Abandoned History: The 2014 VIA VTRUX Pickup, a Forgotten Silverado

The Truth About Cars

The story begins with a company in Utah called Raser Technologies. VIA was focused on fleet sales and a low cost of ownership. The math worked out (per VIA) that after eight years of use, fleet customers would save roughly a third on ownership costs. This sort of topic is the very reason Abandoned History exists.
