Volvo Trucks has launched a next-generation long-haul electric truck, featuring a range of up to 600 kilometers and ultra-fast charging capabilities, marking a major advancement in zero-emission freight transport.
Unveiled as part of Volvo’s commitment to sustainable mobility, the electric truck is designed to meet the rigorous demands of long-distance logistics while reducing the sector’s carbon footprint.
One of the key highlights is its 40-minute fast-charging capability, which significantly improves operational uptime and makes the truck more practical for long-haul use. The truck also features enhanced torque and energy efficiency.
Volvo stated that the new model is ideal for both regional and intercity transportation and is equipped with smart driver assistance systems and safety technologies, continuing the brand’s legacy of reliability and innovation.
The company plans to roll out the truck in select international markets by late 2025, with pilot operations starting soon. Industry experts have already called the move a potential “game-changer” for the global EV trucking segment.
This launch underscores Volvo’s broader mission to achieve net-zero emissions across its commercial fleet and aligns with global efforts to decarbonize heavy transport and logistics.
