Volvo Trucks electrification goal
Volvo Trucks, one of the world’s largest truck manufacturers, is aiming for 50% of global sales of new tucks to be electric in 2030. The company already offers multiple models under Volvo Truck and other brands.
The Volvo FM Low Entry is optimized for safe and efficient driving in city areas, with excellent visibility for the driver and capacity for heavy loads. This marks a step towards replacing noisy diesel trucks in city areas with zero-emission electric vehicles.
This type of vehicle is especially suitable for tasks such as waste management, distribution, and construction due to its ergonomic design features and efficient working environment for drivers in busy city locations.
The Volvo FM Low Entry is equipped with a 360-kilowatt-hour battery (4 packs), which should be enough for up to 125 miles of range. The energy can be replenished using an onboard charger or an external DC charger. Sales of the Volvo FM Low Entry start this quarter in Europe and South Korea, with production scheduled for the second quarter of 2024.
Key features of the Volvo FM Low Entry include excellent visibility, Volvo Dynamic Steering system, multiple seat options, ergonomic features, and advanced Camera Monitor System, available in two different heights and various axle configurations.
