The VO.2 is designed to offer a cost-effective and environmentally friendly logistics solution, boasting a powerful Axial Flux Motor, a quick 20-minute charge time, and customizable options to suit diverse needs.
Tresa Motors, India’s manufacturer of medium and heavy electric trucks, recently launched its VO.2 model. The VO.2 model is set to undergo testing for India’s first and global Centralized Computing Unit, Advanced Telemetry System, 800V (peak) modular battery packs with an in-house Battery Management System, a new central steering system, in-house designed Daytime Running Lights, and its inaugural version of a Heat Pump for comprehensive cooling needs, including cabin air conditioning.
Unlike most modern vehicles, including EVs, which utilize multiple Electronic Control Units (ECUs) for various sub-systems, Tresa is integrating these ECUs with its zonal architecture. This architecture is powered by an NVIDIA GPU-driven Centralized Computing Unit that handles the majority of control, AI, and telematics requirements. The telematics system will stream data from over 500 monitoring points to the cloud for continuous performance, safety, and efficiency analytics.
Tresa’s VO.2 model is designed as an environmentally friendly logistics solution, claiming to be durable, resilient, and reliable for Indian road conditions. The company aims to provide a ‘compelling’ cost advantage per mile over traditional diesel trucks, according to a press release.
Rohan Shravan, the Founding CEO of Tresa Motors, stated, “We are excited to announce the launch of Model VO.2. Built on our ‘Delta-Engineering’ philosophy, VO.2 is a significant internal release where we get to test and monitor all of our components on the road. This is also where we feel that we can optimize our heat pump and make it our key IP along with our motor and battery.”
The latest VO.2 truck features a new central steering setup and a comfortable air-suspended seat with customizable body options. This powerhouse boasts a maximum torque of 24000Nm, reaching a top speed of 120kmph. Equipped with a 300KWH battery, the VO.2 offers a quick 20-minute charge time (10-80% SOC), ensuring efficiency on the go.
Tresa Motors’ futuristic electric trucks are built on the Axial Flux Motor Platform Flux 350, and the world’s first 800V 50 kWh truly immersive self-contained battery pack module – Meg50. The Flux 350 motor’s design and engineering offer higher power density, improved cooling capabilities, increased efficiency, a compact size, and flexibility. The Meg50 comes in IP69 self-contained enclosures with embedded active-liquid cooling. The Meg50 module enables customization with various ranges depending on the payload, offering cost flexibility to the customer.
