The vehicle measures in at about 152-inches in length for a [compact appearance on city streets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kg-motors), which also lends impressive capabilities for drivers to easily navigate with ease. The vehicle has two axle motors capable of pumping out a combined 500-horsepower, while the 106kWh battery is rated to deliver up to 350-miles of range per charge. The Telo truck was designed with the help of industrial designer Yves Béhar to give it a truly stylish appearance and has a modular construction to boot. This includes the option to transform the rear into a third row for passengers. Set to be tested later this year, the vehicle is slated to go into production within three-years. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 16% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Autos](https://www.trendhunter.com/autos) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Micro Kei-style Electric Vehicles:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation lies in developing more compact and stylish electric vehicles with versatile capabilities. - **Axle Motors for Enhanced Power:** There is potential for disruptive innovation in creating electric vehicles with multiple axle motors for increased horsepower and performance. - **Modular Construction for Customization:** The trend of modular construction in electric vehicles opens up opportunities for disruptive innovation by allowing for easy customization and adaptability. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Automotive Industry:** The automotive industry can capitalize on the trend by investing in the development of micro kei-style electric vehicles with enhanced features and capabilities. - **Electric Vehicle Industry:** There is an opportunity for disruptive innovation in the electric vehicle industry by incorporating axle motors and modular construction into future vehicle designs. - **Design Industry:** The design industry can play a role in the trend by collaborating with automotive companies to create stylish and customizable electric vehicles with innovative features. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Electric Miniature Pickup Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/telo.md) - [Fully Electric Semi Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kenworth-t680e.md) - [Decarbonized Long-Haul Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/longhaul-truck.md) - [All-Electric Medium-Duty Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mediumduty-truck.md) - [Modular Electric Cargo Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/electric-cargo-truck.md) - [Versatile Mini Electric Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiny-electric-pickup-truck.md) - [Electric Commercial Fleet Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bollinger-b4.md) - [Spacious Electric Trucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chevrolet-silverado.md) - [Two-Seater Solar-Powered EVs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/toyota-ftme.md)
