and were new to the brand, found a study commissioned by the company. For comparison: On average, the ratio of new customers for other Volkswagen models is around 36 percent. In the first half of 2021, the strong demand for the ID.3 and other ID. models made Volkswagen the market leader for battery-electric vehicles in Europe within a very short time. In August, the car was the most popular electric car in many markets including Germany, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Austria and Switzerland. Based on new registrations, the ID.3 also ranked top in Western Europe overall in August. In order to meet the strong demand, some 1,200 of the best-selling electric cars are leaving the production lines in Zwickau and Dresden every day, with Zwickau operating three shifts on both production lines. Moreover, production for the local market has started in Anting in China – the car will be launched on the Chinese market in the fall of this year.

Our spies just sent us the first photos of what appears to be the facelifted E-Tron in its coupe-like Sportback version wearing some camouflage that shows us where the manufacturer made changes." says InsideEVs: "Looking through the photos, we notice that the front end of the vehicle is getting a completely revised fascia, along with new headlights, a new bumper and new grille (most of which was hidden but it does look different). Audi also added camouflage that extends back onto the front fenders and side skirts, so we presume there are some changes hiding under there as well. We're expecting to see the updated Audi E-Tron Sportback (as well as the more traditional non-Sportback model) debut sometime next year; in the US they will be sold as 2023 model-year and it looks like the model's popularity has been increasing in the second quarter of 2021."

The company is therefore launching a recruitment drive with the aim of employing more than 280 people by the end of 2021." says electrive: "Currently, Volta Trucks says it has over 150 employees, up from a “handful” at the beginning of the year. Volta is currently looking for industrial and commercial experts, but above all for “talented and forward-thinking engineers”. Seventy positions have been advertised." Earlier in September, Volta Trucks had announced that series production of the Zero would start at Steyr Automotive in Austria. The first examples are to be used in pilot fleets in Paris and London."

There are high expectations for the new Kia electric crossover that has finally made its way to Norway. " says Wataha.no: "awaiting the cars. As planned, the first cars will be delivered at the end of October. There are also demonstration cars on board for many dealers. So some customers will be able to book a test drive soon. Later this year, there will be more such vehicles to more dealers."

Now, days into the fourth quarter, Tesla has continued the earlier trend of price increases on the Model 3 and Model Y." writes The Street.com: "Model 3 Standard Range Plus increased by $2,000 to $41,990. Model 3 Performance increased by $1,000 to $57,990. Model Y Long Range increased by $1,000 to $54,990. Model Y Performance increased by $1,000 to $61,990. Due to Tesla's order backlog, it's likely that Q2 did not reflect the full impact of those price changes. Investors may get an even better understanding when Tesla reports third quarter earnings, expected on Monday, October 25th." We started the year with a SR+ costing $37,990. That's $4000 more, and $5000 more for Model Y Long Range. https://www.thestreet.com/tesla/news/tesla-has-raised-prices-again-here-are-the-changes-tsla MODEL Y MADE IN CHINA GETS 28 MILE RANGE BOOST  " The Model Y made in China for the local market gets a range increase of up to 28 miles while keeping the same purchase price. According to the company's Chinese website, spotted by @ray4tesla/Twitter, the manufacturer has increased the range of Model Y Long Range and Model Y Performance while car prices have remained the same." says Tesmanian: "Model Y for overseas markets is also expected to receive an increase in range. Tesla recently registered several new Model Y variants, including an export version. There is a possibility that this is the variant with the increased range, in accordance with the updates for Model Y in China." But is it more range, or more reported range? Is it a change to the NEDC testing standards? And WLTP/WLTC should start soon in China.  Could it be a change from the 4.6Ah LG Chem 2170 cells to the 5.0Ah LG Chem cells, so the total pack goes from 75->81kWh? https://www.tesmanian.com/blogs/tesmanian-blog/tesla-model-y-made-in-china-gets-28-mile-range-increase-while-maintaining-the-same-price TESLA IS BUILDING MODEL Y BODIES WITH SINGLE FRONT AND REAR CASTINGS "In an auto manufacturing first, Tesla has started building Model Y bodies with two giant single casting pieces for the front and back of the electric SUV. Tesla has already been producing the Model Y with a single rear body piece that replaced 70 different parts in the vehicle." says electrek: Earlier this year, a picture of the first single front casting part of the Model Y produced at Gigafactory Texas leaked. Tesla has been wanting to go a step further and joined those two parts with a structural battery pack powered by its new 4680 battery cells unveiled last year. However, the automaker has lately indicated that the integration of the new cells and structural battery pack might not be introduced with the start of Model Y production at the new factories." https://electrek.co/2021/10/05/tesla-building-model-y-bodies-single-front-rear-castings-manufacturing-first FIRST LOOK AT RIVIAN'S “SENTRY MODE” GEAR GUARD FEATURE IN ACTION (VIDEO) "If Tesla owners have Sentry Mode, Rivian owners will have Gear Guard for security. Recently, a Gear Guard buddy was spotted actively working in a seemingly parked Rivian vehicle. " says Teslarati: "A short clip from Twitter user @D_Love revealed Rivian's rather kid-friendly Gear Guard buddy at work while the vehicle's owner is away. The character captured in the short clip was also seen in a Rivian video posted last month. According to Rivian's Director of UX Design Brennan Boblett, owners can activate a suite of security products through Gear Guard.  Gear Guard seems to be an umbrella term for a list of security features. It will most likely use Driver+ hardware installed in all R1 Rivian vehicles, which includes 11 cameras, 12 ultrasonic sensors, five radars, and a high-precision GPS antenna. Rivian has not fully discussed Gear Guard's suite of security features in detail yet." https://www.teslarati.com/rivian-tesla-sentry-mode-gear-guard-video/ NEW QUESTION OF THE WEEK WITH EMOBILITYNORWAY.COM Returned on Sunday 10th October!

Ecommerce was already growing at a healthy clip before the pandemic, but the explosion in online shopping ushered in by COVID has left city streets often feeling more traffic-clogged than ever before. Whether idling at the curb or slogging through traffic, those commercial trucks are a major source of the emissions and pollutants that contribute to global warming. Carl-Magnus Norden is one of the people trying to change that. Norden is the founder and executive chairman of Volta Trucks, a Sweden-based electric truck manufacturer and services provider that has developed what it describes as the world's first purpose-built, full-electric 16 ton commercial truck, designed specifically for freight distribution in city centers. Norden's goal isn't just to improve the sustainability of cities, but also the safety of their streets and the truck drivers themselves as well.
