Overview
- Volvo Trucks, which announced the portfolio Tuesday, detailed a long‑haul battery‑electric model rated for up to 700 km on a single charge.
- The new electric truck supports fast charging from 20% to 80% in 50 minutes and begins a phased roll‑out in 2026.
- An all‑new 13‑litre platform arrives in diesel D13 and gas G13 versions that run on biodiesel, HVO, and biogas from day one with future hydrogen use planned, with sales starting in the third quarter of 2026.
- Initial engine markets include Europe, Morocco, Turkey, and India, with production in Skövde and truck assembly in Tuve and Ghent before a broader global launch.
- Volvo frames the move as part of a battery electric, fuel cell, and renewable‑fuel combustion strategy toward net‑zero by 2040, citing up to 4% lower fuel use from the new engines on top of earlier Aero gains.
