Asher Bennett, founder of Tevva Electric Trucks: "It's very cool that you can work on big toys"

How is the electric truck of the future manufactured? It all starts with submarines. Well, at least, according to Asher Bennett, founder and CEO of Tevva Electric Trucks, who spoke at Calcalist's Mind The Tech London conference. "I served in the Navy as a submarine officer. The submarine was my first electric vehicle. The whole submarine is electric. We would charge it at the beach and occasionally would use a generator for deep dives. We brought this principle to our trucks."

Bennett's company currently employs 180 people and already operates 100 delivery trucks in London and the surrounding area. "We are a goal-oriented company," he said. "We have a young workforce that loves our mission and that we're trying to do something good for the world. It's also very cool that you can work on big toys.”
