City of Riverside, CA - Community & Economic Development Department

Yesterday, during our Economic Development Committee meeting, we were honored to recognize Voltu Motor Inc. through our Business Excellence Series for its innovation in advanced manufacturing and its growing impact on Riverside’s economy.

Voltu recently unveiled the name of its manufacturing facility, Voltu Forge One – Riverside, and launched production and deliveries of its battery systems and Voltu3 electric trucks. These milestones represent an important investment in Riverside’s future and further strengthen our city’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and clean transportation technology.

🚁☀️ Great meeting with Narma and Solarize during their visit to the City of Riverside!

From next-generation drone technology to smart renewable energy systems, it was inspiring to learn about the innovations driving a more connected and sustainable future.

Special thanks to Mayor Lock Dawson and Mayor Pro Tem Steven Robillard for joining the discussion. Their remarks underscored Riverside’s commitment to fostering innovation, advancing green and aerospace technologies, and driving industry growth.

A new win for Riverside’s innovation economy 🚗⚡

The City of Riverside joined Voltu Motor Inc. to celebrate a major milestone: the start of production and first customer delivery of the Voltu3, their flagship electric truck, at Voltu Forge One in Riverside.

As the manufacturer of the world’s first all-electric heavy-duty pickup truck, Voltu is leading the future of vehicle electrification by reducing operating costs, improving emissions compliance, and maintaining capability, reliability, and long-range performance.

Voltu represents exactly the kind of company Riverside is working to attract and support, focused on advanced manufacturing, sustainability, and high-quality job creation.

Congratulations to CEO George Gebhart and the entire Voltu team. The City is proud to serve as a partner in their success. 🙌
