Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale. 

Volvo Trucks in #northamerica has won an order for 110 #Volvovnrelectrictrucks from the global logistics company #Maersk. The deal adds to a previous order of 16 vehicles of the same model and marks the single largest commercial order to date for Volvo’s electric trucks.

The order was placed by Performance Team, part of the #Maersk Group, and adds up to mean a total of 126 such electric trucks will be in service for Performance Team. The first electric trucks will be in operation in the second quarter of 2022, all 126 trucks are scheduled for deployment by the first quarter of 2023.

“Volvo Trucks is excited to continue collaborating with #Maersk on its fleet sustainability goals and to play a key role in the organization’s continued scaled investments in electromobility solutions,” says Peter Voorhoeve, president of #Volvotrucks #northamerica.

The Class 8 electric trucks will be used in #California for a variety of transport assignments, serving port drayage and warehouse distribution routes.

The #Volvo VNR Electric has an operating range of up to 440 km and energy storage of up to 565kWh. The #truck can be 80% charged in 90 minutes with the six-battery package and 60 minutes with the four-battery version. The #Volvo VNR Electric is produced in #Volvo Trucks’ New River Valley plant in #Virginia, which is the exclusive producer of all #Volvotrucks in #northamerica.

50% electric sales by 2030
Globally, #Volvotrucks has set the ambitious target that by 2030 50% of all trucks it sells will be electric.

“We are determined to lead the electric transformation of the transport industry. Volumes are still low, but we see rapidly growing interest in Europe, #northamerica and also other parts of the world. In 2021 we took orders, including letters of intent to buy, for more than 1,100 trucks in over 20 countries. It´s clearly becoming a key competitive advantage to be able to offer electric, zero emission transports,” says #rogeralm, President #Volvotrucks.

Volvo Trucks was the market leader in heavy electric trucks in 2021 in Europe with a market share of 42% and also has a leading position in #northamerica. With a total of six electric #truck models in production as of this year, #Volvotrucks has the most complete electric line up in the global #truck industry, covering everything from city distribution and refuse handling, to construction transports and regional haulage.
