Volvo will launch a new long-range version of its FH Electric in 2025, which will be able to reach up to 600km on one charge.

Volvo said the longer range represents a breakthrough for long-distance transport with zero tailpipe emissions, enabling transport companies to operate electric trucks on interregional and long-distance routes and to drive a full working day without having to recharge.

The new Volvo FH Electric will be released for sale during the second half of 2025.

“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,” said Roger Alm, president of Volvo Trucks.

“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.”

The enabler for the 600km range is Volvo’s new driveline technology, the so-called e-axle, which creates space for significantly more battery capacity onboard. More efficient batteries, a further improved battery management system and overall efficiency of the powertrain also contribute to the extended range.

Volvo Trucks offers eight battery-electric models in its portfolio. The wide product range makes it possible to electrify city and regional distribution, construction, waste management and, soon, long distance transport. Volvo has so far delivered more than 3800 electric trucks to customers in 46 countries around the world.

“The transport sector represents seven percent of global carbon emissions. Battery-electric trucks are important tools to reduce the climate footprint,” said Alm.

“Besides the important environmental gains that electric trucks bring, they offer truck drivers a much better working environment, with much lower levels of noise and vibrations.”
