The Volta pickup truck is an electric, multipurpose utility vehicle manufactured by the Battronic Truck Corporation of Boyertown, Pennsylvania. The vehicle was teted from July 1980 to September 1981. Complete test results are contained in Section V of this report. Part of the verification test results are summarized below: (1) Acceleration: 0 to 50 km/h (31.1 mi/h) in 10.0 s. (2) Range: SAE J227a ''B'' cycle on level (+-1-percent grade) terrain yielded 55.2 km (34.3 mi) and 162 cycles. (3) Forward Speed Capability: The vehicle maintained 70 km/h (43.5 mi/h) for more than 5 min on the level (+-1-percent) portion of the MERADCOM test track. (4) Gradeability at Speed: At 25 km/h (15.5 mi/h) the vehicle can traverse a 13-percent grade based on calculations from acceleration tests. (5) Gradeability Limit: Calculations based on drawbar-pull tests indicate a 11.5-percent forward and 12.4-percent reverse gradeability for at least 20 s. (ERA citation 11:022887)
