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.
Additionally, the full results of the project including the final specifications and testing outcomes will be published and presented including final battery and range performance.
