Volvo’s electric trucks have driven 80 million km in 5 years


Volvo Trucks has announced that its electric models, first introduced in 2019, have driven a total of more than 80 million kilometers in commercial traffic, equivalent to 2,000 laps around the earth.

The company says it has sold more than 3,500 electric trucks in 45 countries over the past five years. Its global deliveries of electric trucks increased by 256% to 1,977 trucks in 2023. In the first quarter of 2024, its share of the electric truck segment was 56% in Europe and 44% in the US.

Volvo Trucks has expanded its offerings since 2019 to a range that includes eight electric trucks: the FL Electric, FE Electric, FM Electric, FM Low Entry, FMX Electric, FH Aero Electric, VNR Electric and the top-selling FH Electric, winner of the International Truck of the Year Award for 2024.

“Volvo’s electric trucks meet the needs of a wide range of applications—from urban distribution and waste management to regional haul and construction. Over the five years of electrification, Volvo has also built expertise in optimizing the use of installed energy, charging and servicing of electric trucks,” the company said.
