Bangalore, 3rd July 2023: Tresa Motors is thrilled to announce the unveiling of its inaugural electric truck, the Model V0.1, which showcases our groundbreaking Axial Flux Motor Platform: FLUX350. Designed for the global market, this milestone represents Tresa Motors’ revolutionary approach to industrial design, axial flux powertrain, and safe battery packs for medium and heavy-duty electric trucks. It exemplifies our unwavering commitment to innovation and our vision for a future driven by sustainable transportation solutions.
In India alone, the current fleet of 2.8 million trucks contributes to 60% of emissions, emphasizing the urgent need for zero-emission medium and heavy-duty trucks. With the upcoming vehicle scrappage policy in 2024 and rising fuel costs, the time is ripe for a transition to electric trucks. At Tresa Motors, we aim to lead this transformation by providing safe, innovative, and eco-friendly alternatives to traditional diesel trucks, all while ensuring the lowest total cost of ownership. Our mission is to transition India’s 2.8 million trucks to electric, one vehicle at a time.
At the heart of Tresa’s trucks lies our cutting-edge Axial Flux Motor technology, FLUX350, which delivers up to 350kW continuous power, making us the only Indian OEM with such remarkable power output. Axial Flux motors are renowned for their compact size and lightweight nature. Developed entirely in India, with only a handful of axial flux motor manufacturers worldwide, Tresa Motors proudly stands at the forefront of global innovation.
“The journey leading to the official launch of Tresa’s Model V0.1 and the development of our Axial Flux Motor platform has been truly extraordinary,” expressed Rohan Shravan, Founder CEO of Tresa Motors. “Since our inception, we have overcome numerous challenges and now have the support of industry veterans who have joined Tresa’s team, accelerating our journey. Collectively, the Tresa team has manufactured over 200 different types of trucks in India, Germany, the US, and Japan, selling a staggering 2 million-plus units!”
Months of rigorous simulations using ANSYS and MATLAB were conducted to fine-tune hundreds of parameters before commencing the manufacturing process. This meticulous approach exemplifies Tresa Motors’ commitment to designing and engineering products based on first principles.
Moreover, the launch of Tresa Motors marks a significant step towards fulfilling the founder’s vision for India. Rohan Shravan, Founder of Tresa Motors, commented, “India has the potential to become a global powerhouse in the field of electric vehicles in the years to come. With Tresa Motors, we are determined to contribute to this vision and position India as a leader in global transportation solutions.”
