BACKGROUND
Volta Trucks set out to make cities safer and cleaner through fully electric commercial vehicles. Its flagship, Volta Zero, is the world's first purpose-built, fully electric 16-tonne urban freight truck. Robosoft's SDV team designed the HMI that would bring its safety-first vision to life inside the truck.
THE CHALLENGES
Addressing the
critical gaps
Decide what goes where across three displays so drivers always see what matters most.
Present EV-specific data such as charging, battery health, regen braking, etc., in ways that feel natural, not technical.
Deliver the right information at the right moment without pulling attention away from the road.
Reflect Volta's safety-led identity while hitting aggressive delivery deadlines.

THE ROBOSOFT SOLUTION
Defined a clear information hierarchy across three-cab screens, keeping safety-critical data front and center.
Soft glows, color shifts, and a 3D truck visualization deliver instant at-a-glance vehicle status awareness.
Driver interviews and hands-on prototype testing at real operations sites analyzed the HMI against real-world workflows.
Delivered fully production-ready design assets and design specifications for direct engineering handoff.
