Volvo Trucks has expanded its electric vehicle portfolio with the launch of a new generation of electric trucks, offering better performance, greater flexibility and a driving range of up to 700 km. This development marks a major milestone in the development of heavy-duty electric transportation and sets a new standard for long-haul electric trucking.
Leading the announcement is the new long-range FH Aero Electric with extended range, capable of traveling up to 700 km on a single charge. This breakthrough addresses one of the biggest challenges in electric heavy-duty transportation – long-distance operations – making electric trucks a viable option for demanding logistics applications.
Along with the FH Aero Electric, Volvo has also introduced next-generation versions of its FH, FM and FMX electric trucks. These updated models bring significant improvements in operational flexibility, productivity and driver comfort. With a driving range of up to 470 km, the new truck fleet enables operators to transition to electric power across a variety of transportation tasks.
The expanded lineup reinforces Volvo Trucks’ leadership in the electric truck segment, where the company already offers one of the industry’s widest electric portfolios. The latest updates are designed to help businesses replace diesel-powered trucks with zero-emission alternatives more efficiently.
Roger Elam, president of Volvo Trucks, said the company is strengthening its electric offering to meet the growing needs of customers. He emphasized that the broad lineup and extended range make it easier than ever for transportation operators to switch from diesel to electric trucks.
He further added that Volvo Trucks is confident that electric vehicles will play an important role in the future of global truck transportation, adding that the performance of the new models demonstrates the increasing capability and practicality of electric heavy-duty solutions.
