Topic: Monty055 - Solved: EV Fleet Condor

[el_monty]

Fellow Autopuzzlers, for a point please tell me the name of this odd-looking truck and where it's built. Shouldn't be hard for a rookie.

Don't be naughty! Stay away from Google Search by Image, kids

is it Spanish?

[el_monty]

Not Spanish

[richard cuyler]

This looks like a Trick Truck, a plastic body and lightweight load bed on a spaceframe chassis, judging by the fully independent, racing-type rear suspension and (probably) mid-engine. Also the snout looks a bit too streamlined for a pickup.....Is it from the USA?

[el_monty]

It is from the USA, but it is not a Trick Truck. There is a reason why the snout looks the way it does.

Is the nose full of batteries?

Condor electric truck

[el_monty]

Point for Hiawatha. This is indeed the Condor Electric Truck built in North Carolina by EV Fleet Inc. The shape of the front was dictated by the aerodynamic studies they made in order to minimise drag. It actually has a storage space under the hood. The drivetrain and batteries are located between the frame rails under the truck bed.
