Next year Volvo will launch a new long-range version of its FH Electric that will be able to reach up to 600 km on one charge. In fact, the new Volvo FH Electric will be released for sale during the second half of 2025. According to Volvo, the enabler for the 600 km range is Volvo’s new driveline technology, the so-called e-axle, which creates space for significantly more battery capacity onboard. The e-axle will be one of the main features of the Swedish manufacturer’s participation in IAA 2024.

More efficient batteries, a further improved battery management system and overall efficiency of the powertrain also contribute to the extended range. “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. It will be a great solution for transport companies with a high annual mileage on their trucks and with a strong commitment to reduce CO2,” commented Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks (here’s our recent interview with Mr Alm).
