Volvo Trucks has delivered more than 5,000 fully electric trucks to customers in 50 countries around the world. With eight electric trucks now in production, Volvo’s leadership in electric trucks is stronger than ever.
Volvo Trucks has offered electric trucks since 2019, and since then, customers in 50 countries around the world have switched to electric transport and driven nearly 170 million kilometers in commercial operations. The trucks reduce CO2 emissions and traffic noise levels, while also improving the working environment for drivers.
“It is gratifying to see transport companies continue to enjoy the benefits of electric trucks across a wide range of transport sectors,” said Volvo Trucks President Roger Alm. “Volvo’s battery-electric trucks are now available, providing our customers and transport buyers with a more sustainable and commercially sensible alternative, with many of our customers returning to us to grow their electric fleets.”
Volvo’s current range of electric trucks is tailored to meet the needs of urban and regional distribution as well as the construction and waste management sectors. The company’s top five markets for electric trucks are Germany, the Netherlands, the United States, Norway and Sweden.
Electrical expertise
Volvo was an early entrant into electric trucks and has established unique expertise in electric, zero-emission transport. The benefits of electric trucks go beyond environmental benefits – drivers experience a significantly better working environment with significantly reduced noise and vibration levels. Volvo has also built capabilities in optimizing the use of installed energy, financing, charging and servicing of electric trucks.

Volvo’s three-path strategy to achieve zero emissions
Volvo Trucks adopts a three-path technology strategy to decarbonize transportation and achieve net-zero emissions by 2040. This approach is based on battery-electric, fuel-cell electric and internal combustion engines that use renewable fuels such as green hydrogen (produced by splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen using renewable electricity), biogas (bio-liquefied natural gas) or biodiesel and HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil).
