A Valley electric automotive startup has filed six new provisional patents related to the all-electric work pickup and vehicle platform the company is developing.
Mesa-based Atlis Motor Vehicles filed the patents as part of the development of its XT pickup, an electric work truck intended to have a 500-mile range that matches or outperforms the heavy-duty power, towing and rapid refueling capabilities of diesel-powered trucks.
The vehicles are envisioned for use in agriculture, service, utility and construction industries.
They will run on the company’s XP platform, which will use its proprietary battery technology, electric motors and modular system architecture.
