This startup automaker aims to deliver Tacoma interior and bed space in a much, much smaller package.
spans the Telo's width and is said to have capacity for three carry-on-size pieces of luggage. Before you think it's entirely copied from the R1T, in the Telo the tunnel is accessible from the top via a panel in the bed, unlike the Rivian. Additionally, Telo wants to offer seats that bracket into that panel, transforming the truck into a petite three-row SUV when an accessory bed cap is also installed.
Every Telo will be equipped with a dual-motor powertrain for electric all-wheel drive. Combined output is 500 hp and 301 lb-ft of torque, enough for a Telo-estimated 4.0-second 0-60-mph launch. Based on a 27-inch tire, the truck rides with 10 inches of ground clearance and 8 inches of wheel travel. Telo wants its truck to have solid off-road capability but also be fun to drive—company engineers drive BMW 2 Series and track-prepped Mazda Miatas, after all.
A pill-shaped sculpting on the doors is another strong differentiator. Called the"milled groove" by Telo, it's a functional element. Although the exposed faces of the front tires should result in an epic approach angle, not enclosing them within wells results in additional turbulence. Telo will remedy this by building an air channel from the well through the front door, which vents out through the dark portion of the milled groove.
Telo recognizes this consumer market is potentially niche, so it envisions commercial fleet applications for its truck, too. The company thinks its truck could woo municipalities, as it would allow workers to get closer to their destinations amid vehicle and pedestrian traffic—provided it has the capacity for necessary equipment. With 5G connectivity, Telo also wants to develop control systems for remote operators in warehouse or stockyard environments.
