A new electric truck range from Volvo: for your reality

The latest generation of heavy-duty electric trucks are built from experience to deliver for you today. But now with greater flexibility, increased payload and more range than ever before.

Seven years ago, Volvo Trucks set out to electrify heavy transport with a clear goal: to deliver trucks that perform as well as their diesel counterparts while reducing CO₂ emissions. What began with a handful of prototypes has become one of the most complete electric truck line-ups in the world.

Now, the next generation of Volvo FH, FM and FMX Electric trucks take that experience even further. Two new drivetrains – Volvo FH Aero with extended range and the updated FH, FM, and FMX Electric – form the backbone of a new electric heavy-duty range designed to fit almost any operation. In fact, with many contracts today won or lost on sustainability, fleets can tackle even more segments and routes with electric trucks than before.

“It’s been a huge learning journey,” says Håkan Rosén Commercialisation Manager electric at Volvo Trucks. “The result is that today we can realistically replace most diesel operations with electric ones without compromise.”

From long-haul and regional distribution to construction, road maintenance and refuse collection, the new electric trucks are designed to mirror diesel operations across a wide range of applications. For both bodybuilders and drivers, the working principles remain familiar, allowing electric trucks to be integrated into existing fleets with minimal disruption.

Mirror your fleet without compromise

“With the Volvo FH Aero Electric with extended range, you can shorten the charging breaks and increase the workable range,” says Håkan. With larger batteries, up to 700 km of range and faster charging, it’s now possible for 24/7 or two-shift operations to shift to electric.

To effectively mirror your diesel fleet’s uptime, Håkan recommends charging the trucks where they naturally spend the most time. “Depots, loading yards, rest areas,” he says.

“For single-shift trucks parked overnight, a slow or mid-speed depot charger is perfect and cheapest,” adds Håkan. “When drivers understand how to get the most from their trucks, everyone wins – the operation runs smoothly, costs go down and overall emissions are reduced.”

*Range depends on several external conditions such as the weather, wind resistance, total weight of the truck and the driver’s performance.
