The ultra-compact Telo EV crams a full-size pick-up truck into the footprint of a Mini. Yves Behar explains how the project came into being
Telo is a new company, based in San Francisco, that believes it has created ‘urban adventure vehicle with a difference’. Founded by Jason Marks, a specialist in Lidar and autonomous driving, and Forrest North, a battery specialist and one of Tesla’s early employees, Telo is debuting its first EV this summer.American truck culture is out of control.
From A-pillar backwards, the Telo is more conventional, with a four-door cab ahead of a traditional truck bed. Behar points out that the Telo combines a standard 60in truck bed with a five-person cabin, yet it fits into exactly the same footprint as a Mini Cooper. At 3.86m, the Telo is a minnow compared to the largest pick-ups, yet it still packs in as much space as a Toyota Tacoma. ‘It is really adapted to urban environments,’ he enthuses.The details are delightfully simple.
