Why is a bankrupt electric truck manufacturer selling off its assets? 🤔 Find out where and how you can buy Volta Trucks parts in Austria at great prices! 🇦🇹
The crisis in the automotive industry spares no one. Even promising projects, seemingly with a bright future, can collapse under the pressure of economic factors. Volta Trucks, a Swedish startup producing electric trucks, has encountered financial difficulties and declared bankruptcy. But what will happen to their Austrian plant in Steyr? And most importantly, where to look for spare parts for already produced vehicles? Let's figure it out!
What happened to Volta Trucks? 📉
Volta Trucks, a manufacturer of electric trucks, has ceased to exist after battery supplier Proterra filed for bankruptcy. This was a serious blow to the company, which had high hopes for the development of production in Austria. The plant in Steyr, where Volta Zero electric trucks were planned to be produced, never reached full capacity. Now, after the bankruptcy, the company's assets are being sold off to at least somehow cover the debts to creditors.
