Barcelona is one of several manufacturing options currently being investigated, alongside other potential sites in the UK and Europe.

The announcement comes as the Volta Zero arrives in Spain to continue its European tour of customer events, and the launch of the new Spanish website. The Volta Zero will be displayed at the MercaMadrid between Monday 12 April and Thursday 22 April. The vehicle will then be transferred to the MercaBarna and Eixample District of Barcelona and be displayed between Monday 26 April and Thursday 6 May 2021.

“We have been investigating and evaluating a number of European manufacturing partners and facilities for many months, and are narrowing down the field to a small group of finalists” said Volta Trucks’ Chief Technology Officer, Kjell Waloen. “Assembling the Volta Zero in Spain could be of interest, to serve southern European cities for whom decarbonisation of commercial vehicles is becoming an ever-stronger priority. We will conclude our investigations shortly but having an option to manufacture the Volta Zero in Barcelona could be interesting for us.”
