"Volvo Trucks, boasting one of the largest electric truck line-ups in the
industry, has unveiled a new long-distance electric truck, the FH Aero
Electric, which it says will offer a driving range of 700 kilometres.
The Aero Electric reveal was the major part of an announcement that also
included the next generation of the company’s heavy-duty Volvo FH, FM and FMX
Electric trucks, which will all boast driving ranges of up to 470km.
The Aero Electric will feature energy-efficient batteries with an on-board
energy of up to 540 kWh, and Usable Battery Energy (UBE) of up to 460 kWh. It
will be able to power refrigeration units. It will also be capable of 700 kW
charging rates, meaning it can be charged within the legislated rest period for
truck drivers in the EU.
“This long-haul electric truck is the best in the industry,” said Roger Alm,
president of Volvo Trucks.
“It offers an outstanding range in combination with high payload, fast charging
and great riding comfort. With this truck, our customers can drive the really
long distances and throughout an entire working day with the same productivity
as diesel trucks.
“We stand firm in our belief that electric vehicles will deliver a large part
of the world’s truck transport in the future. With the amazing performance of
all our new trucks, it’s easy to see why.
“It has never been easier to replace diesel trucks with electric ones.”"
