Volvo Trucks is set to revolutionize long-distance transport with the introduction of its next-generation FH Electric truck, boasting an impressive range of up to 600 km on a single charge. This significant advancement in electric truck technology represents a major milestone in the quest for zero tailpipe emissions in long-distance freight transportation. Expected to hit the market in the latter half of 2025, this new model will allow transport companies to operate on interregional and long-distance routes without the need for frequent recharging, making it a practical solution for high-mileage operations committed to reducing their carbon footprint.
The extended range is made possible by Volvo’s innovative driveline technology, particularly the e-axle, which accommodates more battery capacity and enhances overall powertrain efficiency. This development is part of Volvo’s broader commitment to leading the charge in electric transportation, a sector where it already holds a strong position with eight battery-electric models and a global presence in 46 countries. Volvo’s strategic focus on battery-electric, fuel cell electric, and renewable fuel-powered combustion engines underscores its dedication to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040, aiming to not only reduce global carbon emissions but also improve the working conditions for truck drivers through quieter, smoother rides.
