E-truck delivery, statements from Volvo Trucks and DFDS

“We firmly believe in leading by example, and to start using zero-exhaust emission trucks in our own inbound flow of goods is an important part of our strategy to create a world-class, sustainable transport system. I´m really proud to have DFDS as a partner on this journey,” said Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks.

“Replacing our conventional, diesel trucks with alternatives like the Volvo FM Electric truck will have a significant impact on our carbon emissions. But this effort requires much more than financial investment. It’s important to work with energy providers and industry leaders, like Volvo Trucks, to make our climate ambitions a reality. The transition requires the right infrastructure and cooperation across various areas of society. It cannot be achieved by working alone,” added Niklas Andersson, Executive Vice President and Head of Logistics Division at DFDS.
