Volta Trucks confirms €37 million of Series B funding as Volta Zero pre-orders pass 2,500

The electric commercial vehicle manufacturer and services provider Volta Trucks has announced the successful conclusion of its Series B funding round, with €37 million secured in new capital. The funding round was led by Luxor Capital with existing investors extending their investments and strategic partners joining the Volta Trucks journey, showing clear belief in the company’s future success, and endorsement of its strategy and potential.

Luxor Capital manages more than $8 billion in assets and has made investments into many automotive and alternative energy companies.

As a further sign of confidence, the company’s original seed investor and participant in the Series A round, Byggmästare Anders J Ahlström of Stockholm, added to its investment in Volta Trucks. They were also joined by strategic partners and first-time investor, Proterra, which was selected as battery supplier for the Volta Zero.

Agility, a leading provider of supply chain services, innovation and investment, also became a first-time investor in Volta Trucks. Agility’s Volta investment is part of its broader strategy of investing in supply chain sustainability and resilience. Agility is focused on partnerships with companies that are developing cleaner commercial vehicles, mass-transit alternatives, freight marketplaces, and digital load-matching platforms – all intended to reduce CO2 emissions, congestion and fuel use.

“Volta Trucks and Agility share a vision of a zero-emissions future and a determination to make it happen sooner rather than later,” said Agility CEO Tarek Sultan.

In the short term, the positive outcome of the funding round will provide Volta Trucks with the means to accelerate its expansion with the development of Pilot Fleet vehicles that will be evaluated by customers in London and Paris in mid-2022, in advance of the start of full-scale production by the end of 2022. Looking ahead, it will also help facilitate the company’s Road- to-Zero Emissions strategy that sees four Volta Zero models developed and offered in European and US markets, with over 27,000 vehicles expected to be sold by 2025.

After recently signing a manufacturing agreement with Steyr Automotive, Volta Trucks has also confirmed positive updates to its order book following the conclusion of several successful customer engagements. Pre-orders for the Volta Zero have now swelled to exceed 2,500 vehicles with an order value of over €600 million, which has doubled in the past three months.

UBS, Fearnley and Finadvice acted as financial advisors to Volta Trucks.
