Purpose-Built Urban Trucks
A focus on creating electric pickup trucks that are specifically designed for urban environments is central to Tello's mission. These trucks, which will be the size of a Mini Cooper but with the functionality of much larger vehicles, cater to weekend adventurers and businesses needing practical transportation solutions in cities. The intention is to alleviate the issues associated with driving oversized trucks through traffic and finding parking in dense urban areas. By understanding the needs of city dwellers, Tello is addressing a noticeable gap in the truck market that has largely been neglected by existing manufacturers.
