Volvo’s gas-powered trucks: major milestone achieved
In terms of consumption, Volvo’s gas-powered trucks can travel up to 1,000 kilometers on a single tank, making them well suited for long-haul and regional distribution, as well as construction operations. They are a practical alternative to other low-emission solutions at a time when transport operators and freight buyers are seeking more sustainable options. Volvo’s advanced gas engine technology is derived from its highly successful D13 powertrain, delivering diesel-like performance.
“Volvo’s gas engine technology is a leading solution in terms of power, torque, engine response, and fuel efficiency, and our customers also appreciate the strong performance, drivability, and overall comfort of our gas-powered trucks,” said Jan Hjelmgren, Head of Product Management at Volvo Trucks. “We see substantial potential for gas-powered trucks as an important step on the journey toward zero-emission transport.”
