Solo Advanced Vehicle Technologies (Solo), the vehicle hardware company revolutionizing the freight transportation industry, today announced $7 million in seed funding led by Trucks VC with participation from Maniv Mobility and Wireframe Ventures. Solo is building the first ground-up heavy truck platform to be compatible with any autonomous driving software, thereby solving the inefficiency of retrofitting existing, human-centric trucks for autonomous driving. Today’s financing will be used to build out Solo’s engineering team as the company expands at its new headquarters in Fremont, California. The team will finalize the design and build Solo’s first test vehicle - a battery-electric Class 8 truck that will begin testing in 2022
