The new model from Volvo Trucks boasts a range as high as 600 kilometers on one charge, promising to revolutionize the electric truck market. This means reaching a new significant mark for long-distance electric transport: an appropriate solution for interregional routes and long hauls without frequent recharging.
The new Volvo FH Electric will come into the market in the latter half of 2025 and is one giant leap toward electric trucks. It is targeted at transport companies with high yearly mileage and is able to run an entire day on one charge. The result is going to be revolutionary for long-distance transportation because the number of required stops to recharge will be cut, which increases efficiency within logistics companies.
Our new electric flagship will be a perfect complement to our wide range of electric trucks and enable zero-exhaust emission transport also for the longer distances, ” says Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks. “It will be a great solution for transport companies with a high annual mileage on their trucks and with a strong commitment to reduce CO2.” The above statement emphasizes the commitment of Volvo towards advancing sustainable transport solutions, while at the same time the long route business operation needs are met.
The secret to the innovation of the Volvo FH Electric lies in its advanced e-axle technology from the company, which is important in raising the threshold for both battery capacity and efficiency. This is a critical, necessary technology to realize such range in the new model, as it makes sure that even at long trips, the working will be efficient. It will therefore be an addition to firms that seek to incorporate electric vehicles into their fleets for numerous transport tasks.
During the last five years, Volvo Trucks has been at the forefront of the electric truck industry, demonstrating its evident leadership through an assortment of battery-electric models. Today, Volvo offers eight different electric truck models developed for many different applications: from city distribution and waste management to long-distance transport. With deliveries totaling more than 3,800 electric trucks in 46 countries, Volvo today is among the leading players in the world in terms of sustainable transport solutions.
The transport sector represents seven percent of global carbon emissions. Battery-electric trucks are basic instruments to reduce the climate footprint,” says Alm. In his opinion, electric trucks would double the advantage in their contribution to environmental sustainability and enhancement of working conditions for truckers. In fact, driving an electric truck is quieter and more comfortable because the noise and vibrations are much lower than on diesel ones.
Volvo Trucks is committed to achieving net-zero emissions no later than 2040, and its three-path technology strategy meets the demands of customers across different transport segments while making a significantly lower environmental impact.
Where there is continuous effort and innovation by Volvo in the matters of sustainability, the introduction of Volvo FH Electric proves that in order to push beyond what electric truck technology currently can do and what is possible with long-distance electric transport, setting a new mark for the industry, it’s Volvo. It’s expected that this new model will contribute to companies not only reducing their carbon footprint but also to the general efficiency and sustainability of their operations.
With growing emphasis worldwide on reducing carbon emissions, Volvo Trucks is at the forefront of the shift toward cleaner, more sustainable transport solutions. Its new electric truck boasts a 600 km range, while the company commits to reaching net-zero emissions, proving that substantial environmental gains can be achieved without sacrificing practical transport sector needs.
The introduction of the Volvo FH Electric, therefore, becomes a critical point for the electric truck market-a nice sneak peek into what the future of long-distance transport may look like. As this industry continues to move further in its development curve, it will remain a benchmark for innovation by Volvo and its commitment to sustainability, thereby driving the future of transportation and progress toward a greener and sustainable world.
