Trucks
Electric trucks have been offered by Volvo Trucks since 2019 and since then, customers in 50 countries around the world have switched to electric transport and driven close to 170 million kilometers in commercial operations. These trucks have reduced CO2 emissions and traffic noise levels while also improving the working environment for drivers.
“It’s rewarding to see that transport companies continue to embrace the benefits with electric trucks in a wide range of transport segments.”, says Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks. “Volvo’s battery-electric trucks are available here and now, providing our customers and transport buyers with a more sustainable alternative that makes business sense, and many of our customers are coming back to us to grow their electric fleets.”
Volvo’s current range of electric trucks is tailored to meet the needs of city- and regional distribution as well as the construction and refuse segments. The company’s top 5 markets for electric trucks are Germany, the Netherlands, United States, Norway and Sweden.
Electric know-how
Volvo’s early entry into the electric truck segment has built a unique expertise in electric zero-exhaust emission transport. The benefits of electric trucks go beyond the environmental gains – drivers are experiencing a significantly better working environment with much lower levels of noise and vibrations. Volvo has also built competence in optimizing the use of installed energy, financing, charging and servicing electric trucks.
These are the electric Volvo truck models on offer today:
Volvo’s three-path strategy towards zero emissions
Volvo Trucks drives the decarbonizing of transport to reach its net-zero emissions target by 2040 using a three-path technology strategy. This approach is built on battery electric, fuel cell electric and combustion engines that run on renewable fuels like green hydrogen (produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity), biogas (Bio-LNG) or biodiesel and HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil).
