TELO Trucks, recognized for creating the world’s most efficient EV mini-truck, has announced a strategic partnership with Aria Group. This collaboration will see Aria Group hand-build TELO’s first two fully functional prototypes. Aria Group is a prominent California-based manufacturer known for its excellence in concept vehicle development and rapid prototyping across various industries including automotive, aerospace, maritime, and entertainment.
This exciting announcement coincides with TELO’s one-year anniversary and follows a successful $5.4 million funding round led by Neo.
