VIA Motors introduces V-TRUX range of extended-range electric trucks, vans and SUVs

http://www.blogcdn.com/www.engadget.com/media/2013/01/via-eyes-2013-01-14-600-3.jpg If you’re launching a line of extended-range electric vehicles, ala the Chevy Volt, it’s hard to imagine a better person to help you with the launch than Bob Lutz, the driving force behind that very car. Now he’s working with VIA Motors, which today introduced a line of electric vehicles of a rather different scale. The V-TRUX line of big boy toys includes modified GMC trucks, SUVs and vans, customized to include a Volt-like powertrain that enables up to 40 miles of electricity-only driving before switching over to the onboard 4.8 liter V8. More details after the break. Gallery: VIA V-TRUX eyes-on
