Volvo Trucks North America remains committed to its zero emissions transportation ambitions, proudly announcing that the Volvo VNR Electric has accomplished 15 million miles in customer operations. This milestone highlights the dedication to sustainable solutions since commercial orders began in December 2020. Today, over 700 Volvo VNR Electric trucks are operating across the United States and Canada, deployed by fleets of all sizes—from single-truck owner-operators to fleets with more than 100 battery-electric trucks.
“We know that we live in a challenging time when it comes to deploying zero-tailpipe emission vehicles. There are long delays in getting charging infrastructure, regulatory uncertainty, including the future of grants and incentives to adopting battery-electric trucks, but we have continued to see customers defy the odds and add zero-emission vehicles to their fleet,” said Peter Voorhoeve, President, Volvo Trucks North America. “Globally, Volvo Trucks is in the lead when it comes to market share with battery-electric trucks; that lead includes also leading here in North America. We will continue to support our customers in their transition to sustainable transportation solutions by providing the highest quality products, robust dealer support and innovative financing options.”
New product in pipeline
Volvo Trucks is preparing for the next phase of its electromobility journey with the upcoming Volvo VNL Electric. Built on the platform of the all-new Volvo VNL that was launched last year, this truck will feature an extended range enabled by an electronic rear axle (e-axle). This new e-axle integrates the electric motors and transmission directly into the rear axle, freeing up space for additional batteries and extending the truck’s range. The official launch of the Volvo VNL Electric will be announced at a later date.
74 Certified EV dealers
Volvo Trucks continues to expand its coast-to-coast dealer support network for battery-electric trucks, with 74 dealer locations across 29 states and four Canadian provinces. Each of these dealerships has dedicated assets to completing the rigorous safety and technical training to become a Volvo Trucks Certified Electric Vehicle (EV) Dealership, ensuring customers receive comprehensive sales and service support when they deploy zero-tailpipe emission Volvo VNR Electric trucks.
These dealerships work closely with customers throughout their electrification journey and continue to provide post-deployment support, including the Gold Service Contract — a comprehensive service and preventative maintenance solution for the Volvo VNR Electric that includes battery coverage and state of health monitoring.
