VivoPower announced today that its subsidiary, Tembo e-LV, has been advised that it will receive shipment of 25 Tusker fully electric utility vehicles into Sydney, Australia before the end of February 2025. Tembo will subsequently be able to deliver Tuskers to customers and partners.
The Tusker batch includes the next generation model which has upgraded features, including EPB (electronic park braking), Uphill Drive assistance, Fixed Speed Cruise Control, Bluetooth Car Phone, 12.3-inch Centre Console screen interface as well as AEBS and the popular V2L (vehicle-to-load) feature.
The Tembo Tuskers offer the best value for money 100% electric utility pick-up trucks in Australia and come with a 3-year OEM warranty and 8-year battery warranty from CATL, the world’s largest battery company. The Tusker received full Australian Federal Government on-road homologation vehicle type approval (VTA) in November 2024, following a rigorous testing and evaluation program by independent Australian Federal Government approved inspectors. VTAs are a critically important regulatory milestone in the Australasian pick-up truck market, which is estimated to be approximately US$10 billion. Without VTAs, vehicles are not considered homologated and cannot be legally driven on public roads across Australia. They are crucial for ensuring that vehicles, including EVs, meet essential safety, environmental, and anti-theft standards before hitting the road. Under the Road Vehicle Standards (RVS) legislation, these approvals – managed by the Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, and Communications – verify that EVs comply with stringent national regulations covering design, construction, and performance. As EV adoption accelerates, VTAs become vital in regulating new fully electric vehicle models in the market. They address unique EV-specific standards, such as battery safety and charging capabilities, helping manufacturers demonstrate compliance with local regulations.
