Volvo to launch electric truck with 600 km range

Volvo's new heavy-duty electric truck will achieve up to 600 km on a single charge, advancing zero-emission long-distance transport.

Gothenburg, Sweden- Volvo Trucks is set to launch a new long-range version of its FH Electric in the second half of 2025. With a range of up to 600 km on a single charge, it enables transport companies to operate on interregional and long-distance routes, allowing a full day's work without recharging. 

Mr. Roger Alm, President Volvo Trucks, said, “Our new electric flagship will be a great complement to our wide range of electric trucks and enable zero-exhaust emission transport also for the longer distances. It will be a great solution for transport companies with a high annual mileage on their trucks and with a strong commitment to reduce CO2.”

Volvo’s new e-axle driveline technology, which allows for more battery capacity, is key to the FH Electric's 600 km range. Enhanced batteries, an improved battery management system, and greater powertrain efficiency also contribute. Volvo Trucks, with eight electric models in its portfolio, supports city, regional, and soon long-distance transport electrification. Having delivered over 3,800 electric trucks across 46 countries, Volvo is making strides in reducing the transport sector's carbon footprint. "Battery-electric trucks not only cut emissions but also improve the driver’s working environment with less noise and vibration," says Roger Alm. 

Volvo Trucks drives the transition towards fossil-free transport to reach its net-zero emissions target by 2040 using a three-path technology strategy. The three-path technology approach is built on battery electric, fuel cell electric and combustion engines that run on renewable fuels like green hydrogen, biogas or HVO (Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil).
