Telo Trucks (branded as TELO and pronounced to rhyme with "hello") is an American startup specializing in electric vehicle development.
History
Established in 2022 by CEO Jason Marks, CTO Forrest North, and CCO Yves Béhar, Telo Trucks focuses on the electric pickup segment by delivering cutting-edge design and advanced technology.
In 2025, the company formed a collaboration with Aptera Motors to offer solar panel integration for its Telo MT1 model. Buyers have the option to select from three solar configurations: cab roof, tonneau bed cover, and camper shell, which improve the vehicle's efficiency and market appeal.
Vehicles
The initial offering from Telo Trucks, the MT1 (Mini-Truck One), is planned for launch in 2026. This compact electric pickup aims to combine the practicality of a truck with features suited for urban environments. At launch, it will hold the distinction of having the smallest size footprint among traditional trucks available in the United States.
