“Panasonic is working with Tropos Motors to address the needs of businesses that depend on small commercial vehicles with the right mix of technologies and electrification solutions that also add societal value by providing cleaner alternatives,” said Panasonic Automotive director of advanced engineering, Scott Morrison.

“If you can have a vehicle that has all of the capabilities of a larger truck, but in a smaller package, that is what makes it more appropriate for the job. It is not about down-sizing. It is about right-sizing.”

Tropos Technologies is a developer of electric vehicle technology offering a portfolio of electric utility trucks with its Able platform. Tropos Able vehicles vary in applications, ranging from emergency services to facilities, agriculture and last-mile cargo delivery.
