Volvo Trucks announced on the 30th that it has officially begun production of its next-generation electric truck, which can travel up to 700 km. The first vehicle produced was shipped from the Tuve plant in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The representative model entering production is the "Volvo FH Aero Electric." This model applies new e-axle technology to significantly increase battery capacity, enabling a maximum range of 700 km on a single charge. Additionally, equipped with megawatt charging capabilities and high payload capacity, it lays the foundation for electrifying long-haul routes that have previously relied on diesel trucks.

At the same time, production has also begun for the next-generation Volvo FH, FM, and FMX electric models. These models are equipped with a completely new electric drivetrain designed to improve energy efficiency, productivity, and driving performance, allowing for a maximum range of 470 km on a single charge. The new electric truck lineup will be produced at the Tuve plant in Gothenburg, Sweden, and the Ghent plant in Belgium.

Roger Alm, President of Volvo Trucks, stated that this production launch is an important turning point in leading the transition to sustainable truck transportation. He further explained that with increased range, high versatility for various applications, and excellent driving performance, customers can now easily transition to electrification.

Meanwhile, these production models were unveiled at "IAA Transportation 2026," held from September 14 to 20 in Hanover, Germany.
