Commencement of Phase-4
With the completion of the prototype demonstrator, Triumph will now switch their attention to the live testing phase of the TE-1 project (phase-4).
For next 6-months, the prototype demonstrator will undergo an extensive live testing programme within Triumph’s facilities.
Various programs that will be run on the prototype –
Triumph estimates that the live testing phase (phase-4) will be completed by summer 2022. By then, the company predicts that the TE-1 prototype will be updated with its final body panels and paint scheme.
