Neuron EV Torq Electric Semi Truck Introduces Itself In Real-Life Photos And Video

Like many electric vehicle startups, Neuron EV wants to be in the news for as long as possible.

Timing the reveal of their T-One electric pickup/van close to Tesla Cybertruck’s world debut was probably no coincidence. Now, the California-based, Chinese-backed company wants people to talk about its Torq electric semi-truck that should become a rival for the Tesla Semi, assuming it manages to secure funding.

So far, they’ve built one prototype that looks sleek, particularly the interior with a central driving position and a roomy sleeping/relaxing cabin behind the driver’s seat. The rear sleeping area features cinematic entertainment with a surround sound system, internet connectivity, abundant storage space and a plush bed.

As with the T-One pickup, the Neuron EV Torq is built on a scalable chassis with interchangeable body components that are easy to attach and detach. This enables the operator to adjust functionality and expand cargo capacity when needed.

Thanks to wireless cameras that feed data into the central screen via application, the driver has a 360-degree vision of the truck’s surroundings and position at all times. This is said to increase safety and so does the central driving position which Neuron EV claims “allows for balanced visibility, optimized handling and an engaging driving experience.”

The company also says the cabin “is built with compatibility for future autonomous operation,” though it doesn’t elaborate on that. The minimalist dashboard is made possible by the fact that the truck’s vehicle interface application provides full operation control via the onboard displays.

Furthermore, the system is compatible with any personal device, gadgets, internet solutions, and transport management networks. Neuron EV did not reveal any performance specs but says the Torq electric semi-truck will be energy efficient and able to manage long drives on a single battery charge.
