Telo, the US mobility company co-founded by Yves Behar, has unveiled the drivable prototype of its MT1 electric truck.
The MT1 features a four-door cabin that can seat up to 5 people, is completed by a 1.5-meter-long truck bed, and has a small and compact footprint of 3.8 meters, more or less the same as a two-door city hatchback.

According to Behar, most EVs simply end up copying traditional gasoline-car layouts. That's why, along with Fuseproject, he set out to reimagine the pickup concept by taking advantage of EV technology's spatial efficiency. Thanks to its compact electric motors, the Telo features a dramatically shortened front end and forward-positioned seating. This approach allows for a full-size truck bed and spacious cabin within a city-friendly footprint.

The MT1 will launch with only two color options: Slate (a kind of blue) and Shadow (a brown-ish color), contrasting with competitors' not just on the size of the truck, but also by offering a much more restricted and opinionated palette. Inside, the car's streamlined digital dashboard features a metal bezel highlighting essential information, complemented by a central dial for quick adjustments. Last but not least, the MT1 sports a 500hp equivalent output and a 350-mile range. Telo expects the first shipments of the MT1 to arrive in early 2026 and has already said that it plans a minivan variant of the MT-1 in the future.
