The Source for Multinational Fleet Professionals
Why Volvo Trucks believes it's not only imperative, but also very possible, for more trucking fleets to get started with electrification efforts.
With a record order in Europe and several recent orders in the U.S., Volvo says electric-truck adoption is gaining momentum.
Dependable Highway Express has been piloting two Volvo electric trucks as part of its sustainability efforts and plans to order more.
Starting in 2021, European carriers will have access to all-electric versions of Volvo's line of heavy-duty trucks. The announcement came in conjunction with Volvo Group's Capital Markets Day, where the company laid out its strategy to provide solutions that are “100% safe, 100% fossil-free and 100% more productive.”
Volvo Trucks North America announced it will begin selling the Volvo VNR Electric truck model on Dec. 3. It will start producing the VNR Electric at its New River Valley manufacturing plant in Dublin, Virginia, in early 2021.
Fleet adoption of medium- and heavy-duty electric vehicles means more than just acquiring the trucks. It also means having places to charge those trucks — and it’s not as simple as plugging a Nissan Leaf into a port in your garage or a parking space at Whole Foods.
Volvo Trucks North America will use $20 million in grants to deploy 70 VNR Electric trucks with fleets in southern California.
NFI recently became the third fleet to pilot Volvo Trucks North America’s VNR Electric truck as part of the Volvo LIGHTS project.
Dependable Highway Express has added a pair of Volvo VNR Electric trucks to its Southern California fleet as part of the Volvo LIGHTS project.
Volvo and Mack have signed an agreement with Samsara agreeing to work together to investigate an all-encompassing, integrated connectivity solution.
