Volvo Trucks is set to launch a new long-range version of its FH Electric heavy-duty truck in 2025, boasting a 600 km range on a single charge. This breakthrough positions Volvo as a leader in long-distance electric transport, enabling zero tailpipe emissions for interregional and long-distance routes. The truck’s new driveline technology and improved battery management system significantly extend the range, making it possible for transport companies to operate without the need for frequent recharging.
Key Highlights:
- 600 km range on a single charge enables full-day operations without recharging.
- The new Volvo FH Electric will be available for sale in the second half of 2025.
- Powered by Volvo’s e-axle driveline technology, allowing for increased battery capacity.
- Volvo Trucks maintains its leadership with eight battery-electric models in its portfolio.
- The company has delivered over 3,800 electric trucks to customers in 46 countries.
- Three-path technology strategy aims for net-zero emissions by 2040, including battery electric, fuel cell electric, and renewable-fuel engines.
Volvo’s commitment to reducing carbon emissions is underscored by its extensive product range, making electrification possible across various sectors, from city distribution to long-distance transport. “Our new electric flagship will be a great complement to our wide range of electric trucks and enable zero-exhaust emission transport also for the longer distances,” said Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks.
The introduction of the 600 km range is made possible by Volvo’s latest advancements in driveline technology, particularly the e-axle, which accommodates more battery capacity. Additionally, the improved efficiency of the batteries and powertrain plays a crucial role in achieving this extended range.
Volvo Trucks continues to lead the industry towards fossil-free transport, aligning with its goal to reach net-zero emissions by 2040. The company’s three-path technology approach—combining battery electric, fuel cell electric, and renewable-fuel engines—represents a comprehensive strategy to address global carbon emissions, which currently account for seven percent from the transport sector.
As Volvo continues to innovate, the transport industry can expect significant advancements in sustainable trucking, paving the way for a greener future.
