History
Telo Trucks was founded by Jason Marks, CEO, Forrest North, CTO, and Yves Behar as CCO, in 2022.
In 2025, Telo Trucks announced agreements with Aptera Motors for supply of integrated solar panel options for the Telo MT1. The solar panel integration will allow buyers to select up to three solar panel kits- cab top, a tonneau bed cover, and camper top.[5]
Vehicles
Telo Trucks' debut vehicle, the MT1 (Mini-Truck One), is projected to enter production in 2026.[6][7] The MT1 is a purpose-built electric mini truck intending to combine the practicality of a pickup truck with functionality suited to urban environments. When achieving serial production, it will have the smallest footprint of any truck in the conventional US market.
