Volvo electric trucks: big advancement coming next year
In 2026, Volvo plans to launch an electric heavy-duty truck with a range of up to 600 km on one charge. “It’s great to see this development and how transport companies are embracing the benefits from using electric trucks in daily operations. Electric trucks are cutting emissions and providing a more comfortable and quieter working environment for drivers,” said Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks (read our interview with Mr Alm). “Still, we all know that the shift to electric is going way too slowly. We lack the market conditions that would make it profitable for all transport companies to decarbonize transport. This must change if we are to see more electric trucks on the road.”
