SQM Lithium Ventures invests US$3 million in Terraline, the developer of a zero-emission, long-haul battery-electric truck.

Terraline’s Tangra LH1 electric truck eliminates emissions from the crucial long-haul trucking sector, a significant contributor to global greenhouse gases.

The truck boasts a range of more than 500 kilometres, addressing a significant hurdle for electric trucks. In addition, Terraline’s focus on autonomy-ready technology puts its electric truck platform at the forefront of a rapidly evolving industry.

This investment underscores SQMi’s commitment to sustainable development and furthers our vision of a sustainable lithium ecosystem, where innovation drives the development of clean transportation solutions.
